A few words from the mouth of a forgotten prophet disguised as artist: ~Joseph Beuys
“The dignity of man is inextricably bound up with the inviolability of the person, and whoever disregards this, leaves the the plane of being human …. Therefore, every way of using violence is an expression of conformity which thus consolidates that which it wants to dissolve.
“Really, why shouldn’t it be possible, in a society where democracy has been developed to a certain level, to discuss in the freest possible way the necessary further developments? Too many people already are afraid that if they did so they would become suspect as enemies of the constitution.
“Thinking Forms: how we mould our thoughts or
“Spoken Forms: how we shape our thoughts into words or
“Social Structure: how we mould and shape the world we live; Sculpture as an evolutionary process; everyone an artist.”
