I Like America and America Likes Me, 1974
performance


Joseph Beuys

Beuys’s most famous Action took place in May 1974, when he spent three days in a room with a coyote. After flying into New York, he was swathed in felt and loaded into an ambulance, then driven to the gallery where the Action took place, without having once touched American soil. As Beuys later explained: ‘I wanted to isolate myself, insulate myself, see nothing of America other than the coyote.’ The title of the work is filled with irony. Beuys opposed American military actions in Vietnam, and his work as an artist was a challenge to the hegemony of American art.

Beuys’s felt blankets, walking stick and gloves became sculptural props throughout the Action. In addition, fifty new copies of the Wall Street Journal were introduced each day, which the coyote acknowledged by urinating on them. Beuys regularly performed the same series of actions with his eyes continuously fixed on the coyote. At other times he would rest or gather the felt around him to suggest the figure of a shepherd with his crook. The coyote’s behaviour shifted throughout the three days, becoming cautious, detached, aggressive and sometimes companionable. At the end of the Action, Beuys was again wrapped in felt and returned to the airport.

all photographies by Thierry Kupferschmid

Thierry Kupferschmid is born in 1970 at Lausanne (Switzerland) and he lives at Lausanne and New-York (USA).
His artwork (drawings, paintings, photographies, performances) explores the borders between human beings and natural elements (mineral, vegetal, animal), and btw it asks about what is exactly the human conditions. Like a modern shaman, he tries to change and to mute anger, frustrations and desires into creative energies.

(work in progress)

'(W)e (w)e(r)e (h)e(r)e' is a work in progress by E(dpf), a kind of self-portraits with the ideas of isolation and absence, effacement and fading, with the romantical aspects ov past, it could be considered like a work connected with psychogeography's projects (developed by Ralph Rumney and Guy Debord, by the past).
The paths we've taken defines us and have changed our mindsets, our energies rates.
But if you go down to the woods today, don't try to look for us, we're not there.
