The Austrian artist Monika Fioreschy (b. 1947) was in search of new forms of expression when, in the course of observing heart surgery, she was inspired to use an entirely new material for her work, medical grade silicon tubing, which she uses to weave works of art filled with fluids. Injection Art presents more than 50 of these compelling pieces.Trained in the craft of classic Gobelin weaving, Monika Fioreschy first received international recognition for her large-format, abstract and very colourful wall tapestries. Approximately 15 years ago, she began to use, as a new material, medical grade silicon tubing, similar to that used to move fluids to and from the patient during operations. The tubes range in diameter from the very fine, up to the thickness of a finger. After creating the body-like woven works of art, she uses disposable syringes to fill the tubes with various fluids, such as blood, chlorophyll and the juices of fruits and plants to give the appearance of life and thus stimulate and challenge the viewer.

The Italian goldsmith of the “Paduan School” Giampaolo Babetto is famous for his jewellery – geometrically distinct shapes arranged into refined entities of extraordinary perfection and beauty. However, the artist’s wide-ranging spectrum also includes furniture design, silverwork, sculptures, liturgical utensils, and architecture; even his design drawings possess an autonomous character and artistic value.In addition to Christian iconography, his sources of inspiration include the fresco cycles of Renaissance artist Jacopo da Pontormo but also echo Minimalism, Neoplasticism, Neoconstructivism, and “arte programmata/cinetica.”The Entity of Being presents the first overarching survey of the virtuoso Babetto. The comprehensive catalogue section is complemented by four contributions that provide exciting insights into the work of this universal artist.Text in English, German and Italian.

The first performances by Joseph Beuys were a radical turning point for twentieth-century art. Beuys saw art as a transformative action that is both personal and communal, and his expanded artistic practice engaged spirituality, personal mythology, political structures, and symbolic materials. For Manresa, one of his legendary performance actions, which took place on December 15, 1966 in Düsseldorf, he collaborated with the Danish artists Henning Christiansen and Bjørn Nørgaard.This book presents never-before-seen materials from the performance, including texts, images, scripts, and preparatory drawings, alongside contributions from scholars and critics that offer further insight. Friedhelm Mennekes, an art critic and Jesuit priest, analyses Saint Ignatius of Loyola’s imprint on Beuys’s work while elucidating its spiritual complexity, looking beyond the popular vision of the artist as shaman. Pilar Parcerisas examines Beuys’s spiritual geography, explaining the importance the town of Manresa within it and also laying out the physical and mystical coordinates of Eurasia, a site that was always present in Beuys’s work. Klaus-D. Pohl addresses the paradoxical union between Beuys’s mysticism and the neo-Dadaists of Fluxus. Beuys’s collaborator Bjørn Nørgaard recalls his time working with the German artist and reflects on the paths he opened up. Finally, art historian Harald Szeemann considers the possibility of liberating politics through spirituality.

This book brings together for the first time all the material related to Joseph Beuys performance, the Action MANRESA, as well as a selection of critical texts that situate the action within its European context.Joseph Beuys performed one of his most radical pieces, the Action MANRESA, on 15 December 1966, at the Galerie Schmela in Düsseldorf. He was accompanied by Henning Christiansen and Bjørn Nørgaard. In 1994 these two Danish artists gave continuity to the original piece with the performance Manresa Hauptbahnhof (Manresa, Central Station), which was done in the very city that had given name to the earlier Beuys action. That same city was where in 1522 Saint Ignatius of Loyola had the revelations that led him to write the Spiritual Exercises, a text that wielded a powerful influence on the German artist.This book brings together for the first time all the material related to that second performance (including images, scripts and preparatory drawings), as well as a selection of critical texts that situate the action within its European context. Friedhelm Mennekes, an expert in contemporary art and a Jesuit priest, analyses the action by delving into its spiritual meaning, exploring the symbolism of the objects employed. The metaphor of the central station enables art critic Pilar Parcerisas to discover the city of reference and redraw the map of Europe, with unexpected connections between Manresa and Copenhagen. In the final essay, academic Peter van der Meijden, a specialist in the actions of these Danish artists, contextualises the two performances, which represented a meeting place for very different artistic personalities working on the cutting edge in creating a completely new kind of art.
