22.30 All about Arnie
"Arnold ist wirklich ein netter Kerl, und ich glaube, er hat gute Absichten. Aber ich bin völlig gegen das, was er machen will..."
- Schwarzeneggers Kollege George Clooney war mit seiner Skepsis nicht allein... Stars wie Barbara Streisand, Warren Beatty oder Jack Nickolson hatten noch kurz vor der Wahl aufgerufen, Gray Davis nicht abzuwählen. Wie die Kalifornier sich entschieden haben, ist bekannt, der Quereinstieg in die US-Politik hat weltweit sowohl Bewunderung als auch Kritik ausgelöst.
Durchaus positiv sieht der seit Jahren in Los Angeles lebende österreichische Maler Gottfried Helnwein die Entwicklung. Die radikalste Kritik kam von der amerikanischen Intellektuellen Susan Sontag, die gestern in Frankfurt den "Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels" bekam und sogar den Vergleich mit Silvio Berlusconi herstellte.

Quest'artista austriaco è famoso per diverse collaborazioni illustri che solo il pensiero di elencarle...no no....è una follia!!! (in realtà ho sonno e non ho la minima voglia....he he he!) Vi cito solo Marilyn Manson per Golden Age of Grotesque e Rammstein per Sehnsucht per quanto riguarda la musica, direttore fotografico e costumista teatrale affermato e in alcuni famosissimi film tra cui un Pasolini e altri grandi del cinema e del teatro tedesco e mondiale.
Ma non sono di certo le sue più grandi opere...vi basti pensare le sue innumerevoli gallerie ritrattistiche e il museo a lui dedicato.... Ovviamente un arte ricercata e "orrida" che colpisce lo spettatore nel profondo, lo trapana e lo sconvolge. In qualcosa potremme travisare i tratti di Giger (nei dipinti su tela magari..) ma è senza dubbio nella fotografia la parte più innovativa e interessante dell'eclettico maestro... Un pò come la Sigismondi..i richiami sembrano moltiplicarsi man mano che si guardano le sue opere...sono artisti affini e dai tratti e dalla sensibilità intrecciate fra loro. ...

something about me...hm...ok, First of all I am 18 years old and I'm from Germany. I finished school some weeks ago and I'm going to study in autum. I love good Vampire movies like Nosferatu, Shadow of the Vampire and other Horrormovies. My favourite artists are Royo, Helnwein and Manson...and I like realy like E.A Poes stuff... ...

Next: At least you was kind enough to make me laugh... Untermenschen...hmmm... I don’t know why but it reminds me of some Helnwein’s photographs. I love his works. And you?

Integendeel. Zijn foto's en schilderijen schokken en worden soms zelfs smakeloos genoemd.
Maar de esthetiek mag zich niet in een conventioneel kader laten drukken. Daarin groeit het niet. Daarin moet het zichzelf uiteindelijk onderwerpen aan cliché-vorming.
Helnwein is misschien wel een nieuwe hoop. Oordeel zelf maar. ...

One-man show ...

The bizarre and squirm-inducing self-representations of Austrian conceptual artist Gottfried Helnwein - the guy who likes to puncture his cheeks with surgical instruments - are so disturbing that municipal councils have sought to ban his work.
But these are depictions of pain that make sense, given the intellectual and moral framework of Helnwein's personal and political past.
The odd bureaucrat might question his motivations, only to be instantly shouted down by a chorus of art critics and intellectuals who can think of thousands of cogent, intelligent reasons why Helnwein's work matters. Still, the few members of the bod-mod community who actually talked to me took the moral high ground.
Logic alone indicates that one person's Pamela Anderson is someone else's Lizard Man (Eric Sprague, a man who has, over the last few years, obsessively pursued his desire to become a human lizard via tattoos, teeth-filing, etc.)
