Claudia Schmid, Germany 2009, Documentary about Gottfried Helnwein, 116 Min.
Gottfried Helnwein is an artist of clear statements, uninhibited and idiosyncratic. He confronts us with the dark sides of human nature. Silently but mercilessly he uses the fate of the innocent child to bring before our eyes the human capacity for suffering, making the beholder a passive, and indeed active, accomplice to injury and abuse. Helnwein is one of the world’s best-known and at the same time most controversial German-speaking artists of the post-war period. Helnwein is an artist who thinks in political terms, analyzing present and historical world events and revealing, there too, the structures of power and violence. All his life he has addressed the issue of the cruel mechanisms of the Nazi period. His pictures are an ongoing appeal against collective amnesia, deliberate or otherwise. ... +

Gottfried Helnwein :
Waterford City
NIki

from Melbourne Australia

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! ... +

Gottfried Helnwein :
Waterford City
Waterford Fringe Festival
Fury greeted Gottfried Helnwein's Waterford Installation, but his art deals in public trauma, says Gerry McCarthy
Again and again, he has painted children in brutal, violent settings. He has used Chris­tian iconography to depict Nazi officers, and juxtaposed rampaging soldiers with Images of childhood innocence. Visceral reactions come with the territory: one Installation in Cologne was physically attacked by neo Nazis. And yet, he says, he does not set out to shock. "Shock is a useless effect," he says. "Somebody in shock is completely useless. I want to make somebody think."
Instead, Helnwein's work speaks of a deep psychological need for meaning, even as it takes the form of violence and confrontation. Such an approach is rooted in the uneasy silences of growing up in post-war Austria and the shattered illusions of his early adult life, yet is still infused with an uneasy ideal­ism.
His art has brought him material rewards. Over the past 30 years, he has become an art superstar. His paintings and photographs command large prices. As he talks in his Co Tipperary castle, garbed in black clothes and dark glasses, Helnwein has the air of a vet­eran rock star and the lifestyle to match it.

Sonntag, 09:35 bis 10:20
Gottfried Helnwein - ein künstlerischer Anarchist aus Prinzip. Seine Bilder erzählen von apokalyptischen Visionen. Seine Themen sind Schmerz, Gewalt, Religion und Politik. Der österreichische Maler, Grafiker und Fotokünstler Gottfried Helnwein provoziert seit mehr als 30 Jahren mit seiner Schock-Ästhetik. Schon seit Beginn seiner Karriere war Helnwein umstritten. Mit rotzig-radikalen Sätzen wie "von Walt Disney hab ich mehr gelernt, als von Leonardo da Vinci" stellt er den Kulturbetrieb in Frage. 3sat zeigt das Porträt anlässlich der musealen Werkschau des österreichischen Künstlers im Museum Lentos in Linz vom 10. März bis zum 12. Juni 2006. ... +
