Joseph Beuys

Joseph Beuys was born in 1921. Growing up he was interested in natural sciences and art. He was involved in the war and was wounded. In his later life He became apart of FLUXUS. He created performance objects, installations, sculptures and drawings that was very challenge the normal intellect. So hearing about his project "I like America and America Likes Me " was very interesting to hear that he locked himself into a room with a  wild coyote for 8 hours over 3 day.  Watching a video of the performance the coyote looked like a playful dog was expecting a vicious beast. Never the less you would never catch me in a room with one.
