Description

Explore the radical intersection of art and society in post-war West Germany with this scholarly study from Routledge. While political leaders campaigned on stability and a refusal of experimentation, avant-garde art groups were working to transform the fabric of daily life. This book examines how these movements sought to bridge the gap between artistic expression and the lived experience of the public. Learn about the international and intergenerational networks that defined this era, including the influential Fluxus movement active in cities like Dusseldorf, Wiesbaden, and Cologne. The text also covers the impact of the Situationist International and their efforts to break down the walls between the artist and the community. This work provides a deep look at the utopian impulses that challenged the social order during the long 1960s, offering a detailed history of how art attempted to undo the isolation of modern existence.
