In this book the reader will see hitherto unpublished, historical photographs which, nevertheless, always live the surge and passion of a human relationship. Buby Durini was not a photographer, nor was he interested in photographic techniques. Together with Lucrezia De Domizio he began his journey both in art and beyond art. For Buby Durini it was only possible to photograph if he loved, and for him "to love" meant understanding, sharing, collaborating and living truth by way of the lens of life. During the last twenty-five years of his existence the love for Nature and Mankind led him to the profound meaning of art, establishing a rare and privileged relationship with the most important protagonists of the culture belonging to the later post-war period. An almost fraternal bond united him to Joseph Beuys with whom - and on a continuous basis - he shared numerous scientific and spiritual vicissitudes. The annotations, thoughts, testimonies, images and the same anomalous structure of the book are contributions towards the broadening of thought, expressions addressed to the sublimation of human creativity.
From the beginning of the Sixties until his death, Joseph Beuys (Krefeld, Germany, 1921 - Dusseldorf, 1986) dominated the contemporary avant-garde art scene. After participating in the Fluxus group's first exhibitions, he channeled his efforts into performance and political, social, and ecological projects. He founded cultural movements such as the Union for the New Democracy and the Free International University. Many of his conceptual propositions are memorable through their slogans: "All Men are Artists", "Kunst = Kapital", "We are the Revolution", "Defense of Nature". A participant in the most prestigious international exhibitions, from Kassel's "Documenta" to the Venice Biennial, Beuys also has important retrospective in 1979 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. The artist's works are exhibited in the world's major museums. The anti-traditionalist ideas of Beuysian art aim to renew and improve the manner in which man lives. The German master's prophetic beliefs establish him as an emblematic figure as one of the forerunners in the post-war art world.
1985 äußerte Joseph Beuys in der Reihe »Reden über das eigene Land: Deutschland« an den Münchner Kammerspielen, dass er sein Werk »von der Sprache aus« entwickelt habe. Er verstand die Sprache – den bildnerischen Gestaltungsmitteln ebenbürtig – als plastisches Material, durch das jede Einzelne und jeder Einzelne körperlich, intellektuell und kommunikativ an der Neuordnung der Gesellschaft teilhaben könne. Seine Auseinandersetzung mit Sprache reicht vom Schweigen bis zur stundenlangen Diskussion, von animalisch klingenden Lauten bis zu präzisen Begriffserörterungen und verrätselten Schriften. Entsprechend gliedern sich die Kapitel in die Themen Schweigen, Laute, Begriffe, Schrift, Geheimnis, Legende und Sprechen. Ausstellung und Katalog versammeln Skulpturen, Zeichnungen, Installationen, Filme, Plakate und Dokumente aus den Beständen der Nationalgalerie, der Sammlung Marx, des Kupferstichkabinetts und der Kunstbibliothek der SMB.
This book answers one of the most puzzling questions in contemporary art: how did performance artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s, famous for their opposition both to lasting art and the political establishment, become the foremost monument builders of the ‘80s, ‘90s and today? Not by selling out, nor by making self-undermining monuments. This book argues that the centrality of performance to monuments and indeed public art in general rests not on its ephemerality or anti-authoritarian rhetoric, but on its power to build interpersonal bonds both personal and social. Specifically, the survival of body art in photographs that cross time and space to meet new audiences makes it literally into ...
This publication anables the reader to take a deeper look into the artistic output of Beuys and approach the ideaology and aesthetic of the German artist.
Attraverso il racconto di una testimone privilegiata, che ha vissuto e vive in prima persona da più di quarant'anni, eventi che hanno definito il dna sociale e politico tra la fine degli anni sessanta e l'inizio del nuovo secolo, questo ebook traccia un'immagine inedita, ricca di spunti psicologici e di riflessioni sul mondo della cultura e dell'arte contemporanea italiana e internazionale. Scritto con uno stile diretto ed empatico, il libro è rivolto non solo algli addeti ai lavori ma aun pubblico ampio, che può facilmente avvicinarsi, appassionarsi, come in un romanzo, a un mondo spesso sognato, ma sconosciuto, per comprendere le trame anche le più nascoste, i giochi e i "doppi giochi", e vivere così da protagonista lo star system della cultura e dell'arte.
