“Filthy beautiful by Andres Serrano”
“The challenging photographer’s vulgoestetik no longer so provocative.”
“for a Long time I refused to do poo, said Andres Serrano at the press preview of the exhibition Redemption.”
“In all the goo and gore he devoted himself to for decades, are the litres and litres of blood, spermakluttar and so it kissdränkta the crucifix, of course, but until quite recently no faeces. On the Photographic meet you, although of great happy pictures of feces from 2007. But unlike the famous runkserien Join in the trajectory, where the Serrano after hard work and countless failed attempts, finally managed to catch his own ejaculation with the camera, it is animals – including a bull from Ecuador – which jammed up the shit here.”
“Komockorna also lack the seriousness in the early kroppsvätskekonsten, created during the 80’s aidsepidemi and smittoskräck. With putslustiga verktitlar that Bull shit, it seems the artist most fnissigt embarrassed in the face crap.”
“Cute, yet, that the store ”provocateur” photographed fisting and barnalik draw the line at their bajskorvar.”
“Just the clash between the sacred and the carnal has otherwise been a consistent theme in Serrano’s oeuvre to fotografiska’s retrospective feels like a here’s how it works-the odyssey between the different limbs and basic needs. Gravidmagar, torsos, cuts, Jesus-penises and secretions, which flows out of the body.”
“the Crowning glory is, of course, Piss Christ, the crucifixion, immersed in a tank of Serrano’s urine. As recently as a few months ago, created the photo again the hullabaloo when the news agency AP picked it out of its archive, hours after the attack against Charlie Hebdo.”
“the Difference between Serrano’s alleged blasphemy and Muhammad-the banter is that the Piss Christ, after all, is a fantastic work. A modern icon, open to the interpretation of Christ’s bodily functions. Also deep believers celebrates its sacred luster.”
“No, the most provocative with Serrano really is that he has so bad taste. Nothing could be more out there currently than his baroque vulgoestetik. Far from the clean fototrender, and often just a hair’s breadth from the religious kitsch that decorates the surface of the beer mats and mobilskal with the madonnas and the garish archangels. It översymboliska of letting a snake twist around the cross, or a roman catholic cardinal le in mjugg a pair of blood-stained female breasts à la Femen, should violate the style-conscious connoisseur rather than christian fanatics.”
“Now, it was probably not in the first hand us the culture consumers Photographic had in mind when – even before the opening of the exhibition – went out with that you upped the security.”
“More effective against any saboteurs had probably been to tell you that it is not a real Piss Christ hanging there on the wall, but a so-called utställningskopia, a cheap print made to be shipped around between galleries. I’m guessing that it is not the same thing to do a job.”
“The nazis who attacked Serrano A history of sex in Lund in 2007 was, on the other hand are not so interested in printkvaliteten. But by themselves the justification, that is to say, anal sex and piercing.”
“it’s Often argued that Serrano depicting subjects that are taboo. Not least from the konstinstitutionernas marknadsföringsfolk.”
“But the issue is whether or not the time caught up to him.”
“I mean, how taboo is it, for example, with images of beautiful corpses in the day? Every single Netflix series now contains graphic obduktionsscener and exploited bodies. Serranos series from the morgue, The morgue, feels almost clothed and demure in comparison.”
“It is actually a relief, to not see him as skandalfotograf. Or provocateur, this watered-down concept.”
“instead, just revel in the sentimental beauty he sheds over the death in the morgue, over devota French nuns and the homeless, from the streets of New York city. Even the very lowest – poo and the Ku klux klan-racists – blessing in Serrano’s images. To reduce his art to the post in yttrandefrihetsdebatten would be ridiculous.”
