Olaf Breuning by Bradley Deane Lay.
Hello Everybody.
Found an Article in Parkett 71 2004 (pge 32) about Olaf Breuning. Actually there was a couple of articles on him in there plus some writing a language that I could read, but was not able to understand. Lots of words like "Gehful" and those little dots above the "u" that I can never work out how to type when I'm trying to type in a language I don't understand.
Anyway I think this person does interesting stuff. The thing that initially caught my eye was this photo of the Easter Island statues with badly superimposed grins and ears. The ears and mouths have been set up between the camera and the statues so that you can see the metal supports for them. Deliberately crap, and funny. Seems to be messing with the idea that these things were all about solemn worship and the power of idols.
His take on the art world: "It's like being stuck on a little island. Each time you realise it, you want to vomit." His view on his own art: "Sitting on an island and vomiting about my life."
There's quite a bit of stuff on the internet about this guy too.
I found this one called "I am Scared of the Chinese".

Is that chinese one layers upon layer upon layer for 3d effect? if so,awesome.
"Sitting on an island and vomiting about my life" is a very interesting thing for one to describe his own art. I'm glad you included this statement Bradley, I'm inspired forever.
that was sallys comment
