take on the world. the oldest it's nearly all about the stories that matter to you. but it's. going to make. sure we are yours actually on fire. playing. experience which to be able to see i think i'm going to want to just want to see them go. boys was a fascinating character as a person he was very quick to crush on the people fully when he didn't wear official for nothing. i think his polarizes on pretty much every issue he looked at and that's why we're still arguing about him today.

if. i gave them names to students who ringback choose if voice magical controversial charismatic with his expanded concept of hot and with his materials like felton and fire that he turned to the 960 s. art scene on its head and set out to transform politics and society still dogma so it was nice to get as many value could transmit a 100 vacuum i could go on i. think i. want to live my. all day long. i'll get it done. a profit in any case the most famous german artist off his time he's 100th birthday we ask what inspired james. the cloister until you see inspired today.

was. the artist and teacher was famed for his performances. once he covered his head in honey and gold leaf and guided a dead hare through his exhibition with viewers looking on from outside. profane prophetic or simply provocative. i know. this is an art work and it gets to the heart of many things such as the question how does conventional communication function and what happens in that communication is declined that's. always going the term social sculpture for his art his

works involved creating structures spatially and in society he developed new forms of expression and a very specific language and consensus concept his artistic concept begins with thought and his skull trip process is about making his thoughts visible and one way of making it possible is language is possible. in the upcoming starting language exhibition at berlin's hamburger bahnhof explores the museum's boyce collection and the themes that are still relevant in the 21st century only slip tallow is a huge wedge of bat both animal and synthetic the work is about unfinished business it also raises concrete questions about spatial change about energetic and transformative processes. for boys everything was art the forming of simple sounds the physical act of speaking scribbling from countless lectures on

the expanded concept of art at once hugely complex and strangely bake them on its most previous one a tough one when you see a blackboard like this which says show your womb show where you're vulnerable what needs to be healed with needs to be improved. and healing are major themes for boys and the 1st question is who was wounded when the victims the perpetrators one that . these are questions i ask myself when i see his language stand up. born in 1921 joseph boyce was in the hitler youth and during world war 2 he was part of a bomber squadron food for thought. is he deceiving us are there secrets in the air was he progressive or backward looking a reactionary or and innovate. he was suddenly growing up with national socialist ideology serving as a soldier in

a war i'm not sure at that point particularly questioning and he had thought i think that he went through a fairly typical indoctrination at that time so i think that he made it very clear when he came out of the war experience that it was essential for people to transform for society to transform and that he conceded a process that he chases materials that are always changing like catch or felt or i mean it's that's a fixed material but it's in gauging it in because it's metallic and i think that all of his works and get that sense of not being finished and that's where he's heading. there's all these remarkable groupon told me. with one voice broken radically with conventions exploring the boundaries of the doable space curator a current exhibition at stuttgart starts gallery makes this clear i'm going to.

have to start to stomach but he didn't want the small room he said it was because this were quite unfit but of course he felt that he should have a proper space here. and he is still the only living artist to have ever had a whole room to himself here in the home. on the 100th anniversary of his birth voices unrestrained creative urge is taking center stage again. be honest with you said dimension of my thought of you is not only of the article it is if you want to boyce wanted to get rid of the trench concepts and authority he resonated with the younger generation his objection to admission requirements famously lost his teaching post at the dusseldorf on academy. events. by talking to the. voice was a champion of social change but he was also interested in religion and spirituality i did creating its own mythical persona. he wasn't always consistent.

you have the boys he said women should have received an income for the work that they do at home so that's pretty progressive. and at the same time you say that. this kind of patriarchy. in the center of his i just costs always i think that it's as ambivalent on this question as it is on every question with voice and that's probably why he remains interesting as an artist i think he's polarizes on pretty much every issue you look at. even in 2021 voice comes across as larger than life. the k. 20 collection in dusseldorf juxtaposes his works with contemporary art works that question capitalism and the financial system demanding alternatives and radical change. plays an important role.

that includes films of several boys performances in 1974 he wrapped himself in belts and locked himself up in a new york gallery with a live coyote and copies of the wall street journal. this time around the main interest is can we get anything out of his thoughts on democracy on the freight and on the oppression on the environment and that's obviously the most revealing question we face now the man in the hat was a pioneer of the ecological movement in 1902 he proposed a plan to plant 7000 trees and costal for document to 7 he was rooting for a better future. for another year. i don't feel it's going on there like. some flights. of. it's that work people can most relate to people who have no idea about art or about voice can immediately identify everything that they

