“The Free International University for Creativity and Interdisciplinary Research” began in Joseph Beuys’ Düsseldorf studio in 1973. It was an outgrowth of his concept of “Social Sculpture,” a new form of art that included human activity to generate social change. Over the next decade Beuys replicated the FIU idea in other places, effectively transforming the teaching process into a work of art.
