Nachdem Arnie einen "Politiker-Überfall" des offiziellen Österreich verhindert hatte, schart er nur wenige österreichische Freunde um sich: den väterlichen Freund Alfred Gerstl etwa, 80, der den 17-jährigen Arnold zum Bodybuilding ermutigt hatte, - Kultmaler Gottfried Helnwein und Exslalomläufer Klaus Heidegger. Das offizielle Österreich vertrat Generalkonsul Peter Launsky-Tiefenthal, eingeklemmt in eine Kollegenschar aus Korea, Mexiko, China und Chile.

HELNWEIN - NINTH NOVEMBER NIGHT
The Documentary, premiering at the Simon Wiesenthal Center/Museum of Tolerance Los Angeles.
On Sunday, November 9, at 7:00 p.m. the Museum of Tolerance commemorates the 65th anniversary of the infamous 1938 Nazi “Night of Broken Glass” (Kristallnacht) program which targeted 1,000 synagogues in Germany and Austria and marked the beginning of the end of European Jewry. The commemoration will be highlighted by the screening of a documentary by renowned Austrian artist, Gottfried Helnwein, 9th November Night, who has committed himself and his art to reminding the world of the Holocaust. The documentary is based upon his 1988 exhibit of seventeen children’s portraits that were displayed in commemoration of Kristallnacht in Cologne, Germany. Just days into the exhibit, these portraits were vandalized.. “The fury with which the neo-nazis reacted to these portraits is understandable inasmuch as it is the very same fury with which they have for years been fighting against The Diary of Anne Frank,” said famed Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal. “The murder of children rouses abhorrence and conflict in every human, whether they are motivated by ideology or insanity. The urge to destroy has survived; the portraits bear witness to its rage.”

THE ART OF HUMANITY
Helnwein
In fact, his work is insistently open-ended. Like Goya's Disasters of War, his art queries time and again, "How can this have happened?" Sometimes viewers reply, assaulting pictures of innocent children, worshipping those of a murderous dictator. Yet such reactions can only bring us to inquire again, louder and with greater urgency, "How can this have happened?" At last we recognize that Helnwein asks questions not in order to solicit answers - hate has no reason - but rather in order that we might begin to pose our own.

A Documentary about the Art of Gottfried Helnwein
Sean Penn
…when someone is willing to take on the sadness, the irony, the ugliness and the beauty in the kind of way that Helnwein does.
Sean Penn talks about the Art of Gottfried Helnwein
"Well, the world is a haunted house, and Helnwein at times is our tour guide through it. I think in anything that is really relevant and emotional art, there is some kind of a mirror that people experience. I don't think that you can recognize a feeling from something that you look at unless it's part of yourself, and so when someone is willing to take on the sadness, the irony, the ugliness and the beauty in the kind of way that Gottfried Helnwein does. Not all of Gottfried's work is on a canvas. A lot of it is the way he's approached life. And it doesn't take someone knowing him to know that. You take one look at the paintings and you say "this guy has been around." You can't sit in a closet - and create this. This level of work is earned." Sean Penn

Gottfried Helnwein at the L.A.Art show 2003
Helnwein’s 20-by-60 foot outdoor installation “Modern Sleep 2003”, as well as photographs from his collaboration with Marilyn Manson, are included in the show, which opens with this evening’s gala and is open to the general public Friday through Sunday at Santa Monica Airport’s Barker Hangar. “Modern Sleep 2003” (digital print) is the latest in a series dating back to the 1980s and reflects Helnwein’s use of children in questioning the human condition. It includes two images of a girl. In one, her skin is pale white, and she is dressed in black. In the other, she is black, dressed in white. In both images, her expression is death-like. “They have open eyes, so modern sleep doesn’t mean they are just sleeping,” says Helnwein. “It might mean something else.”

Christoph Hirschmann
Arnold passt in kein Bewertungsschema
Christoph Hirschmann spricht mit Gottfried Helnwein über Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold war schon sehr früh mit Andy Warhol befreundet, zu einem Zeitpunkt wo beide noch unbekannt waren. Aber er hatte sofort Gefallen an dem blassen, schmächtigen, weissblonden Sonderling gefunden, der oft stundenlang in Trainingshallen und Umkleidräumen verbrachte und fasziniert die verschwitzten Kolosse bei ihren diversen Tätigkeiten betrachtete. Die Inspiration war offensichtlich gegenseitig, denn Arnold beschloss eines Tages, sein Bodybuilding zur Kunst zu erklären. Er wandte sich also an den Chief-Curator des angesehenen Whitney-Museums in New York und überzeugte ihn davon, dass Bodybuilding eigentlich Bildhauerei im klassischen Sinn sei, nur mit dem eigenen Körper als dem zu bearbeitenden Material. Er hat dann mit zwei anderen Kollegen tatsächlich vor staunenden Kunstfreunden, Kuratoren und Trustees des Museums eine Performance inszeniert, die die illustre Runde lange nicht vergessen sollte.

My art is not an answer - it is a question.
“Children and lunatics cut the gordian knot which the poet spends his life patiently trying to untie.” Jean Cocteau
Helnwein: "I think art always reflects the society and the time the artist lives in; it always tells you something about the condition of the culture. This is the age of materialism and profit, accompanied by its favorite all-eating pet – the entertainment industry. Therefore in order not to sink into oblivion, in a desperate struggle to be heard and seen, many artists and curators try to compete with this multi-media-entertainment-Godzilla, trying to be just as loud and cheap and stupid. That’s why 70% to 80% of all the contemporary art in our museums is crap. It’s true though that each time has its own aesthetic values and if you want to reach the people of today you have to develop an artistic language that they can understand. And that’s what I try to do – my audience is the great love-affair of my life. I am obsessed with my public, and all I want to do with my art is touch them and move them and to hold them tight – and sometimes I want to kick their ass. That is all I care about. But I also listen to them and take them and their responses serious, because they and other artists are the only ones that ever taught me anything."

ALBUM COVERS THAT NEVER WERE.
Putting Holes into Happiness, Kneel down humble men and become the height of our children. Let your heart crawl into your knee and realize that all knowledge lives through imagination. This is the nursery business, always get a photocopy. Our cultures may continue to disintegrate but we just rebuild with abusement parks, filming the process and replaying it as situation comedy. We wear ribbons, hold hands, celebrate and concentrate on camps that train our kindergartens to shout out "star-spangled" banter. We will medicate the lunacy of "degenerate" art with heavy doses of old-fashioned (original recipe) family virtues. "Let's make sure all of these offensive forms of entertainment are shown publicly, and burned immediately as a warning to us all!"

Ich komme sicher nicht zurück.
Österreich-Gespräch.Maler Gottfried Helnwein über die Vorzüge der katholischen Vergangenheit von Österreich und den Unterhaltungswert der Politik.
"Meine Arbeit hat immer polarisiert. Ich habe immer Leute gehabt, die begeistert und fasziniert waren und ich habe immer Leute gehabt, die mich gehasst haben. Als ich noch in Wien war und ein Kritiker, der ein Leben lang eine Menge schlechter Bilder ohne Probleme ausgehalten hat, bei mir aber wirklich ausgerastet ist, Schaum vor dem Mund hatte, und fast einen Herzinfarkt gekriegt hat, dachte ich mir: Siehst du, irgendeine Intensität muss dein Werk haben. Bei meiner ersten Ausstellung im Wiener Künstlerhaus sind meine Bilder sogar mit Klebern überpickt worden auf denen “Entartete Kunst” stand.
