Capri Battery (1985)by Joseph Beuys(Germany)

Demonstrates A Simple Galvanic Principle



JOSEPH BEUS was a leading Figure of the 68' Revolutionin West Germany.

His wholistic Concept of Art included Science, Technology, Philosophy and Spirituality.

It was based on Duchamp's Conceptual Art and on the Philosophy of the 68' Revolution.

In my youth (70s & 80s) J. Beuys was one of our local Heros in North Rhine-Westphalia,

The most Scandalous Professor of Arts the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf ever had.

(They had to fire him to Re-Conquer the Academy and get the Students under Control again)

Düsseldorf City ist the Capital of my Home Province North Rhine-Westphalia.

It is located at the River Rhine and only about 50 Kilometers East of my Hometown.

Therefore most of our Art-Teachers were Fans of BEUS and some had been his Students.

In the 70s and 80s they told us at average german Middle-Schools that everything can be Art

With the basic Concepts of Duchamp and Everyone can be an Artist with the basic Concepts of Beuys.

But I bet that's not what they are telling them today ....
