CREATION MYTH

A talk on the work of Joseph Beuys.
As a schoolboy in 1974 Andre Stitt saw Joseph Beuys interacting with the public on the streets of Belfast. This formative experience had a profound effect on the young would-be artist. In his talk Stitt takes us on a personal journey through Beuys' work, the current exhibition, the cult and mythology of performance art, and their relationship to his own arts practice.
