Galerie Capitain Petzel: Heavy Burschi
Martin Kippenberger war ein großer Orientierungspunkt für mich während meiner Studienzeit und ist es bis heute geblieben. Als Plakatmacher war er ein großer Könner einer Antiästhetisierung und seine Bilder empfinde ich bis heute als einen Meilenstein in der Malerei. Das ich Ihn in seiner frankfurter Zeit an der Städelschule miterleben durfte hat mich gestalterisch geprägt, aber auch von einem weiteren Kunst-Studium am Städel abstand nehmen lassen, denn er führte mir vor das ein Dasein in der Kunstwelt meine damaligen Kräfte und Fähigkeiten überfordern würde. Es ist eine große Ehre für diese Lichtgestalt ein Plakat gestalten zu dürfen.
Galerie Capitain Petztel: We can see here what Jan Avgikos once described in a review of the “heavy guy” as a “problems in art.” Instead of executing the paintings in the dumpster himself, Kippenberger commissioned his assistant Merlin Carpenter to repaint them from reproductions published in earlier catalogues. However, the commissioner was not satisfied with the copies that Carpenter ultimately reworked into his own painting collages. They seemed too painterly, even too perfect: “Just too good, too skillful, and therefore too much kitsch, these paintings. So I decided to make them double-kitsch.” (Kippenberger)

Martin Kippenberger was a great point of orientation for me during my student days and has remained so to this day. As a poster maker, he was a great master of anti-aesthetization and I still consider his pictures to be a milestone in painting. The fact that I was able to experience him during his time at the Städelschule in Frankfurt influenced me creatively, but also made me refrain from further art studies at the Städel, because he showed me that an existence in the art world would overtax my strengths and abilities at that time. It is a great honor to be allowed to design a poster for this light figure.
