Felt offers a nonlinear examine the engagement of the postwar avant-garde with japanese spirituality, a context within which the German artist Joseph Beuys seems to be as an uneasy shaman. based on a hugely publicized but famously inconclusive 1982 assembly among Beuys and the Dalai Lama, prepared by way of the Dutch artist Louwrien Wijers, Chris Thompson explores the interconnections between Beuys, the Fluxus move, and jap philosophy and non secular practice.

Building from the resonance of felt, the material, in either Tibetan tradition and in Beuys’s paintings, Thompson takes as his element of departure Deleuze and Guattari’s dialogue in A Thousand Plateaus of felt as tender area that's “in precept countless, open, and limitless in each direction,” its constitution decided unintentionally rather than the deliberate, woven nature of such a lot materials. Felt is hence obvious as a substitute to the version of the community: felt’s anarchic shape isn't reducible to the regularity of the web, grid, or mesh, and the extra it's pulled, tweaked, torn, and agitated, the better its structural integrity.

Felt hence invents its technique from the cloth that represents its item of inquiry and from this advances a examining of the avant-garde. while, Thompson demonstrates that it truly is occasionally the mess ups of idea, the disappointing conferences, even the premature deaths that open portals in which lifestyles flows into artwork and permits new conjunctions of lifestyles, artwork, and notion. Thompson explores either the well known engagement of Fluxus artists with jap spirituality and the extra elusive nature of Beuys’s personal past due curiosity in Tibetan tradition, arriving at a feeling of the way such noncausal interactions—interhuman intrigue—create tradition and form modern artwork history.
