German conceptual artist gets research center in China

The center, which falls under the umbrella of Beuys' nomadic Free International University, collects, researches and exhibits a wide range of materials related to the artist.

The show focuses on exploring important aspects of Beuys' art, and its curatorial concepts have been influenced by the ideas of French philosopher and poet Paul Valery (1871-1945), who emphasized the significance of art action and concepts of creation. This approach distinguishes the creative process from how art is accepted and perceived.
