Продырявьте счастье,
Преклонитесь покорные мужья и сравняйтесь ростом с нашими детьми. Позвольте вашим сердцам заползти в коленные чашечки и осознать, что лишь воображение может оживить полноту знания. В инкубаторском бизнесе всегда берите фотокопию. Пусть наши культуры разложутся, мы их восстановим в парках развлечения-растлевания, засняв процесс на пленку и затем просмотрев её как комедию. Мы носим ленточки, держимся за руки, празднуем и собираемся в лагерях, которые тренеруют детишек выкрикивать «звездно-полосатые» восклицания. Мы вылечим бешенство «дегенеративного» искусства повышенными дозами старомодных (исконный рецепт) семейных ценностей. «Давайте устроим публичный показ всех оскорбительных форм развлечения и затем сразу же сожжем их, как предупреждение всем нам!» ...

Auf der Suche nach dem Individuum: Der diesjährige Stuttgarter Fotosommer präsentiert Portraitfotografie aus der DG- Bank ...

"This album is about expression. The imagination and personality of the individual cannot be trapped by small minds or defined by any one person. The genious of arts finds sanctuary among children and madmen to survive. That is who we are."
Marilyn Manson has collaborated with Gottfried helnwein for the album's artwork which is part of a greater series that will be published in a book and exhibited in museums across the world. ...

"High above Marlene Dietrich Blvd. in the city of Berlin, the sun smoldered below the concrete gutter sky like a cigarette burn in a stained bedsheet. We set forth to the Dome of Berlin at dusk and I felt like I was in my own painting, "The Death of Art." Helnwein and I created a living installation with two disabled nude women as families stopped their picnics to stare. Of course we documented this for future viewing. But it didn't begin there...
"Determined, I headed for the birthplace of Expressionism, humming "The Alabama Song," by Kurt Weill. It was time for The Grotesk Burlesk and dozens of mice scurried from the Kinderfeld. Their political organs had to be removed and we set them in formation, creating a metaphorical "question mark."

Helnwein
by Mic Moroney
...This unease with, and yet celebration of German-language cutlure continues to inform Helnwein's work, not least in this large piece, "The Silent Glow of the Avant Garde"
Helnwein's painting - both cheekily and totally in homage - appropriates the great paintings, "The Polar Sea" (1824) by the leading German Romantic landscape artist Casper David Friedrich. Helnwein here re-renders the painting in a gloomy, cinematic blue-black duochrome, and hugely magnifies it from its original scale (about 1 metre by 1 metre 30), although the foundered ship still seems dwarfed and pulverised by the splintering ice sheets. It remains a fine example of that particularly Germanic celebration of heroic humanity dashing itself against the majestic cruelty of nature.
Helnwein, in his wry title and borrowing of the image, is suggesting an uncomfortable paradigm behind Friedrich's painting - a perpetual sense of momentous revolution within nature, raw humanity and indeed artistic culture. These ideas pervaded Friedrich's work, as well as that of composer Richard Wagner and philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche - all of whose works were later so mistakenly absorbed into the "superhuman" aesthetic of Nazi ideaology and doctrine... ...
