    What? there is no place called Palestine. look at the map. It is Israel. Now, I really suggest you go to Gaza yourself, see how they treat you, as a gay man, you will be in great danger of physical harm, mabe death. You waste your creativity on a culture that strive to annihilate you.

    I don’t see anyone as less of an artist just because they outsource the physical labor/creation of the work. However I do wonder if they find as much joy in the process as they did when it was just them in their studio experimenting and toiling away alone.

    To be a 'capitalist artist' producing installations for the capitalist entrepreneurial class, is to become another capitalist entrepreneur yourself ... or worse, just their own private clown. Show everyday, normal working people your 'work'. See their amusement, as you explain it needs to sit in a gallery space, in order for them to understand it as 'a work of art' ... made by an adult.

    PS- and that is to say nothing of the experience of in my very personal opinion, having a world renown 'influential' associate of the staedelschule, while i was a 'student / student employee' there for 4 years, while doing everything i could to manage a painful permanent physical condition and non negotiable much needed ongoing physical disciplined physical therapy, minimal carefully independently paced lifestyle, etc, feel it was their place to 'diagnose' (as a completely unqualified uncertified untrained practitioner) a psychological condition including 'autism' and 'clinical depression' and 'bipolar disorder', and 'suggest' prescribed medication, as well as intervene in the personal marital relationship, family, and other personal matters of an adult 42 year old (that obviously would effect whether or not i was available to work as an 'employee or apprentice', while he himself undergoing what was in my personal opinion, a very serious chemical / alcohol dependency crisis (much of the reason why i declined working for any associates studios for any reason), while what seemed or to be or in my personal opinion a serious mental / physical state that might have very well benefitted from serious psychological / medical treatment, while lying to even oneself, as well as 'loved ones' about binges, unhinged consecutive day intoxication, etc. all of which in my personal opinion was knowingly covered up, enabled, ignored, or protected by the 'netzwerk' that seemingly in my opinion loves the unraveling of their artists as part of the entertainment sh*t show circus, nor to say nothing of the what was VERY MUCH IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, a princess nazi kraut joy division psycho trauma style narcissistic abuse, temptation, manipulation to try to influence, control, obstruct, my life in any such irresponsible / non committed / unaccountable way as personal, professional, academic, or otherwise. that, for sure and without question, has me feeling a personal opinion of absolute knowing, especially in a leveraged circumstance of being a visa dependent student / graduate / person in a foreign country where i did not even speak the language fluently.

    My name is Alan B Richmond Jr (formerly Brock-Richmond) as a former student of the staedelschule who was there at the same time as anna was there, let me just say that i honestly could not care less and the only reason why i am even writing this comment is because this post appeared on my youtube stream, and i find the whole anne imhof situation almost laughable, if not sad. laughable, because in my personal opinion its the same old german deliberately awkward kippenberger style self absorbed post modernism that the germans are seemingly notorious for, especially post world war 2, and sad because it is my personal opinion that the schizophrenic psychotic characterization that the 'art world' loves from its 'darlings', as well as the in my personal opinion completely unhealthy lifestyle, smoking, excessive alcohol, intoxicants, etc, as well as simply the sort of public disorientation of its artists, is something that the art world expects, if not creates / manifests, so that the 'normal' mild mannered 'responsible' regular job holding public can vicariously live the craziness via exhibitions and 'works' from such artists. i do not wish anne ill will, but it is my first person experience of 4 years in frankfurt germany at the staedelschule, and all its 'associates', that the environment is not one of health, fitness, wellness, care, nor stability, which is exactly why i chose NOT to work in a studio of a schule 'associate', even if it in my personal opinion meant ruthless vindictive backlashing, discontinued support from the 'netzwerk', and a ticket back to the USA (where since 2014 or so, i have strangely been harassed, stalked, assaulted, violated in nearly every aspect of personal life and 'privacy', etc, often times with the schule or its associates or professors or the artwork associated with my studies there, are directly mentioned or referenced, including during aforementioned stress, abuse, harassment, etc. also, it is my personal opinion that the lifestyle and its associated aspects, ages people prematurely, physically, mentally, spiritually, and even creatively, until many, unless invested in so heavily that they can basically do no wrong nor fall very far, because the investors would not allow for such financial losses and detriment to their 'stocks'. Otherwise,in my personal opinion, the unhinged unraveling of ones life in the public eye is part of the sh*t show circus and entertainment. one very telling indicator for me was when i first arrived at the staedelschule with a severe medical condition and preceded by years of costly, painful, arduous, disciplined, continues procedures, treatments, therapy, and careful routines, was the amount of smokers at the staedelschule, and i even laughed with 'friends and family' while complaining / noting that in class or during critiques, which included well known professors ashing accidentally but careless onto students paperworks from their lit cigarettes, was the obvious blatant mimicry of many students pulling out their cigarettes and lighting them as soon as the professor did, with 'marching band' type cadence, and without missing a beat. it was hilarious to me, until i finally started lighting cloves oe cigarettes as well because the sour stench and taste of unavoidable clouds of second hand smoke was unbearable compared to the first person taste (especially clove Indonesian cigarettes, which helped 'mask' the smell somewhat, and smell of joining the poisoning act. anyway, thats all my opinion, which means nothing because i am OUT of the loop and netzwerk, and as the second oldest student there at the time of study 'and the continuous work, research, inquiry, and development that was in my opinion 'influencing' if not blatantly copied by or stolen by various associates there, i was obviously way too old to even be considered for anything beyond assistant or influential association / involvement, partially compensated if and when not leveraged and coerced, to any myriad number of schule associates / affiliates of any kind and at any level, somewhat how a whore is expected to service whomever the pimp / john / client, wants serviced, in my very personal opinion :)

    I wanna hear from Henry now. Does he have a last name? What does she actually give him- besides the ones that are pictures that she found, like the mannequin ones, the spaghettios, and the Alex Katz one from found adverts? In those cases (all of them?), for her to then say the only influence Henry had on the art was choosing the material it was painted on is dishonest. I DO like her statement at the end that we are artists and we can do whatever the fuck we want. That's true and yes there is an art to deciding what is to be painted- like a DJ, but lets also be confident enough to not claim we're doing more than we are.
