As early as the end of the 1950s, Beuys related the plastic to all forms of movement and developed his theory from this that creative movements are evoked from the indeterminate, the chaos, and find their form through process. In his political actions in a more direct sense, beginning with the German Student Party, Organisation for Direct Democracy and ending with the Free University, Beuys tested the plastic in discursive relationships and communal forms of organisation. The lecture traces the path to plastic democracy through a chronology of events from 1967 to 1973.
