In the "Actions and Environments" panel, Mario Kramer continues to speak on Iphigenie/Titus Andronicus and its legacy.

At 21:44, David Rieff begins to speak on the artistic and intellectual reception of Beuys's work in the United States, and in particular the discomfort American critics felt towards Beuys's relationship with German romanticism, Nazism, and the Green movement.

At 36:15 Walter Dahn speaks, with Johannes Stuttgen translating to German, on the historical evolution of "social sculpture."
