Phillip Ursprung - Lecture and discussion
Since the 1960s, many artists have increasingly turned to the themes of ecology and environmental protection or have dedicated their works to the tense relationship between nature and culture.

Artists such as Richard Long, Mario Merz, Nancy Holt or Ana Mendieta create expansive works made of natural materials such as earth, stone or plants. Others abandon classical art genres altogether and work in an activist manner.
Agnes Denes, for example, planted a wheat field in the middle of New York as well as Joseph Beuys who planted 7000 oak trees in Kassel. What remains of these actions and are they still relevant today? Phillip Ursprung, author of a major Beuys monograph among other things, will address this question.
