...'being engaged in the complete radical change of the social
structure, one needs in fact a kind of very highly developed philosophy
and ways of production in the field of art-.... therefore a
psychological problem, a kind of consciousness problem; a problem of the
thought…., that everything has to start with the thought,…And so this
interdependency of thinking powers, speaking powers, molding powers,
until it reaches the impact on the condition of the capital, the money,
that is, I think, a very gigantic work. And that is what I call the
social sculpture"…. (1980: Joesph Beuys in Conversation with Louwrien
Wijers).
...'Joseph Beuys proposed that our Imagination is our Real Capital in
the Global Economy, if this is so , then we do have an Ability to
Respond'.... (Shelley Sacks: Oxford 2006)
INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE
Real Work is a Social Sculpture Process calling Our Economy into the Field of Transformation.
In the Real Work Space we think together to discover our sensibility of Imaginations' relationship to Economy.
We use our Artist abilities as a method for cultivating the potential for a Humane Economy.
What is the Real Work that can be cultivated now to shape a humane economy for future generations?
The intention with this invitation is to activate this potential you feel from this question, by working more deeply with it from our Artist Abilities.
If you would like to work with this question then contact me via email.

This process is inspired by Professor Shelley Sacks Connective Practice Approach to Social Sculpture.
