Fifty years after ’68, the sculptor and design professor Karl-EckhardCarius (b. Berlin, 1942; lives and works in Vechta) offers insight intohis wide-ranging musings, actions, and anticipatory projects. Gatheringpreviously unpublished writings, autobiographical reflections, photographs,installations, drawings, and literary notes, the book is acreative document of a time of rebellion and the dawn of a new era. Italso sheds light on an unexplored chapter in the history of Berlin’sHochschule für bildende Künste (today’s Berlin University of the Arts)with its protagonists and motivations. “The Ravishment to Paradise ofBernhard Heiliger, a Professor at the Academy—An Assault on theReality Principle” (1969) reflects the critique of the traditional andconventional education young artists received in Berlin at the time.The stories of this and other actions illustrate the defeat of a utopianvision, but they also suggest the artist’s capacity for radical experimentation.With an essay by Bazon Brock describes Carius, who now teachesdesign, as “one of the few surviving witnesses of those halcyon daysof radical happiness.”
