As part of it he staged thirteen workshops over a hundred days at documenta 6, among them a Migrant Workshop, one on violence and behaviour, and one on nuclear energy and its alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Periphery Workshop took up themes Beuys summed up as Europe's peripheral regions, the enlargement of the EEC, the Franco-German axis, and shared approaches for those regions and the Mediterranean. Visitors from all over the world were invited to put their questions to him on these subjects. He answered not only in words but on dozens of blackboards, covered with drawings, diagrams and notes that stand as works in their own right. Those boards are the core of the book, which Klaus Staeck and Gerhard Steidl edited.

Two motors drove honey up a pipe 17 metres tall and round a circuit of tubes and hoses, some 173 metres in all, laid through the galleries of the Museum Fridericianum. Next to the work Beuys talked with visitors about social sculpture, direct democracy and his widened notion of art, and the piece came to stand for his conviction that art could change society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn 28 June 1977 Beuys asked Gerhard Steidl and Klaus Staeck along while he tended and serviced the pump.
