Beuys. The man with the hat, the felt and the fat corner. 30 years after his death, he appears to us as a visionary who was ahead of his time. Patiently he tried to explain even then that “money must not be a commodity”. He knew that the money market would undermine democracy. But more than that. Beuys boxes, parodies, lectures and explains the art to the dead hare. “Do you want to make a revolution without laughing?” He asks - and laughs. His expanded concept of art took him right to the heart of today’s relevant social debates.
