DEBT - TERRITORY - UTOPIA

The exhibition “Capital: Debt – Territory – Utopia" revolves around Joseph Beuys's pioneering work The Capital Space 1970–1977, made for the Venice Biennale in 1980.

This monumental work, here exhibited in Berlin for the first time, is among the most important environments in Beuys's oeuvre. As the symbol of his constant search for liveable alternatives, it sums up his artistic work of the 1970s. During this period, Beuys developed a new definition of capital: released from its relation to money, his new conception put the creative potential of human beings at the centre of economic thought: “Art = Capital".
