Dear Friends,
In this edition of the Goethe-Institut Washington newsletter, the Beuys are back in town – Joseph Beuys, that is. In celebration of the avant-garde German performance artist's 100th birthday, Goethe-Instituts and Goethe Pop Ups across the USA are taking a look at Beuys' work and reflecting on his legacy and continuing impact on contemporary artists. In cooperation with the Hirshhorn Museum, we are presenting #aboutbeuysDC: Reflections on Beuys, a series of eight short videos in which local artists express their relationships to Beuys' work in their own creative and unique ways.
The Goethe Pop Up in Seattle, together with the Henry Art Gallery, is offering two online workshops on Beuys, accessible to interested participants anywhere. Meanwhile, our colleagues in Chicago will stream I Like America and America Likes Me, Helmut Wietz's documentary of Beuys' 1974 performance of the same name.
