| Summary: | "The exhibition Joseph Beuys: In Defense of Nature is organized by The Broad's curator Sarah Loyer with Beuys scholar Andrea Gyorody, director of the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art at Pepperdine University. It will coincide with a major reforestation initiative, Social Forest: Oaks of Tovaangar, as part of Getty's landmark arts event PST ART: Art & Science Collide. These dual projects present Beuys's work and practice as more urgent than ever before, as the planet's climate continues to warm. The exhibition will present over 400 artworks that illuminate Beuys's practice as a model for direct environmental action, drawing from the Broad's extensive holdings of the artist's work. The corresponding Social Forest initiative will echo the appeals for change seen within the exhibition, with an emphasis on the unique social and environmental context of current day Los Angeles. Undertaken in partnership with North East Trees and Tongva (Gabrielino) archaeologist Desirě Reně Martinez and artist Lazaro Arvizu Jr., the project encompasses the planting of 100 native trees, primarily coast live oaks, in Elysian Park in Los Angeles and additional plantings at Kuruvungna Village Springs in West L.A. |
