In 2005, Marina Abramović presented 7 Easy Pieces at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, where she meticulously restaged seven performances by different artists, each lasting seven hours. For each performance she obtained permission from the artist or the estate and compensated them for the use of their ideas. One notable piece she re-performed was How to Explain the Pictures to a Dead Hare by Joseph Beuys.

Some international artists create a series of new, site-specific, long duration performances aimed at revitalising the performative nature of the Beuys holdings at Museum Schloss Moyland. These live performances will take place during the first month of the exhibition. Later, relics, videos and photographic documentation of these performances will be exhibited.

Our public tour also offers you an exciting insight into performance art. You will learn what performance art actually is, what forms of expression it encompasses and what distinguishes it from other art forms.

Cost: €4 per person, reduced €3, museum kids €2.50, plus museum admission in each case
