Beuys
Fugitive Materials
Decay and transience is a major theme of Joseph Beuys’s work. It is embodied in the ephemerality of many of the materials he used. This discussion focuses on how close attention to the fugitive, material character of specific artworks can make us think differently about their meanings, and about the temporality of art. It brings together Alison Bracker, Research Fellow in Conservation at the Royal College of Art, who has written on the ethics of conserving impermanent materials; Tate's Head of Sculpture Conservation, Derek Pullen; and Christina Frohnert, Head of Conservation at Museum Ludwig, Cologne.
In collaboration with the Fugitive Materials research project Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design
