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.

The first monograph on the Berlin- and London-based collective Artists Anonymous, this publication examines the group's magnum opus, "The Apocalyptic Warriors," which updates for our times the themes of famine, war and death traditionally associated with the Four Horsemen theme. Depicting drugs, environmental damage and AIDS, the work is incarnated in paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos.

Pioneering German artists Anna and Bernhard Blume present themselves in black-and-white staged photographs of absurd yet ordinary situations, deconstructing bourgeois and artistic ideals in subversive, Dada-esque compositions. A very cool book.

The installation artist Arnold Dreyblatt is renowned for his media- and archive-supported works concerned with cultural memory. The collection "Innocent Questions" addresses Dreyblatt's most recent work, which focuses on the question of the violation of personal rights in the present day. Using an oversized punch card, he shapes the facade of the Holocaust museum and Research Center in Oslo, Norway.
