MC, Audio Arts vol2 nr1 1975

Side 1: Thirty minute extract from a lecture lasting nearly two hours
serving both as an introduction to some of the fundamental concepts
behind Fuller's arguments and a unique opportunity to witness
the development of his ideas as he speaks.

Side 2: An exhibition called "Art into Society, Society into Art" took
place as the main feature of German Month held at the I.C.A. during
November 1974. Christos M. Joachimedes, a German Art critic suggested
the original concept for the exhibition which presented aspects of German preoccupation with the relationships between art ideology and politics.
Far from being a 'passive' retrospective exhibition of art works, the
intention declared by the colloquium, set up by the co-organizers;
Christos J. Joachimedes, Norman Rosenthal and the artists participating,
was to be an 'active' event with the artists, if possible, being present.

Against this background Joseph Beuys attended and spent the time
holding lecture/discussions mainly about his proposed "Free International
School for Creativity and Interdisciplinary Research". From many hours
of tape it was decided to focus on specific themes within the
discussions and to present these as separate bands.
