Description

Felt provides a nonlinear look at the engagement of the postwar avant-garde with Eastern spirituality; a context in which the German artist Joseph Beuys appears as an uneasy shaman. Centered on a highly publicized yet famously inconclusive 1982 meeting between Beuys and the Dalai Lama; arranged by the Dutch artist Louwrien Wijers; Chris Thompson explores the interconnections among Beuys; the Fluxus movement; and Eastern philosophy and spiritual practice.
