Daniele Formica

in dialogue with Joseph Beuys

15 March–6 September 2026

This research-based exhibition brings the contemporary performative artistic practice of Italian-Dutch artist Daniele Formica (born 1996, Perugia) into dialogue with the historical position of the internationally successful German artist Joseph Beuys (born 1921, Krefeld, died 1986, Düsseldorf), who died in 1986. 

The Museum Schloss Moyland has invited Daniele Formica to approach the Joseph Beuys Archive and the extensive collection from his own artistic perspective, using relevant search terms and themes, during numerous stays on site. For the exhibition, Formica has produced new site-specific artworks, including text-based works, a video performance, a large-format ready-made, and a performance installation that responds to Joseph Beuys' action Siberian Symphony (1963). An accompanying catalogue will reflect the dialogical form of the exhibition.

Co-curated by Daniele Formica and Antje-Britt Mählmann
