Flag

Flagging a building will almost certainly bring attention to it ;).
































Reportedly this one almost caused an accident, at least it had people slowing down their cars to have a look. Maybe they realised for the first time that this building was part of the Academy of Fine Arts in Münster.

Wishlist

I wish I had it in me ;).

Gerhard Theewen once asked us which artists we would like to forge. To me that was Barnett Newman, but then I also stated that I found myself uncapable. The thing I very deeply admire about him is his ability to not depict something but to put the spectator into a situation. There is not only something to see but it's rather like meeting somebody or going on a journey. I had the strangest sensation in front of his Prometheus Bound, somehow I was Prometheus stuck in this awful situation and still somewhere on the horizon there was this little streak of hope. The divine power was all over and yet...

Duel or Competition

As a post-script to  this. There is apparently something quite disturbing going on in some people's mind, like there should always be a last man standing and if the intellect doesn't suffice maybe sheer violence does.

Definitive and Random

Every line defines as it marks some border(line).

I do to some point understand the Surrealist idea of Automatic Drawing, it can be so scary to draw this line, and the question of its necessity remains.

Space

is where we belong

Regrets

Was he actually doing it for laughs or was he doing it for some completely different reason, when Raimund Stecker mentioned kneeling down in front of every rock out of wonder and amazement? At the time I laughed this notion away like all the others in his seminar. An attitude I've com to regret ;).

Lessons in Humour

or beware of the implications ;)





When I was five or six years old, my greatgrandfather celebrated his birthday. There were buns (Brötchen) with ham sausage (Schinkenwurst) and my greatgrandfather observed that I had a healthy appetite for them. And so he began to speak: "I can tell that you like those buns a lot. But", he continued," do you remember there being far more kittens around when you visited the last time?"  From that moment on the meat started to taste a little funny ;).
