LOS ANGELES, CA – Through live music and short films, Intuition Festival touches on themes in The Broad’s collection exhibition, Joseph Beuys: In Defense of Nature. Over the course of two nights, the combined artist lineups delve into the impact of our collective experiences, the healing of body and mind, environmental consciousness, political activism, and social change. Connecting it all is an acknowledgment of the lasting influence of the highly experimental Krautrock or Kosmische Musik movement, which emerged in post-World War II Germany when Beuys was active as both an artist and a professor at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Intuition Festival takes its name from Beuys’s most widely distributed multiple, Intuition (1968). Empty wooden boxes with the word “Intuition” penciled inside were sold inexpensively to thousands of people, illustrating both a democratization of art and the potential for viewers to imbue such artworks with their own personal meanings. Joseph Beuys: In Defense of Nature and The Broad’s third-floor galleries are open for viewing during the events. The shows are all ages with a designated bar area on the plaza for ticketholders 21+ with valid ID.

Night 1 - March 21, 2025
On the outdoor stage, Osees—torchbearers of Krautrock pioneers such as Can, Kraftwerk, and NEU!—let loose in an energetic special set, moving between songs from their prolific oeuvre and improvisations responding to themes of the festival. East German-born artist, time-based media art professor. German artist and experimental musician Alva Noto presents a specifically tailored, rhythmically-driven set accompanied by live projected visuals
On the indoor stage, harpist Mary Lattimore and accordionist Walt McClements collaborate on a performance that stretches the limits of what their respective instruments are expected to do in a meditative, healing, and uplifting sonic experience. Barr, whose personal reinvention throughout her career echoes the shapeshifting and self-mythologizing Joseph Beuys, performs in a reinvigorated iteration of her former Kill Rock Stars label era output. Clare Major’s short documentary film, OUTCRY: Alchemists of Rage, follows activist and sexual abuse survivor Whitney Bradshaw as she photographs women mid-scream in cathartic group sessions in a journey from anger and heartbreak to triumph and joy.

On the outdoor stage, German guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Michael Rother and his band perform from his repertoire of works by Harmonia and NEU!, both of which he co-founded in the early 1970s. Shabazz Palaces simultaneously melds and abstracts jazz, hip hop, and African percussion influences while paying tribute to artists such as Can, Kraftwerk, and Tangerine Dream in a combination DJ set and live performance. Both Rother and Shabazz Palaces integrate custom-projected visuals into their sets.
On the indoor stage, local punk band Sage Against the Machine deliver a raucous set of songs paying homage to California’s native plant species. Composer, musician, and builder Money Mark demonstrates his innovation and experimentation on keyboard and self-made instruments, and queer musician Saturn Risin9 shares their journey of perseverance with a short film centering self-discovery, healing, and creative expansion through documentary, dance, visual narrative, and performance.

About The Broad
The Broad’s mission is to make contemporary art accessible to the widest possible audience. Founded in 2015 on Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles by philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad, the museum offers free general admission and presents an active program of special exhibitions and innovative live events, all within a landmark building designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro. The Broad is home to the Broad collection, one of the world’s leading collections of postwar and contemporary art, which continues to grow as new artists and artworks are added. The museum is the headquarters of The Broad Art Foundation’s worldwide lending library, which has been loaning collection works to museums around the world since 1984. To create greater public access, The Broad will break ground on a 55,000 square-foot expansion in early 2025.
