The project aims to promote a current, critical engagement with the art theories and concepts of Joseph Beuys on an international level. Young artists from the participating cities are called upon to deal with the validity of Beuys’ artistic approaches to today’s society. They are encouraged to deal artistically with current social and political issues and how they interrelate. The program consists of an exhibition and a series of artistic interventions in public space. By presenting art in an unconventional way, the social commitment of young artists will be presented to a broad audience. Furthermore, through the project an international network of art academies will be built up and strengthened, and the mobility of artists from the participating countries will be fostered.
