JOSEPH BEUYS. PERPETUAL MOTION

Joseph Beuys’s maxim “Every human being is an artist” redefined the boundaries of art. He attributes to the artist - and thus to every person - the ability to creatively grow beyond existing conditions, to connect with their archaic past as well as with a visionary future. He sees culture as the source of inspiration for this creative change. The forces formulated there can ultimately, according to Beuys, dynamize the economy and the legal system and bring about the improvement of one's existence as well as of one's entire existence, connecting with one's archaic past as well as with a visionary future. Perpetual motion.

Joseph Beuys. Perpetual Motion is an occasion for a new look and discussion of the work of Joseph Beuys, who as an artist and political activist, as a hypersensitive person and a keenly rational thinker, campaigned for the realization of a utopia.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of lectures that will highlight the comprehensive theory of the artist, who posited that “every grip must be right” for every moment of artistic activity.
