[Music]

2
00:00:10,055 --> 00:00:14,616
"10-Punkte-Programm der Diktatur der Kunst"

3
00:00:14,616 --> 00:00:18,578
The goal is clear: The goal is the dictatorship of art.

4
00:00:18,578 --> 00:00:21,324
The goal is that art rules the world.

5
00:00:21,324 --> 00:00:26,183
[howling]

6
00:00:26,183 --> 00:00:31,042
"Gehorcht einfach der Kunst! Gehorcht! Gehorcht!"

7
00:00:31,042 --> 00:00:32,441
Art is the strongest.

8
00:00:32,441 --> 00:00:36,840
Art is number 1, art is the chief, art is the "Bundeskantzler", art is the "Führer",

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:43,284
art is the king, art is the religion, 
art is that, art is that, art, art, art, always!

10
00:00:43,284 --> 00:00:48,009
And I hate these art students nowadays, 
who only want so small things,

11
00:00:48,009 --> 00:00:50,346
who want a comfortable life,

12
00:00:50,346 --> 00:00:54,837
and I mean, I'm 41 now, ja?, and I behave like a 12 year old

13
00:00:54,837 --> 00:01:03,255
but these people, who are 25, 35 now, they behave like they were never born!

14
00:01:04,609 --> 00:01:10,329
"Happa, happa, happa - Hoah, hoah, hoah"

15
00:01:10,329 --> 00:01:14,575
If everywhere is art, then it would disappear

16
00:01:14,575 --> 00:01:19,037
Ja, and then everything would calm down,
and we would have a new start,

17
00:01:19,037 --> 00:01:23,929
"ein Neustart", we would have a new zero-point into our existence

18
00:01:23,929 --> 00:01:25,714
and something new would come up.

19
00:01:25,714 --> 00:01:29,765
It means, we need something totally new to happen.

20
00:01:29,765 --> 00:01:36,866
And that art rules the world means not
that everybody is painting 
or everybody is doing literature.

21
00:01:36,866 --> 00:01:41,988
It means that everybody is doing what he is doing with total passion

22
00:01:41,988 --> 00:01:45,201
and not being instrumentalized, not being used,

23
00:01:45,201 --> 00:01:48,674
not being into a "Sekte" or something,

24
00:01:48,674 --> 00:01:53,224
that everything has a new wind in it,

25
00:01:53,224 --> 00:01:59,370
that we just say: "Stop it now. Stop with this shit that is happening on this world!

26
00:01:59,370 --> 00:02:07,688
Stop! Stop! Stop! 
Stop, politicians, resign all, all, please, all!"

27
00:02:07,688 --> 00:02:17,105
Now, today one politician resigned in this country.
Ja? Oh, oh, please all others do it, too!

28
00:02:17,105 --> 00:02:21,245
Chancelor Merkel, please, resign, it's time! Ja?

29
00:02:21,245 --> 00:02:25,346
Please, all kings and queens, sorry to say, resign!

30
00:02:25,346 --> 00:02:27,326
Play it! You can play king.

31
00:02:27,326 --> 00:02:30,077
But it doesn't mean anything any more.

32
00:02:30,077 --> 00:02:43,040
[laughter, howling]

33
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,617
[squeaking]

34
00:02:46,617 --> 00:02:48,527
"Happa, happa machen"

35
00:02:48,542 --> 00:02:54,043
We need "eine versachlichte Führung", 
we need a new start for the whole world.

36
00:02:54,043 --> 00:02:58,223
Now it's time. 
Also the collapse that is happening all over.

37
00:02:58,223 --> 00:03:00,371
I am not an idiot, I see this.

38
00:03:00,371 --> 00:03:03,926
And I always think: "Wow, now something happens!"

39
00:03:03,926 --> 00:03:08,687
But we should never think that we need 
revolutionary people.

40
00:03:08,687 --> 00:03:11,226
We don't need soldiers on the street.

41
00:03:11,226 --> 00:03:14,257
The soldiers come from the stage.

42
00:03:14,257 --> 00:03:16,937
It's a totally other direction.

43
00:03:16,937 --> 00:03:24,223
And Adolf Hitler is a crucial point, because there it was totally clear for everybody in this world:

44
00:03:24,223 --> 00:03:27,535
Humans should never have ideological power!

45
00:03:27,535 --> 00:03:30,442
There the game was ending in fact.

46
00:03:30,442 --> 00:03:32,730
But no, they start it again!

47
00:03:32,730 --> 00:03:39,628
We produce dictators like, uh, like bonbons.

48
00:03:39,628 --> 00:03:41,091
And why?

49
00:03:41,091 --> 00:03:43,618
Why are ther so many small Hitlers in the world?

50
00:03:43,618 --> 00:03:45,057
Why?

51
00:03:45,057 --> 00:03:50,720
Wh.. After this guy, now for me now every politician is a small Hitler, sorry.

52
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,782
And I don't want this.

