"10-Punkte-Programm der Diktatur der Kunst"

0:00:14.616,0:00:18.578
The goal is clear: The goal is the dictatorship of art.

0:00:18.578,0:00:21.324
The goal is that art rules the world.

0:00:21.324,0:00:26.183
[howling]

0:00:26.183,0:00:31.042
"Gehorcht einfach der Kunst! Gehorcht! Gehorcht!"

0:00:31.042,0:00:32.441
Art is the strongest.

0:00:32.441,0:00:36.840
Art is number 1, art is the chief, art is the "Bundeskanzler", art is the "Führer",

0:00:36.840,0:00:43.284
art is the king, art is the religion, [br]art is that, art is that, art, art, art, always!

0:00:43.284,0:00:48.009
And I hate these art students nowadays, [br]who only want so small things,

0:00:48.009,0:00:50.346
who want a comfortable life,

0:00:50.346,0:00:54.837
and I mean, I'm 41 now, ja?, and I behave like a 12 year old

0:00:54.837,0:01:03.255
but these people, who are 25, 35 now, they behave like they were never born!

0:01:04.609,0:01:10.329
"Happa, happa, happa - Hoah, hoah, hoah"

0:01:10.329,0:01:14.575
If everywhere is art, then it would disappear

0:01:14.575,0:01:19.037
Ja, and then everything would calm down,[br]and we would have a new start,

0:01:19.037,0:01:23.929
"ein Neustart", we would have a new zero-point into our existence

0:01:23.929,0:01:25.714
and something new would come up.

0:01:25.714,0:01:29.765
It means, we need something totally new to happen.

0:01:29.765,0:01:36.866
And that art rules the world means not[br]that everybody is painting [br]or everybody is doing literature.

0:01:36.866,0:01:41.988
It means that everybody is doing what he is doing with total passion

0:01:41.988,0:01:45.201
and not being instrumentalized, not being used,

0:01:45.201,0:01:48.674
not being into a "Sekte" or something,

0:01:48.674,0:01:53.224
that everything has a new wind in it,

0:01:53.224,0:01:59.370
that we just say: "Stop it now. Stop with this shit that is happening on this world!

0:01:59.370,0:02:07.688
Stop! Stop! Stop! [br]Stop, politicians, resign all, all, please, all!"

0:02:07.688,0:02:17.105
Now, today one politician resigned in this country.[br]Ja? Oh, oh, please all others do it, too!

0:02:17.105,0:02:21.245
Chancelor Merkel, please, resign, it's time! Ja?

0:02:21.245,0:02:25.346
Please, all kings and queens, sorry to say, resign!

0:02:25.346,0:02:27.326
Play it! You can play king.

0:02:27.326,0:02:30.077
But it doesn't mean anything any more.

0:02:30.077,0:02:43.040
[laughter, howling]

0:02:43.040,0:02:46.617
[squeaking]

0:02:46.617,0:02:48.527
"Happa, happa machen"

0:02:48.542,0:02:54.043
We need "eine versachlichte Führung", [br]we need a new start for the whole world.

0:02:54.043,0:02:58.223
Now it's time. [br]Also the collapse that is happening all over.

0:02:58.223,0:03:00.371
I am not an idiot, I see this.

0:03:00.371,0:03:03.926
And I always think: "Wow, now something happens!"

0:03:03.926,0:03:08.687
But we should never think that we need [br]revolutionary people.

0:03:08.687,0:03:11.226
We don't need soldiers on the street.

0:03:11.226,0:03:14.257
The soldiers come from the stage.

0:03:14.257,0:03:16.937
It's a totally other direction.

0:03:16.937,0:03:24.223
And Adolf Hitler is a crucial point, because there it was totally clear for everybody in this world:

0:03:24.223,0:03:27.535
Humans should never have ideological power!

0:03:27.535,0:03:30.442
There the game was ending in fact.

0:03:30.442,0:03:32.730
But no, they start it again!

0:03:32.730,0:03:39.628
We produce dictators like, uh, like bonbons.

0:03:39.628,0:03:41.091
And why?

0:03:41.091,0:03:43.618
Why are there so many small Hitlers in the world?

0:03:43.618,0:03:45.057
Why?

0:03:45.057,0:03:50.720
Wh.. After this guy, now for me now every politician is a small Hitler, sorry.

0:03:50.720,0:03:51.782
And I don't want this.

0:03:51.782,0:03:55.264
I'm not interested in this nostalgic idea.