. start and set them up right with the tree and that's what makes voice so powerful . is that his ability to capture people's imaginations because that's where you know that's what transformation comes in when people start to imagine that things could be different. voice demonstrate that the power of art to change open spaces sustainably his social sculptures can be found in new york and history planting project has become a model for artists and artists all over the world including in mexico. the music. girl. called. mexican artist pedal he's rethink things down in. his projects the people's united nations provides a forum for discussion this geopolitical workshop is based on you and assemblies or

to me people have their say not politicians or international diplomats should actually demand that they should pay more as women in the hopes that maybe at some point something in the heads of white shift. boyce's influence in the people's united nations becomes visible that just such utopian moments. these are utopias of a different social reality and that's a myth which has made him one of the most popular contemporary artists in mexico. his most famous working poor he still us shuffles for. with the government support he called on residents just. didn't done this for grocery vouches in 2008 this led to 1527 guns been melted down and turned into shovels which 8th used to plant the same number of trains. in place of each

gun there's now a tree. that i was moved i was intrigued by this transmutation of the material. it's like a visible transformation of the metal. turning an agent of death into an agent of life and with everybody and he's continued the project well why eat you are going to for a few months for democrats up like is a voice he initiate processes and creates communities to talk on think about the power of change. go and visit every tree planting a vent is like a catalyst bringing together a community that talks about the problem of weapons. in the atlanta trees are living monuments those rewards. to address ongoing

violence in mexico they use has worked with this material again and again and his subsequent project to disarm he turned guns into musical instruments. together with a team of musicians he created a mechanical orchestra that tom leslie plays computer generated compositions. for an exhibition in basel switzerland in 2020. new new 6 boxes made of puns from a leading gun manufacturer and this time in on the worldwide sales and distribution of guns. i wanted to show how the problem of violence begins in the factories where guns are produced. many of these guns are from countries that

aren't gripped by violence. to go is a program and yet their products cause pain suffering and death across the globe where the water will move the same token to move the whole world would bend. if it from an end to the arms and history. thread out of my mentor. wants to use his roloson artistic change the welds. he designed his home studio in. mexico city's artists district doesn't open house in place of exchange. predict one of the social sculpture projects i'm working on is the opening up of libraries. and i had to start with my own private library. i began by posting my books on instagram every day and people started asking to borrow them. so my personal collection turned into a public one i then managed to persuade other institutions like the cardio hill

museum to loan out their books to. separate us but i'm not really. a total haney's would like to see light breeze throughout the city and pinup said fine he's ready whenever he can feel he'll museum face project not jumps from the winning out books but even in place of a box. a few of them already definable. the public can come to the museum and sign up like a library of. pick one of the works take it home and live with it and their domestic surroundings the mystical. this is one of his 1st exhibitions in mexico and took place in the early 1996 well. it's had an impact on petrol. prices and so it's played

a crucial role for me especially his conviction that art has a use he's inspiring but more through his ideas than his works. boise's ideas to social sculpture pioneer not only in mexico he made a mocking. the japanese city tryout as the site of her voice premier it's the 1st time he's installation curation staff has been exhibited here. includes nearly 4 metre long poles wrapped in fails. to bring a masterpiece or wheels the boys are really very with. it there is a very. large. sum. we need to be. transported to expiate there are some so i got the original stuff is

a metaphor for our cultural link the work goes back to performance by boys and the book says composer henning christianson in vienna in 1967 and acted with felt fact and grand gestures. were. you raise your idea is a utopian idea try to remove all the borders. border between east on the west side it as a as a german and the west and serve me because of cold war and also the. europe and asia is a metaphor for your radio but also try to remove the border between you and me so when these border removed we become want her. of course as performances were decisively influenced by fluxus artists above all by the korean artist namjoo pick who later became the superstar of video art. i can

imagine paco art center and soul searching for clues to the connection between these 2 exceptional artists. says pixar brick voice box can even be explored from home using virtual reality. they influence the other together through the whole life from 961 since their 1st meeting on thir 986 when voice or voice they had this very deep conscious in understanding their relationship in artistically or personally. there is treasure in the basement over 2000 analog video tapes and labels by now to pick among them it's one of the last joint performances with voice k o d 3 in tokyo in 1000 before on stage were 2 grand pianos but boys had other plans.

