Beuys Voice
by Lucrezia De Domizio Durini
is a forthcoming volume to be published by the
Kunsthaus Zürich and Mondadori Electa
in three distinct editions: Italian, German and English. The book will be about 1,000 pages long, and it will include 400 photographic images taken from the De Domizio Durini historical archive, as well as the writings of a number of international figures from the world of culture; together they will underscore the importance of Beuysian
Living Sculpture ,
that is, the relationship between men of different races, origins, religions, and social, economic, political and cultural levels, all joined by a unified and free collaboration.
The volume is a
story told by Beuys personally, a story which
events and documents, testimonies and human relations of all those who directly experienced and shared this artist's poetics, in which Life and Art live together in symbiosis. Beuys's vision is expanded by Art, by a
total Art
that by touching upon all the disciplines that concern mankind is addressed to improve society with a pedagogical intent. The volume also takes into consideration the Post-Beuys phase, that is, the work carried out to disseminate the Master's thought by scholars and artists who were his contemporaries. The project essentially seeks to be a total and analytical work concerning the thought and the oeuvre of Joseph Beuys, both the man and the artist. From May 13 to August 14, 2011 at the Kunsthaus Zürich an exhibition entitled Joseph Beuys – Defence of Nature
will be held for the first time; the curators of the event are Lucrezia De Domizio Durini, one of the leading scholars of Beuysian thought, and the art historian Tobia Bezzola. The project starts from the majestic work Olivestone, donated by De Domizio Durini to the Kunsthaus in 1992, and then focuses—by way of De Domizio's entire private collection of works—on the operation known as
Defence of Nature,a project that the German Master carried out in Italy in the last 15 years of his life thanks to the solid collaboration of Lucrezia De Domizio and the photographic lens of her husband Buby Durini. The Defence of Nature project first took place in the early 1970s when Joseph Beuys began to cultivate a fifteen-hectare plot of land in Bolognano (Abruzzo), destined to the planting of 7,000 bushes and trees that risked extinction: the result was the Piantagione Paradise , o r
Paradise Plantation . On May 13, 1984, Beuys plants the first Italian oak in the Plantation, right in front of his studio: it is the beginning of the discussion "Defence of Nature," the veritable emblem of this ambitious Abruzzese project. The Defence of Nature should be understood not just in an ecological sense; actually and more importantly it should be read in terms of its anthropological meaning: defence of man, creativity and human values , topics, more than ever before, of great interest today. The book Beuys Voice
will accompany and integrate the exhibition. May 12, 2011 is the 90 th anniversary of the birth of Joseph Beuys (1921- 1986). The Kunsthaus Zürich will pay tribute to the German Master with a major international event, which will also be part of the exhibition.

The project Nature Protection
comes to life in the early seventies when Joseph Beuys began the cultivation of land fifteen acres in Bologna, in Abruzzo, for the planting of 7000 trees and shrubs in danger of extinction, giving rise to Piantagione Paradise . Il 13 maggio del 1984, Beuys mette a dimora la prima quercia italiana nella Piantagione, di fronte al suo studio, e dà luogo alla discussione "Difesa della Natura", emblema di tutto l'ambizioso progetto abruzzese.
