During the time he was unconscious (8 days) the nomads smeared him in fat and wrapped him in felt. During the second part of his life Beuys used imagery and natural media associated with events in his past. "Art is," he said, "a genuinely human medium for revolutionary change in the sense of completing the transformation from a sick world to a healthy one." (Beuys quoted in Quartetto, exhibition catalog, Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, 1984, Milano, p. 106) A few aspects of Beuys to consider He focused on the assumption of shared experience. The most basic definition for culture that of shared experience. Beuys used his work to comment on human culture, his perspective examined a need for reconnection of culture and land. Several of his urban ecology projects, incorporated multiples. Beuys also used multiples to break the tradition of the precious object. Additionally he staged actions that incorporated an emphasis on the destruction of indigenous cultures. I like America and America likes me 1974 culture and land overcome party dictatorship now 1971 deforestation project bog action 1973 action to protect a wetland bog Beuys believed that everyone was an artist and that the most powerful tool for societal transformation. Therefore there was little separation between artistic life and private life. In the early sixties he joined Fluxus a group of international artists who opposed art as a static community. He was active politically, starting a political party that ran twice for parliament. Beuys was a professor at the Dusseldorph Academy of Art and he was dismissed from his position after allowing un- enrolled students into his class. After his dismissal he continued holding class across the street in a parking lot.