0:03:55.264,0:04:02.133
Ja, 1945 Hitler was just taken apart into small "Oblates", small peaces,

0:04:02.133,0:04:04.408
and everybody [chop, chop].

0:04:04.408,0:04:08.209
"Jeder ist ein eigener Führer, jeder ist sein eigener Gott, jeder ist sein eigener Chef."

0:04:08.209,0:04:13.135
Everybody is his own leader, everybody is his own chief, everybody is his own god.

0:04:13.135,0:04:14.567
This is not the concept.

0:04:14.567,0:04:18.570
"Selbstverwirklichung", self-fulfillment, is not ok.

0:04:18.570,0:04:29.507
[purr]

0:04:29.507,0:04:35.246
If you would take this picture and put it into a machine,

0:04:35.246,0:04:38.864
there would be no feeling of we inside.

0:04:38.864,0:04:46.005
We should ask: This golden colour, why it's done like this and what it means?

0:04:46.005,0:04:48.289
But maybe we get an answer, maybe not.

0:04:48.289,0:04:52.873
But then we come closer to this[br]or stay in the same distance.

0:04:52.873,0:04:55.911
Art is no spiritual.

0:04:55.911,0:04:58.429
We don't need spiritual human leaders.

0:04:58.429,0:05:06.833
Uh, this is a very concrete totally pragmatic thing:[br]paint on canvas.

0:05:06.833,0:05:11.558
This canvas would have filled itself, even without me.

0:05:11.882,0:05:14.006
Ja? It doesn't matter that I did it.

0:05:14.006,0:05:15.139
It's not important.

0:05:15.139,0:05:19.410
That I did it, is ok.[br]But it is not important to evaluate art.

0:05:19.410,0:05:23.205
Ja? This painting is a game on its own.

0:05:23.205,0:05:29.234
We can write, I wrote "Jonathan Meese 2011",[br]it's not important.

0:05:29.234,0:05:32.518
Ja? I'm just a servant.

0:05:35.411,0:05:44.702
"Lieber Wolf, du musst in der Kunst nur eins machen!"

0:05:44.702,0:05:50.017
And all these things, Saint Just, Robespierre, Marat, Colour, Number 5, Adolf Hitler,

0:05:50.017,0:05:52.602
everything is a toy of art.

0:05:52.602,0:05:54.619
That's why you can use it.

0:05:54.619,0:05:59.777
This is all a game, it has to be a game. Sorry.

0:05:59.777,0:06:04.410
To play is the most radical thing you can do in this world.

0:06:04.410,0:06:07.792
To really kill somebody is not radical.

0:06:07.792,0:06:14.183
Ja, to really hurt somebody, that is so shamefully easy and nothing special

0:06:14.183,0:06:21.166
and it has nothng to do with reality, er, with radicalism. That is reality fanatism.

0:06:21.166,0:06:29.221
And to really play it through:[br]This is what I have to do till I die.

0:06:29.221,0:06:34.700
"Lieber Wolf, du musst nur eins machen in der Kunst!"

0:06:34.700,0:06:36.969
"Gehorche einfach!"

0:06:36.969,0:06:40.597
"Lieber Wolf!"

0:06:40.597,0:06:46.462
The people always on the door outside, they always come in and say to me: Don't play anymore!

0:06:46.462,0:06:50.358
You're not allowed to play.[br]This is too far. You go too far.

0:06:50.358,0:06:52.348
In art you can never go to far.

0:06:52.348,0:06:54.781
In art you have to go too far.

0:06:54.781,0:06:55.784
That is the rule.

0:06:55.784,0:06:59.504
If you are not willing to go too far,[br]then you should stop

0:06:59.504,0:07:04.048
Then you are a cultural "Funktionärs" situation.

0:07:04.048,0:07:09.007
[khhhh]

0:07:09.007,0:07:15.185
We have to make sure that nothing bad is happenning ideogically in the future.

0:07:15.185,0:07:18.183
And that can only do art.

0:07:18.183,0:07:24.953
We cannot counter or be against reality by reality.

0:07:24.953,0:07:30.873
If we use reality to fight reality,[br]we will end up in reality,

0:07:30.873,0:07:33.755
in the bad reality that we fought against.

0:07:33.755,0:07:41.845
As an artist you should only want[br]art to rule the world

0:07:41.845,0:07:45.532
or you as an artist should go home.

0:07:45.881,0:07:51.250
