This revised edition contains lists of the multiples by Beuys in the collections of the Busch-Reisinger, the Walker, and the Kunstmuseum Bonn, the three largest repositories of Beuys' multiples in the world. A Seminar's Engagement with Joseph Beuys as the occasion to explore key themes in the artist's work. The seminars will focus less on the biography or the myth of the artist and more on the status of his objects and the modes of perception adequate to their complexity. Studying a wide variety of original works, both in the exhibition and in the Busch-Reisinger's study room, participants will have the opportunity to experience Beuys' radically diverse and still challenging oeuvre. Comparisons with the work of some of Beuys' contemporaries will provide better understanding of the historicity and specificity of his achievements.
Doors open one-half hour before concert begins.
