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

Martin Luther changed the world. He inspired and provoked people,
and he moved them and repulsed them - but he left no one cold. The
volume invites the reader to study Luther at close quarters, to
accompany him in his existential search and to enquire into his
lasting importance for the present and the future . By examining 95
precious objects this publication to accompany the exhibition
follows in the footsteps of the young monk Luther along his route
towards the Reformation. Who was the man wh o published his theses
against the trade in indulgences despite being in mortal danger?
Whatstates, events and circumstances prepared the ground for this
epoch - making posting of the theses? The second part of the volume
presents 95 people. From Johann Seba stian Bach to Bruce Nauman,
from Sophie Scholl to Pier Paolo Pasolini: irrespective of creed or
life philosophy, people all over the world make reference to the
great reformer. That is perhaps the most interesting thing about
Luther: that he has continued to move people for 500 years.
