Taking part in a three-day Action with Joseph Beuys in the 1980s, author Rainer Rappmann has dedicated his life to promoting and extending the work of this iconic 20th-century artist. The ideas and ideals behind Beuys’ Free International University (FIU) live on today through the internationally renowned FIU Press, founded by Rappmann. He co-founded and taught at the Free School Achberg (Waldorf School) and the Achberg Beuys Symposium. With his intimate knowledge of Beuys’ work, Rainer Rappmann is bringing to Stroud an evening of films, photos and talk around Joseph Beuys’ ideas on Social Sculpture.
