German conceptual artist gets research center in China
As the inaugural exhibition, the show takes Beuys' environmental art project 7000 Oaks as the starting point to review his achievements in seven sections. On display are 11 of the over 110 photographs of the 7000 Oaks performance art project, which are being shown for the first time in China, as well as prints, 550 multiple editions of art pieces and postcards, posters, and nearly 400 books and publications about Beuys.
According to Jonas Stampe, the show's co-curator, the aim is to help the audience understand and appreciate Beuys' art in a new and unconventional way. It also seeks to inspire participation in environmental conservation and social progress by building upon and extending the 7000 Oaks project, he adds.
The exhibition will run until June 15.
