Joseph Beuys : Parallel Processes by Marion Ackermann (2010, Hardcover)

Description: Joseph Beuys : Parallel Processes by Marion Ackermann (2010, Hardcover). Parallel Processes, part of the Dusseldorf Quadriennale, was a major retrospective of Beuys’ work, bringing together around three hundred drawings, sculptures, vitrines, modified objects, etc. arranged around ten major installations. In many ways the exhibition seemed comprehensive, with so many famous pieces gathered in one place. The Pack (1969), Stripes from the House of the Shaman (1964-1972, 1980), Tramstop (1976), Show Your Wound (1974-1975), Lightning with Stag in its Glare (1958-1985), all duly appeared, before the tour of Beuys’ remains terminated in the transmutational Palazzo Regale (1985), in which all the felt, lead, minerals and rough board of the previous spaces abruptly turned to gold. But what a handful of video-recordings, scrawled pronouncements (for instance, two placards referring to ‘Baader + Meinhof’), and knowledge that, next door in the Schmela Haus annex, the five-and-a-half hour recording of the action Celtic+ ~~~ (1971) was running, reminded the visitor was that, no matter how many pieces were brought together to represent Beuys’ art, the very restriction to material objects meant that a whole dimension of Beuys’ activity, of what he himself considered to be his art – the persona, the ‘politics’, the educational initiatives, the actions and less formal performance, the pronouncements – was absent. It is interesting what happens in this absence. The book interior is in great condition. The outside has a few visible scuffs and marks but nothing major except the corner sticker damage on the binding (see pic). USPS Flat Rate Shipping within 2 business days.