53
00:03:51,782 --> 00:03:55,264
I'm not interested in this nostalgic idea.

54
00:03:55,264 --> 00:04:02,133
Ja, 1945 Hitler was just taken apart into small "Oblates", small peaces,

55
00:04:02,133 --> 00:04:04,408
and everybody [chop, chop].

56
00:04:04,408 --> 00:04:08,209
"Jeder ist ein eigener Führer, jeder ist sein eigener Gott, jeder ist sein eigener Chef."

57
00:04:08,209 --> 00:04:13,135
Everybody is his own leader, everybody is his own chief, everybody is his own god.

58
00:04:13,135 --> 00:04:14,567
This is not the concept.

59
00:04:14,567 --> 00:04:18,570
"Selbstverwirklichung", self-fulfillment, is not ok.

60
00:04:18,570 --> 00:04:29,507
[purr]

61
00:04:29,507 --> 00:04:35,246
If you would take this picture and put it into a machine,

62
00:04:35,246 --> 00:04:38,864
there would be no feeling of we inside.

63
00:04:38,864 --> 00:04:46,005
We should ask: This golden colour, why it's done like this and what it means?

64
00:04:46,005 --> 00:04:48,289
But maybe we get an answer, maybe not.

65
00:04:48,289 --> 00:04:52,873
But then we come closer to this
or stay in the same distance.

66
00:04:52,873 --> 00:04:55,911
Art is no spiritual.

67
00:04:55,911 --> 00:04:58,429
We don't need spiritual human leaders.

68
00:04:58,429 --> 00:05:06,833
Uh, this is a very concrete totally pragmatic thing:
paint on canvas.

69
00:05:06,833 --> 00:05:11,558
This canvas would have filled itself, even without me.

70
00:05:11,882 --> 00:05:14,006
Ja? It doesn't matter that I did it.

71
00:05:14,006 --> 00:05:15,139
It's not important.

72
00:05:15,139 --> 00:05:19,410
That I did it, is ok.
But it is not important to evaluate art.

73
00:05:19,410 --> 00:05:23,205
Ja? This painting is a game on its own.

74
00:05:23,205 --> 00:05:29,234
We can write, I wrote "Jonathan Meese 2011",
it's not important.

75
00:05:29,234 --> 00:05:32,518
Ja? I'm just a servant.

76
00:05:35,411 --> 00:05:44,702
"Lieber Wolf, du musst in der Kunst nur eins machen!"

77
00:05:44,702 --> 00:05:50,017
And all these things, Saint Juste, Robespierre, Marat, Number 5, Adolf Hitler,

78
00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:52,602
everything is a toy of art.

79
00:05:52,602 --> 00:05:54,619
That's why you can use it.

80
00:05:54,619 --> 00:05:59,777
This is all a game, it has to be a game. Sorry.

81
00:05:59,777 --> 00:06:04,410
To play is the most radical thing you can do in this world.

82
00:06:04,410 --> 00:06:07,792
To really kill somebody is not radical.

83
00:06:07,792 --> 00:06:14,183
Ja, to really hurt somebody, that is so shamefully easy and nothing special

84
00:06:14,183 --> 00:06:21,166
and it has nothng to do with reality, er, with radicalism. That is reality fanatism.

85
00:06:21,166 --> 00:06:29,221
And to really play it through: This is what I have to do till I die.

86
00:06:29,221 --> 00:06:34,700
"Lieber Wolf, du musst nur eins machen in der Kunst!"

87
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:36,969
"Gehorche einfach!"

88
00:06:36,969 --> 00:06:40,597
"Lieber Wolf!"

89
00:06:40,597 --> 00:06:46,462
The people always on the door outside, they always come in and say to me: Don't play anymore!

90
00:06:46,462 --> 00:06:50,358
You're not allowed to play. This is too far. You go too far.

91
00:06:50,358 --> 00:06:52,348
In art you can never go to far.

92
00:06:52,348 --> 00:06:54,781
In art you have to go too far.

93
00:06:54,781 --> 00:06:55,784
That is the rule.

94
00:06:55,784 --> 00:06:59,504
If you are not willing to go too far, then you should stop

95
00:06:59,504 --> 00:07:04,048
Then you are a cultural "Funktionärs" situation.

96
00:07:04,048 --> 00:07:09,007
[khhhh]

97
00:07:09,007 --> 00:07:15,185
We have to make sure that nothing bad is happenning ideogically in the future.

98
00:07:15,185 --> 00:07:18,183
And that can only do art.

99
00:07:18,183 --> 00:07:24,953
We cannot counter or be against reality by reality.

100
00:07:24,953 --> 00:07:30,873
If we use reality to fight reality, we will end up in reality,

101
00:07:30,873 --> 00:07:33,755
in the bad reality that we fought against.

102
00:07:33,755 --> 00:07:41,845
As an artist you should only want art to rule the world

103
00:07:41,845 --> 00:07:45,532
or you as an artist should go home.

104
00:07:45,881 --> 00:07:51,250
