Museum Schloss Moyland Brotherus – Block – Beuys Planting Potatoes – Transformations

In her analysis of Beuys, Elina Brotherus changes perspectives and plays with the female gaze on the iconic German artist.
The well-known Finnish photo and video artist Elina Brotherus (b. 1972) deals with iconic motifs from art history as well as with the reinterpretation of Fluxus actions and event scores, the recordings of performances. In this context, the artist has also restaged Joseph Beuys’s action Kartoffelernte (Potato Harvest), which originally took place in 1977 in front of the gallery of René Block, an important champion of FLUXUS and Beuys. At the Museum Schloss Moyland and the Joseph Beuys Archive, Elina Brotherus researched Beuys, Block, and Beuys’s performance photographer Ute Klophaus. New photographs and video installations of a fictional character were created at locations visited by Beuys, as well as new works with René Block, which are being shown for the first time in this publication and in the exhibition of the same name.
