In a 1985 series of "Lectures on one's own country: Germany", given
at the Munich Kammerspiele, Joseph Beuys said that he developed his
work "from language." He regarded language as equal to visual art-a
flexible material through which every individual could physically,
intellectually, and communicatively participate in the process of
re-ordering society. His exploration of language ranges from
silence to hours of debate, from animal sounds to precise
discussions of concepts and puzzling writings. Accordingly, the
chapters are divided into the themes of "silence," "sounds,"
"concepts," "writing," "mystery," "legends," and "speech." Both
exhibition and catalogue assemble sculptures, drawings,
installations, films, posters, and documents from the
Nationalgalerie, the Sammlung Marx, the Kupferstichkabinett, and
the Art Library of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. Texts by:
Claudia Ehgartner, Barbara Gronau, Kolja Kohlhoff, Maja Naef,
Stefan Ripplinger, Nina Schallenberg, Holger Schulze, Tobias Vogt,
Matthias Weiss, and Wiese.
