100 Years of Beuys: A Discussion on the work and impact of Joseph Beuys on Houston and Beyond
Join us on October 21st for a discussion in partnership with Project Row Houses honoring the centenary Joseph Beuys!
His theory of “social sculpture” (Soziale Plastik), envisions art having a formative effect on society. Through this lense, all actors and aspects of social life may change their conditions to restructure and shape society rather than to simply produce tangible artifacts.
The discussion will bring together artist and co-founder of Project Row Houses: Rick Lowe, founding Executive Director of the Moody Center for the Arts at Rice University: Alison Weaver, and life-long artist advocate and former-Executive Director of Project Row Houses: Linda Shearer.
