Der Weidenmann Runenmensch Nahrung, der Sonnentanz des Weidenmannstaates. Erzisis der Stelennahrung.
Jonathan Meese
26 March–23 May 1999
As an artist of a younger generation, Jonathan Meese grew up with the promise of availability to any information through the mediatization of our world. A self-evident and postmodern approach to the set pieces of our culture belongs to his generation just as much as a broken-unbroken interest in using staging to create spaces in which liabilities for the future are developed and questioned in different ways. His complex exhibition at Kunsthalle essentially revolves around the themes of cult, military, war, power and violence. The images, texts, sentence fragments, the words and concepts, the ambivalently charged objects and things that Jonathan Meese condenses into material-overloaded spaces are not encountered without emotion: His spaces demand a lot from the visitors and create a fragmented image of a utopia that is always breaking down anew.
Jonathan Meese (*1970 Tokyo/JPN) lives and works in Ahrensburg and Berlin.
