THROUGH MEESE's EYES

it can't be easy, getting a restless audience to see what you are trying to do as an artist. i mean to really make a point so that they take it in fully, in all its complexity, really see what you are doing, get it into their big, thick hollow eyed chocolate bunny heads. they are like children, easily bored. perhaps it's useless. it is like trying to make a point by throwing a shoe at the head of george bush! or shoving a camel through the eye of a needle. or lobbing a squid or tossing off an oblique reference to jon waters or throwing a giant headed alien baby through the eye of an even gianter poo poo head multi-lithic statue. maybe it's the head on planet mars. that's very far away, in space, you know. that's just how difficult it can be. do you see???
luckily for Jonathan Meese, some aspects of his long and difficult performance were real crowd pleasers.

throwing the children into the volcano as a gift to the goddess? wow. we each only know what we see in the piece. i think that's what's wonderful about art. interpretation is totally open. even the artist can't know everything his art means or could mean to the viewers. meese did an installation at amherst college as well as this performance.
