not to be confused with...

i like america, and america likes me. the 1974 performance piece by joseph beuys. mr. beuys, german, flew to new york city and was transported via ambulance to a performance space in the rené block gallery. there he spent 8 hours, over three days, in a room with a gray felt blanket, and a coyote. for all intents and purposes, mr beuyes never stepped foot in america as he never saw anything other than the airport, and the interior of the gallery. footage of his arrival in nyc is at the beginning of we like america, and america likes us.

thanks emily!
