Gottfried Helnwein | IRELAND | Ireland Special | THE WEDDING AND OTHER EVENTS

Der bekannteste Österreicher, der sich in Irland einen herrschaftlichen Wohnsitz schuf, ist der Maler Gottfried Helnwein. ...

"Als ich in den 1990er Jahren nach Irland kam, war es das freieste Land der westlichen Welt. Es gab nicht einmal den Ansatz irgendeinereiner Bürokratie. Es existierten überhaupt keine Formulare, die man hätte ausfüllen können, man konnte ohne Führerschein Autofahren und Künstler waren von der Steuer befreit. Ich hatte 10 Jahre lang keinen einzigen Polizisten gesehen, ich war mir gar nicht sicher, ob es soetwas hier überhaupt gibt. Das war mein Land. Ich komme nämlich sehr gut ohne Bevormundung, Überwachung und Kontrolle irgendwelcher Behörden zurecht. Die EU hat aber in den letzten Jahren dafür gesorgt, dass die Party hier vorbei ist und einige Banker haben das Land vor kurzem auch noch bankrott gemacht. Sonst ist es aber immer noch gemütlich hier." ...

In a nod to Masterson's Irish heritage, the couple had a formal wedding at a private castle, the picturesque setting of Tipperary serving as their backdrop, during a weeklong celebration.
The groom’s brother Chris Masterson served as best man and guests included actors Ben Foster, Mike Pena and Ethan Suplee and acclaimed artist Gottfried Helnwein. ...

A poem written about "MOLLY" by one of the 46 foreign journalists covering the cycle tour passing through Waterford. ...

His neck it was green, he was rare to be seen,
He was fit for a Queen of the highest degree,
His body so white, it would give you delight,
He was fat, plump and heavy, and brisk as a bee;
My dear little fellow, his legs, they were yellow ...

I recently visted Waterford Ireland for the first time, looking for the land of my ancestors, having made the trek from Australia. It was very powerful for me to drive into Waterford and be captured immediately by the girl overlooking the harbour. I have been fascinated by it ever since, and as an artist, inspired. It was great to discover the artist and the intention behind the work, after weeks of her inhabiting my consciousness. I think she was the source of my new song, "We Are Children". Thank-you so much for your beautiful and challenging work! ...
