Bid for Love
One big bid to be loved because dealing with mine and painting’s fucked up history
the pains the pleasures the self - referential the self - deprecating the anti - aesthetic the anti - pictorial
One big bid to be loved because painting as a way of performing existence Seeing the horizon of painting after a long detour Glorifying the fucked up Stylizing the fucked up
One big bid to be loved Because Not a painter’s painter Not a thinker’s thinker Not a maker’s maker Made my self quite the untouchable Quite the invisible
Motions of the mind that go into building of worlds Weird other mental spaces Trying to find new coordinates Making ‘beautiful’ things Because I need to do better Because I am bidding on love
One big bid to be loved because debasement through birth To keep the path To play the game To be loved
One big bid to be loved like me better To make them like me better Like me at all even Annoying/flimsy/spiritually/intellectually Ignored for good reason by Those I admire and love most I will not be liked/loved For the things I do Paintings that bleed Bleeding through the violence of strangeness and inconsistency Florentine Red Mussini Florentine Red Connected to them with an umbilical cord You are my mirrors however distorted The me-and-them game The big bidding love game Let us now play the game
Lets all now bid on Lee Lozano Sinister, graphic grinning mouths, Phallic cigar clamped between teeth Cocks! Cunts! Tits! Balls! Tools! Objects! Systems! The working-non working nature of things Of your paintings Drop your tools Drop everything Drop the art world Drop the Women Let me escort you to The Exit of the love bidding arena And lets all now bid on Maria Lassnig Your fear of deadly boredom that potentially kills Luring us as you say into an impossible and unnecessary adventure of Bravado I am petrified of Boredom And those who are performers of Bravado I am sorry that the art world never took notice of your name, that it oriented itself according to the turns taken by your art Can we ever escape the problem of “making female art” ? Can we ever escape the trap of performing bravado for the pure sake of not being bored ? Can we ever bid for love without being bored ? Lets all now bid on Jutta Koether Who said No to Martin Kippenberger No to Albert Oehlen A rejection of heavy weight German painting history Yes to Antonin Artaud Yes to Nicolas Poussin Parking 300 years in to the past An escape from the contamination of contemporary references No desire to bid for love And now on to Martin Kippenberger One big bid to be loved because you’ve got to cross the black space Get through that, through the tunnel to the point where they could see the light No matter what is on stage Eating- yourself -through - the pudding As you say Theory now stands The theory is not difficult Paint what you eat Paintings most misunderstood figure Poor Old Kippenberger You really did have your cake and eat it didn’t you ? Bid for Reiner Warner Fassbinder Hard-living Frenetic Romantic Anarchist The delicate coexistence of cruelty and beauty Unsuccessful attempts to buy love from a disapproving family Abortive efforts of making friends, finding lovers The incurable compulsion of trying to buy love One big ugly man trying to be loved through his films Smack on the cover of Times magazine Ugly as fuck One big guy’s one big bid to be loved Lets all now bid on Paul Thek Let us remember Paul Thek Do we remember him ? A man cycling on his bike in Amsterdam with one of his ears painted RED From his diary notes, notes from the underground Writings about secret paintings Camp Paintings Queer Paintings The puddle painter Paintings of Puddles Are they even paintings ? In which The object is not to be seen Dwarf, Diver, Bambi, Hippo Thek, you parasite ! your Brillo Box is still my favourite Brillo Box He writes He made secrets out of what no one wanted anyway The secrets of an artist who wanted to get back up Secrets of a man that art history has long forgotten about Fragile pieces of writing/ art-making, another ‘hero’ bidding on love Lets us now play our last bidding game on Kai Althoff Paintings of dandies by the most beautiful dandy of all Characters from German history, film, philosophy Fiction- non fiction Fabrics draped Paintings thrown around the space, here and there He is the biggest love-bidding-game-players of all I learnt the bidding game from him Love me all Love my art My beloved strategic retreaters Who gets to speak and why ? Who gets to be loved ? Politicians disguised as artists Too much democracy No benchmark Too much democracy If everything is good Then nothing is any good any more No lines to cross when YOU, are Invisible I am filthy and anonymous I am filthy and anonymous Filthy and anonymous Bottomless pit of self-loathing Do it for Van Gogh Baby because this is one big bid to be loved!
One big bid to be loved because
Baby wants Blue Velvet Baby wants Blue Velvet Baby wants Blue Velvet Female suffocation.. One big bid to be loved because Sometimes you are never too Brown and you are never too White But Bluer than the Bluest of Velvet Yet still invisible This whole thing, is just one big bid to be loved 07.03.2019
