Beuys Has the best words.
“Money and capital cannot be an economic value, capital is human dignity and creativity.”
“I say only that I have done certain experiments and explorations that have stimulated discussion… I certainly do not claim that any lasting value attaches to these experiments that I have conducted… my concern can only be…whether one can bring people to and into this kind of movement, in the culture that holds and has held sway, and has numbed them into inaction; whether things can be freed up and released, so that people can accomplish this together.”
I’m currently reading a Beuys book called What is Art? edited by Volker Harlan and translated into English, where these quotes come from… Beuys speaks a lot of sense. In my opinion, essential reading.
