Gottfried Helnwein : Late Regret
RTCinteractive entertainment
Ireland
A controversial mural by Austrian artist, Gottfried Helnwein has been damaged at the Kilkenny Arts Festival.
Huge canvases of his work, depicting images of Nazi soldiers staring adoringly at modern Madonna and Child figures, were displayed on various buildings in Kilkenny during the festival.
One of the murals hanging at the front of Kilkenny castle had paint thrown at it sometime during the night.
Another picture by Mr Helnwein, featuring a young Kilkenny girl, was also partially damaged in another part of the town. ... +

Ireland

The disturbing Work of Helnwein comes to Ireland Helnwein is a headline artist who works in tight sound bites on a very large scale. The works brand themselves with proof of his technical know-how in various media and are endorsed by the coolest celebrities of his generation. So much for the cover-story, so what lies within? Headlines lure you into stories that make you want to cry, smile or help to change the world. But when they stop at your own skin, you can get a sinking feeling, a sense of the bigness and badness outside and the impossibility of change. ... +

Ninety children from around the city and country were photographed by the artist here in the High Street and nine are displayed in central locations around the city, dramatically enlarged up to 9 metres high. This ongoing project, begun here, will continue in other cities and towns in Ireland as the artist intends to expand the work to include one thousand Irish children. These beautiful,confident and happy children from Kilkenny contrast starkly with some of his more disturbing imagery. The juxtaposition of historical photographs of the Nazi regime with religious imagery of the Madonna and Child in the "Epiphany" series can make uneasy viewing not only in Germany and Austria but also here in Kilkenny.
Amongst a number of possible readings of these works is the uncomfortable relationship between the church and oppression in its various forms. However, as the artist Nolde said, "harmless pictures seldom mean anything". Nolde was banned from painting by the Nazi regime. ... +

Gottfried Helnwein : Actress Belen Blanco in Kleines Helnwein

Una sociedad intolerante formada por padres que abusan de sus hijos y líderes políticos que ejercen de dictadores es lo que podremos ver en Kleines Helnwein, el espectáculo que el argentino Rodrigo M. Malmsten presenta en el Grec.
Inspirada en la estética del pintor austriaco Gottfried Helnwein, autor de obras que denuncian una sociedad oscura e hipócrita, para Kleines Helnwein Malmsten ha escrito un texto fragmentario, no realista, en el que el espectador advierte que el personaje que es una víctima se convierte en verdugo. ... +

Kleines Welttheater: Strawinskys Oper "The Rake's Progress" in Hamburg, illustriert von Helnwein.
Die Regie Jürgen Flimms fügt sich triftig in den Dialog zwischen kammermusikalischem Orchesterklang und Bühnenbild , weil Helnwein die Erzählung leitet. Fern vom schweren Musikdrama,nimmt die Inszinierung die Stilexkursionen Strawinskys und Audens auf, wenn im Bordell Rokoko-Damen auf Glatzköpfe in gepolstertem Blouson-Look treffen und die Chefin Mutter Goose ostinat auf dem Teufel reitet. In Helnweins Bildergeschichte macht sie ihrem Namen Ehre mit einem Donald Duck auf dem Kopf. ... +

Gottfried Helnwein : The Rake's Progress
Staatsoper, Hamburg
Dirtector: Jürgen Flimm, Conductor: Ingo Metzmacher
Flimm gewann für Bühne und Kostüme Gottfried Helnwein, der angeblich notorisch Drastik und Provokation sucht, zunächst aber ein ingeniöser Bildmacher ist, -ein Maler, Grafiker und Fotograf.
Das verbindet ihn mit William Hogarth, dem englischen Kupferstecher, dessen Bilderzyklen Strawinsky zur Oper inspirierten. Doch 250 Jahre später setzt Helnwein nicht bei Hogarth und seiner realistisch genauen Darstellung der Londoner Casinos, Lusthöllen und Irrenhäuser an.
Helnwein arrangiert eine magische Zeitlosigkeit durch präzise Rekostruktion konkreter Stile
und zugleich fantasiegeborener Kreationen. Selten erlebte man die plastische Wirkungskraft von Kostümen so intensiv wie in Helnweins schiefem, nach rechts sich neigendem Kubusraum, in den zur Linken drei Türen eingelassen sind und dessen hellweisse Flächen immer wieder Bildprojektionen dienen,
Kostüme und Bilder sind von ausgesuchtem Antipsychologismus, von entwaffnend stereotyper Symbolik, so wie Audens und Kallmans Text, wie Strawinskys Musik.
