Lukas Beckmann, co-founder of the German Greens party, the artist Johannes Stüttgen and Claudine Nierth, chair of Mehr Demokratie e.V. discuss Joseph Beuys’s attempt to make his theory of social sculpture the basis of a new realpolitik: from his founding of the German Student Party to his nonpartisan candidacy for the Aktionsgemeinschaft Unabhängiger Deutscher, a party associated with both right-wing nationalist and ecological goals, to his involvement and ultimate failure to achieve his goals with the Greens.
