The lecture will follow the career of the most prominent German artists in the second halft of the 20th century and relate it to the most important political project of this era, namely the European integration. For a brief period of time - between the late 1960s and the early 1980s, art, and culture in general, get influential in the social and political realm.Beuys stands at the center of this historic constallation. While his work is gradually becoming a part of art history, some aspects remain present.

Teaching Goals:
Knowledge of key works of art and concepts of Joseph Beuys.
Insight into the relation between contemporary and, architecture and politics.
