In thirteen chapters, the exhibition and the accompanying catalogue offer profound insight into the cosmopolitan thinking of Joseph Beuys, as manifested in his actions, which are presented in the form of video projections and photographs. For it is in this capacityùas an acting, speaking, and moving figureùthat Beuys examined the central, radical idea of his expanded concept of art: ''Every human being is an artist.'' The goal of his universalist approach was to renew society from the ground up. To this day, his influence can be felt in artistic and political discourses. In this exhibition, contemporary artists and representatives from various areas of society enter into a multilayered, transcultural dialogue with Beuys. From todayÆs perspective, they confirm, question, and expand upon his theses about the possibilities of a future conceived via art.
