“Children and lunatics cut the gordian knot which the poet spends his life patiently trying to untie.” Jean Cocteau
Helnwein:
"I think art always reflects the society and the time the artist lives in; it always tells you something about the condition of the culture.
This is the age of materialism and profit, accompanied by its favorite all-eating pet – the entertainment industry. Therefore in order not to sink into oblivion, in a desperate struggle to be heard and seen, many artists and curators try to compete with this multi-media-entertainment-Godzilla, trying to be just as loud and cheap and stupid. That’s why 70% to 80% of all the contemporary art in our museums is crap.
It’s true though that each time has its own aesthetic values and if you want to reach the people of today you have to develop an artistic language that they can understand. And that’s what I try to do – my audience is the great love-affair of my life. I am obsessed with my public, and all I want to do with my art is touch them and move them and to hold them tight – and sometimes I want to kick their ass. That is all I care about.
But I also listen to them and take them and their responses serious, because they and other artists are the only ones that ever taught me anything." ... +

Helnwein, Manson
Putting Holes into Happiness,
Kneel down humble men and become the height of our children. Let your heart crawl into your knee and realize that all knowledge lives through imagination. This is the nursery business, always get a photocopy. Our cultures may continue to disintegrate but we just rebuild with abusement parks, filming the process and replaying it as situation comedy. We wear ribbons, hold hands, celebrate and concentrate on camps that train our kindergartens to shout out "star-spangled" banter.
We will medicate the lunacy of "degenerate" art with heavy doses of old-fashioned (original recipe) family virtues. "Let's make sure all of these offensive forms of entertainment are shown publicly, and burned immediately as a warning to us all!"

Interview

Österreich-Gespräch.Maler Gottfried Helnwein über die Vorzüge der katholischen Vergangenheit von Österreich und den Unterhaltungswert der Politik.
"Meine Arbeit hat immer polarisiert. Ich habe immer Leute gehabt, die begeistert und fasziniert waren und ich habe immer Leute gehabt, die mich gehasst haben.
Als ich noch in Wien war und ein Kritiker, der ein Leben lang eine Menge schlechter Bilder ohne Probleme ausgehalten hat, bei mir aber wirklich ausgerastet ist, Schaum vor dem Mund hatte, und fast einen Herzinfarkt gekriegt hat, dachte ich mir: Siehst du, irgendeine Intensität muss dein Werk haben.
Bei meiner ersten Ausstellung im Wiener Künstlerhaus sind meine Bilder sogar mit Klebern überpickt worden auf denen “Entartete Kunst” stand. ... +

Wenn Sie einem Blinden Ihre Bilder beschreiben müssten – dann wie?
O mein Gott. Mit so einer Frage fangen wir an? Keine Ahnung, was ich da sagen würde. Die Frage stellt sich doch nie. Ich würde überhaupt niemandem meine Bilder erklären, weder einem Blinden noch einem Sehendem. ... +

Gottfried Helnwein : The Golden Age 1 (Marilyn Manson)
Nothing/Interscope Records
Marilyn Manson
Collaboration between Marilyn Manson and Gottfried Helnwein
"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. ... +

Gottfried Helnwein : The Golden Age  2 (Marilyn Manson)

Gottfried Helnwein : The Golden Age 11 (Marilyn Manson)
DER SPIEGEL
Interview mit Marilyn Manson
Christoph Dallach, Jörg Böckem
Der Rockmusiker Marilyn Manson, 33, über seine Schock-Kunst, kreative Selbstzensur in den USA und seine neue CD.
SPIEGEL:
Helnwein gilt wie Sie als Provokateur des Kulturbetriebes - haben sich da zwei verwandte Seelen getroffen?
Manson:
Ein Künstler, der nicht provoziert, wird unsichtbar. Kunst die keine starken Reaktionen auslöst, hat keinen Wert. Helnwein hat das verinnerlicht und entspricht damit genau dem Kern meiner Musik. Unsere Zusammenarbeit erschöpft sich nicht darin, dass ein Künstler einem Musiker ein Cover für sein Album malt. Wir schaffen zusammen Kunst, die unseren Gemütszustand wiedergibt.
SPIEGEL:
Helnwein sagt, Sie seien ähnlich einsam wie er.
Manson:
Ganz bestimmt. Es ist übrigens nicht nur schön, sondern auch befremdlich, jemanden zu finden, der tatsächlich das Gleiche liebt wie man selbst. Ich bin gewohnt für meine Ideen verurteilt zu werden - und plötzlich ist da jemand, der mich auf Anhieb versteht. Ich war nie ein geselliger Mensch. Das ist einer der Gründe, warum Leute wie ich Entertainer werden - weil sie anders nicht kommunizieren können. ... +

Volksbühne Berlin
Installation and Performance with Marilyn Manson
"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."

"The good news for Manson's fans and his accountants alike is 'The Golden Age of Grotesque' may well be his best album yet."

Gottfried Helnwein : Roter Mund (Red Mouth)
CyberZone
periodico visionario da palermo
Massimiliano Geraci

Italy

The Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein is well aware of the discomfort the public feels when confronted with images of children not represented as innocents but to whom a powerful sexual identity (and an awareness) is designated. In his work, and especially his paper drawings, he has created some of the most powerful and disturbing representations of abused childhood in history of art. We are not talking about the form of abuse commonly described in the penal code. By altering or removing the inbred pulsation that spurs us to stubbornly refuse or deny what we do not recognise, the manipulations and interferences (The Intrusion) adults perform on the social body of childhood are denounced. ... +
