beuys bunny

Description

Based on the Joseph Beuys performance How To Explain Pictures To A Dead Hare.

In making the beuys bunnies, I had two intentions in mind. The first was as an art educator, to simply share my interest in art history... the bunnies as information holders meant to inspire curiousity about Joseph Beuys. The second was a reconciliation of my criticism of Beuys through craft. Considering Beuys' utopian vision of the unity of art and life, democratic ideals, and the communal power of human creativity, his art and concepts remain very unattainable in their hyperintellectualism. Try explaining the dead hare performance to the average person! This is my attempt to share, promote, communicate this art and vision to others by means of crafting.

Nothing would please me more than to see a baby chew on a beuys bunny ear while perhaps whispering baby secrets on how to explain art. I consider this an integral part of performance art that comes free with your purchase of the beuys bunny! Just don't forget that adult supervision of art performance is required.

Each felt beuys bunny is handstitched and stuffed with ecosnow, an eco-friendly fiberfill. The taller ones measure 12" tall, the shorter ones 10" tall and come with a pocket for secret keeping. These are made as multiples but each one is a bit different than the last.
I also make these especially for your order, so please allow 2 days for your beuys bunny to be created.
