“Put aside our differences… Yustas, that Drunken Santa sounds interesting. Writing a book? Reading about painting is sort of like looking at pictures of food. Paintings are to be looked at not talked about.”

Strange subject In regards to the text of the “Drunken Santa” review, there are no visual or social references from which to gauge a concept, except that the subject matter is a painting. The text indicates a dark spin on a usually cheerful semi-religious office (from the secular to the…

As an avid collector of contemporary art, I find your description of your work most interesting. In particular, “sex became ‘the lyricism of the masses’”.
As a high-net worth investor in such works, I do it for one prime reason, if I show it to a good-looking lass will it help me get my end away. As you can imagine investing over $3 million in such work to only get a couple of good shags is an expensive exercise. Consequently would you describe ‘Talk Show’ as a fanny magnet and if so how much would I have to pay?

“Two points: The technique you describe sounds close Max Ernst’s *Une Semaine de bonte* in which collages produce unconscious reactions in the viewer’s mind. Surrealism also sought to bring about a “high aesthetic” as indicated in its name, literally “higher realism.” Art has always had an effect on the unconscious mind of the beholder. One famous example is Pater’s prose poem on the Mona Lisa.”| — |

“I would never have come up with the connection between a hot dog party (what is that, btw?) and the apocalypse. Although I guess everything is apocalyptic nowadays.”

The semi-angry comment type: “You like to get the raw reaction you’re getting from me, right now. Justify your behavior. Are you just clueless or really enjoying this mind-fuck? Your response makes it sound like I was OK with your initial contact and was interested. Where do get the nerve to respond in the way you did?”
Now from the distant look of many years passed by from the initial interaction with public that started in 1998 one can clearly see how “email” or website “posting” and the Internet itself helped to amplify the effect of the gleitzeit art content to produce similarly amplified written reaction. Its very unlikely that something like this could occur in real time, in direct communication face to face and so forth.
The internet stimulated Gleitzeit art interaction. Each new interesting comment and reaction had enforced the Gleitzeit art outreach to continue.
If for the artist in real life a negative reaction could potentially be damaging, the formula of Gleitzeit art outreach on the Internet incorporated any negative reaction as similarly positive drive.
People criticized a visual artwork that wasn’t presented in the visual form. Surely this turned to be very interesting.

Larry writes on 6/7/99 regarding Sinphony Oil painting by Paul Jaisini: “Ah, the dream of dual sexuality, complete equivalence, men having babies, females with a penis they can insert into their own vagina. People quite often screw themselves. This would just make the exercise a literal one. We could not only date ourselves, we could rape ourselves. Sigmund will make a comeback. The urban artistic mind is entranced by sex since it is the only natural thing in their vicinity.”