some clothes that i should but there were bethel bands and traditional there korean and japanese music it's always making. screening sound using his role. and song varies they already sound using the chalk on the left. like. in 1999 june pig created the boys had installation paint on march to its late friend and his iconic headgear. rather than hero worship the go to institute is attempting a critical. through our to initiative and workshops in seoul and tokyo among other places. the project boy sawn off is about turning the perspective around so to

speak artists from any look from east to west they take up voices ideas and concepts just as he appropriated a cultural sphere in his work namely his concept of eurasia. one of these artists is from tokyo where his project sounds of eurasia the musician not only mixes stick pits of voices for us but also clicks sounds from his own neighborhood he then uses all of these elements to create a vinyl record which he sends to other musicians in asia by post. for you also of boys eurasia was not a real place it was a conceptual entity so for my project when the records travel and arrive to new artist it's a physical object and it's something that they could feel and touch and it's a way for me to connect with these artists through not just through the internet but through an actual object. when. they must

there was a perk to cory's and her poise his trip to japan in $94.00 he went there to take part in a whisky commercial he found. it enabled him to make a very secure in his in the booming japanese economy of the 1980 s. and earned him 650000 german marks boys the critic of capitalism needed the money for his 7000 oaks project in castle. during boyce's time in japan the advertising agency heard to film team to accompany him. for now all you have to chaos who managed to take a snapshot of boys in the botanical garden during the shoot. today as renowned art photographer had to pay homage has a different for us boys and his criticism of excessive consumption and the environmental destruction of japan. he points to the wounds caused by the 2000.

nuclear disaster. there was a kind of froze over his walk. through. to this well i'm not sure. it's not. obvious through opinion well it's very very quick i. just said boys may have been ahead of his time in the 1980 s. says the photographer but the themes that he tackled such as environmental protection and a world without borders are more important today than ever. boyce was also good at giving importance to seemingly useless things. tony cracks greatest because on construction is arguably this sculpture park which was transformed from an abandoned plot of land and. where the british artist has

lived for some time now. boyce he believes that art is always political. in a world where everything is becoming impoverished and weaker and destroyed scotcher is one of the only ways of producing new forms new language new ideas new emotions and i think that's a very very important role you know while the industry is dead killing everything around us we as a species were able to destroy ourselves but i think that. suppose ability of opening up the sculpture park is a space of energetic exchange. pranks on works enter a dialogue with the works of other artists. currently those of joseph boyce. voice and a lot of artists of that generation they were the 1st ones to talk about the

environment they were the 1st ones to really start to talk about our relationship to nature they were the 1st ones to talk about our acceptance of political systems of of ideas of hierarchy and so when you look at art today and you see how many platforms for protest have opened up. artists like voice set into motion is more relevant than ever the exhibition perpetual motion comprises small works that make for big art replete with symbolism like the rose for democracy or preparing. * the idea is very simple whereas acid then there has to be a chemical reaction that has to be exchange of electrons could be a source of power and such but this is the images so john was critical study part of physical the absurdity of science the apparent absurdity of science the shift leads the simplicity of the way we use diets compared to the reality of how complex

things are. boyce's complex thoughts compacted into little sculptures raise more questions than they answer. indeed there's not so much to see but what the observer is left with is what owns one's own reflection you find out what you think what you have in your head and poise use that a great deal in the only obviously the starting point the journey you have to make yourself you know who who doesn't think as that has to go says works emanate positive energy according to tony crack. and to all of the convoluted thoughts often conceal a great deal of humor. at what i remember really is laughter. is a laugh like almost see all of these tea that everything there is a soon as you start to deal with never been there before then you start to

a daily little bit with the absurd with your reaction is. is is is hysterical is to laugh is to become involved in the thing there are all sorts of things including love. tony cracked 1st met voice in london in 1972. actually seeing him in the white house he stood there with his face a jacket on in his hat and a curious curious figure and not very good english i have to say people came off the street into the building and they said your terminology who are you doing you are country you know. boys just had a fantastic way of he could really get hold of people and pull them in he didn't wear a fish in fact for nothing you know you really start doing gauge them on a very human level. so you don't have to understand at all to get boyce just be creative and follow your intuition. he

said does not seem to be useful also feel some cost to get there. because. of a kind of power in what he did he was a scout it was an ox it's you know a poet and so that's really what is left. for .
