Starting from Language reframes Joseph Beuys through speech, silence, sound, writing and conceptual discussion. Rather than treating language as supplementary explanation, the catalogue presents it as a plastic material equal to sculpture, drawing and installation. Beuys’s iconic proposition is that social transformation begins with communicative form: concepts, debates, legends and pedagogical encounters can reorganise collective reality. The thematic structure—silence, sounds, concepts, writing, mystery, legends and speech—demonstrates that language operates across registers from bodily utterance to political proposition. Methodologically, the project assembles artworks, films, posters and documents to show that Beuys’s practice cannot be reduced to objects alone. Its wider bridge is to social sculpture, performance and radical education. Language becomes infrastructural because it coordinates participation, distributes agency and permits individuals to enter the work as co-producers. The catalogue’s contribution is to make communicative process visible as artistic matter and institutional technology.
