Artist Statement:
Hello All
Writing an artist's statement
must be the toughest part of
this job. So, here goes my
spurious attempt:
There isn't a big mystery
about my work: it's a question
of pleasure. As simple and as
complicated as that.

Wen wollen sie ansprechen mit ihrer Musik?
Braucht die Gesellschaft die Zeitgenoessische Musik?
György Ligeti (1923-2006)
"Die Frage, ob ich jemandem mit meiner Musik ansprechen will, stellt sich fuer mich gar nicht. Es ist so wie in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung: man versucht ein Problem zu loesen aus Interesse an der Sache und kuemmert sich nicht um den praktischen Nutzen.
So ist auch die Frage ob jemand das braucht, was ich mache, unwesentlich. Ich lebe heute und hier, bin ungewollt Teil einer Kultur, und was ich produziere wird sich mit der Zeit durchsetzen oder nicht.
Man kann die Relevanz eines Kunstwerkes fuer eine Kultur erst im Nachhinein beurteilen."
--------
Quel public voulez-vous toucher avec votre musique?
A-t-on besoin de la musique contemporaine?
György Ligeti (1923-2006)
"La question de savoir a qui je m’adresse avec ma musique ne se pose pas du tout pour moi.
Comme dans la rechereche scientifique, on tente de resoudre un probleme par interet pour la chose et on ne s’interesse pas a l’application pratique.
Donc la question de savoir si quelq’un a besoin de ce que je fais est secondaire. Je vis icic et maintenant, fais involontairement partie d’une culture et ce que je produis s’imposera avec le temps ou non.
On ne peut juger de l’importance d’une oeuvre d’art pour une culture qu’apres coup."

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
"Well-being and happiness never appeared to me as an
absolute aim. I am even inclined to compare such moral
aims to the ambitions of a pig." Einstein
---
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." Einstein
-----
"Where are my breasts? Where are my breasts?" Gore Vidal
-----------
There is no pleasure to me without communication: there is not so much as a sprightly thought comes into my mind that it does not grieve me to have produced alone, and that I have no one to tell it to." Montaigne
------
"Er hatte Genie, aber kein Diplom." Max Ernst
----
"Je suis un mensonge, qui dit toujours la verite." Jean Cocteau
-------
Richard Huelsenbeck - 'Kaum hatten wir'
"Kaum hatten wir dem Mann die Hosen abgezogen,
stand er da, in Fuelle und erstaunt ueber soviel
Begeisterung und er sagte erroetend: Wie koennen Sie?
Und wir sagten, wer will der kann auch, und die
beste Tugend ist die Tuechtigkeit, wenn man es richtig ansieht.
Und der Mann sagte, es sei gut und wir schuettelten uns
die Haende."
"Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah!"
"Wir leben in einem Chaos der geraden Linien. In einem Dschungel der geraden Linien." Hundertwasser
Christoph Schlingensief - "Du Kuenstler"
