HONEY BUNNY - A homage to Joseph Beuys
October 20, 2021, 6 p.m.
In "HONEY BUNNY - A hommage to Joseph Beuys", artists explore the work of the artist Joseph Beuys musically, visually, installatively and linguistically.
The musicians Hein, Muche, Rieko and Weitzel deal with Beuys' ideas, materials and artistic strategies without merely "translating" Beuys' visual language into music. Rather, the focus is on an adequate sonic examination of Beuys' work.
Reflection on Joseph Beuys' work in the form of visual media plays an important role in the works of Kerbaj and Schmitz. They transfer Beuysian motifs and metaphors into the performance space in their own aesthetic visual language in the spirit of homage.
The internationally renowned speaker Christian Reiner will use Beuys' texts/lectures and the artist's philosophical language material to develop an authentic approach to his work and philosophy.
