The first performances by Joseph Beuys were a radical turning point
for twentieth-century art. Beuys saw art as a transformative action
that is both personal and communal, and his expanded artistic
practice engaged spirituality, personal mythology, political
structures, and symbolic materials. For Manresa, one of his
legendary performance actions, which took place on December 15,
1966 in Dusseldorf, he collaborated with the Danish artists Henning
Christiansen and Bjorn Norgaard. This book presents
never-before-seen materials from the performance, including texts,
images, scripts, and preparatory drawings, alongside contributions
from scholars and critics that offer further insight. Friedhelm
Mennekes, an art critic and Jesuit priest, analyses Saint Ignatius
of Loyola's imprint on Beuys's work while elucidating its spiritual
complexity, looking beyond the popular vision of the artist as
shaman. Pilar Parcerisas examines Beuys's spiritual geography,
explaining the importance the town of Manresa within it and also
laying out the physical and mystical coordinates of Eurasia, a site
that was always present in Beuys's work. Klaus-D. Pohl addresses
the paradoxical union between Beuys's mysticism and the
neo-Dadaists of Fluxus. Beuys's collaborator Bjorn Norgaard recalls
his time working with the German artist and reflects on the paths
he opened up. Finally, art historian Harald Szeemann considers the
possibility of liberating politics through spirituality.
