Berlin Bad Boy Artist Jonathan Meese: 'I'm the sweet boy of art!' • FRANCE 24 English

It's back-to-school time here in France, which means a whole new season of cultural gems to look out for. In this edition we're talking about some of the Paris exhibitions on show, alongside a studio guest described as the "enfant terrible" of the Berlin art scene. German painter, sculptor, performance artist and installation artist Jonathan Meese tells Eve Jackson why art should rule the world, how artists must have absolute freedom and about his love for Little Red Riding Hood. His exhibition "DOCTOR-DOC-DR.-„HIGH NOON“ IS BACK! (WONDERLAND DE LARGE)" is on at the Templon gallery in Paris until October 28.

die diktatur der kunst braucht kein genius

[@AR_U_GERMAN]

Im a painter myself, and when politics war or fear is entering your hand and your paintbrush you know the image is not true anymore. Art is also not about painting anachronisms or perhaps the primal nature some germans can resonate with as seen in the movie apocalypse now combined with rene girard.

Dieser Mann, nur dieser Mann ist die Zukunft!
Verstanden?

Nach eigener Aussage ist er das;
"Erztrommlerbaby der Zukunft" und
"Nicht der Künstler soll an die Macht sondern DIE Kunst!"

Kunst kennt keine Rassenhygiene, nur Denkhygiene.

Ja richtig, der Künstler ist nur das Vehicle der Information, daß die Kunst die Macht und Gewalt ist.

[@jihad4realniz]

Du hast Meese nicht verstanden. Er will kein Prophet sein oder vergöttert werden. Dein Kommentar stellt ihn auf ein Podest er will aber das die Kunst auf dem Podest steht. Völlig Wertefrei und Neutral die Kunst bleibt Meese vergeht er ist völlig unwichtig nur die Kunst ist wichtig

[@SkywalkerPaul]

Ja. Verstanden.

Far as we look ,,,every one else is a sharper pencil,,,than that in hand of french n english think tanks

[@AR_U_GERMAN]

Haha well better follow art then a household robot from Apple or the AI on your phone
Nice art is canceling out war. Perhaps if art ever had a purpose or something teleological it would be canceling out war.
