Gottfried Helnwein : Sleep 5
2008
Fenton Gallery, Cork
Dublin Art Fair 2008
Medb Ruane
Gottfried Helnwein's classic yet unnerving images transform sentimental representations of childhood into portraits of individual subjects frozen at the moment of suffering. His photo-paintings pirouette on the fine line between chocolate box pictures/excessive sentimentality and the cost to children of being treated as commodities, of suffering emotional or physical pain at a grown-up's hands.
High pictorial and technical values create compositions that recall contemporary cinema and seventeenth-century painting, expanding the treatment of time into epic. This apparent grandiosity plays against the immediacy of each suffering subject, underlining the different experience of time in childhood. Small hurts can devastate when you're a child. Big hurts stay with you for years, as survivors of Hitler's Anschluss testify.
Now, in the age of virtual use and abuse of children, Helnwein's insistence on valuing the humanity and charm of the littlest, the least powerful, offers a counterpoint to claims that suffering counts most when you're grown-up. It opens his practice into a series of pictorial mise-en-scènes, as did Rembrandt's tableaux in The Blinding of Samson (1636) or The Night Watch (1642). ... +

Curator

The exhibit will explore the intersection of art, the body, and medical procedures, with the implicit fear of bodily pain (real or imagined) as a major theme. The human body is vulnerable and mortal, yet it is also the biological basis of human existence. "Body Anxious" includes works by artists from around the world, in, often, unconventional media, who examine the anxieties associated with medical procedures and instruments, and other experiences that remind us of our shared precarious biological condition.
Artists include: Gottfried Helnwein, Kiki Smith, Diana Falchuk, James R. Southard, Drew Sellers, Cristin Millet and Chiharu Shiota. ... +

Gottfried Helnwein : Face it
10. May 2007
Verlag Christian Brandstätter
Wien
Lentos Museum of Modern Art, Linz
Gottfried Helnwein's latest exhibition, "Face It", is the artist's first show in his native Austria since 1985. A retrospective of 40 works from the 1970s to the present, it is more shocking than the Royal Academy's infamous "Sensation" of 1997. Helnwein aims to disturb not with, say, an elephant-dung Madonna, as Chris Ofili did then, but with a far more controversial Virgin. Of all his paintings, the most disturbing is Epiphany (1996), for which he dips into our collective memory of Christianity's most famous birth. This Austrian Catholic Nativity scene has no magi bearing gifts. Madonna and child are encircled by five respectful Waffen SS officers palpably in awe of the idealised, kitsch-blonde Virgin. The Christ toddler, who stands on Mary's lap, stares defiantly out of the canvas. Helnwein's baby Jesus is Adolf Hitler.

"Helnwein is one of the few exciting painters we have today." Norman Mailer
(ots) - Am 17.5. 2007, 21:00 MESZ, eröffnet das Gottfried Helnwein Museum in Second Life. Damit betritt einer der bedeutendsten lebenden Künstler die virtuelle Welt in Second Life. Gottfried Helnwein nutzt damit eine Möglichkeit dieser Online-Welt, die es im echten Leben nicht gibt: Die Ausstellung seines gesamten Lebenswerks in einem einzigen Museum. Seine in mehr als 35 Jahren geschaffenen Arbeiten sind in vielen Museen und bedeutenden privaten Sammlungen in der ganzen Welt verstreut.
Es wäre kaum möglich, sie in einem realen Museum für eine einzige Präsentation zusammenzubringen.
Die Ausstellungsfläche des virtuellen Museums beträgt mehr als 80.000 qm. Das Museum und das Ausstellungskonzept sind von Gottfried Helnwein mitgestaltet worden. ... +
