The “Expanded Work of Art” Positions in Art and Education

This course continues the exploration of Joseph Beuys’ “expanded concept of art” begun in the WS 2002/2003, this time in connection with the “Beuys-Symposion” being held from April 30 to May 4, 2003 in Achberg near Bodensee.

Oriented on the lectures of the symposium, the course will focus particularly on the following issues:

• Positions of aesthetic and political education against the background of the “expanded concept of art”
• Implications of Joseph Beuys’ “theory of sculpture” for art education and, analogously, for music and dance education
