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
capacity-as an acting, speaking, and moving figure-that 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 today's perspective, they confirm, question, and
expand upon his theses about the possibilities of a future
conceived via art. With B-Town Warriors, Phyllida Barlow, Nelly Ben
