BELOW SOURCE MATERIAL FROM THE SHOW OF ELAINE LEVY... 2009 For about a decade I have been studying Chinese as part of my art work . I have so far accomplished only modest results in spite of more than thousand hours of studies I mostly videotape. Recently, in particular since a general feeling of Western declines and Chinese looming economic superiority seems to become a dominant theme I have come to understand that I wanna be Chinese. Without really knowing what that all means, I would suggest we all should become Chinese. For this show at Elaine Levy Projects I try to address this issue and include sculputres, videos, photographs, painting and works on papers. Similar to the majority of Chinese contemporary art, I also try to be prolific using even 'outsourcing' as a way of artistic productions. CHINESE MANIFESTO: - A legislative initiative for the EU Parliament to make Chinese a European language and teach it as a second or third foreign language in school equal to English.
Wo jiao Yu Ren / My name is Rainer (rain man) 4 min, Shanghai, April 2009 This video is an "Introduction video" and explains why I had to retake my job as an artist again, even though I had no idea what to do, what to paint... I talk shortly about the fate of A.I.G. where I mad a lot of money before I went bankrupt(Obama even forced me to return my bailout money... we more or less evenly split 65 millions ... which - as you know - wasn't much compared to the 80 billions it received from the government). last but not least, I am also sharing a secret. see below and here: video
