Barney and Beuys in Dialogue at Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin

The exhibition 'All in the Present Must Be Transformed: Matthew Barney, Joseph Beuys' was held at the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin from October 28, 2006, to January 12, 2007, later traveling to the Fondazione Guggenheim in Venice. The show juxtaposed works by Joseph Beuys and Matthew Barney, creating a dialogue that mixed scientific, sensitive, and formal curation. While initial expectations were high for a meeting between the two protean artists, the presentation ultimately offered a new exhibition format where the interaction between works and artists generated the discourse.
