Berlin-based artist Brigitte Waldach (born 1966, Berlin) is known for her large-format, detailed drawings featuring written and figurative motifs, as well as for her expansive installations. Her oeuvre contains numerous references to music, language, politics, philosophy and the history of Germany and Europe. In autumn 2026, Museum Schloss Moyland invites her to engage in research-based exchange with the iconic work of Joseph Beuys, of which Museum Schloss Moyland holds around 6,000 artworks and a comprehensive archive. Like Beuys, Waldach develops artistic theory and practice in parallel in her conceptual fusion of drawing, language and thought.

The series of artists in dialogue with Joseph Beuys finds continuity and further development in this. Unlike previous variations of this format, Waldach, like Beuys, represents an increased interest in the medium of drawing. In this way, Beuys' delicate early drawings are given new reflection from the perspective of the contemporary artist. As with earlier exhibitions in this series, new works are commissioned and produced.
