Die neue Serie der russischen Kunstkomiker Blue Noses: “Proletarian Conceptualism“, 2010. “All the expected memorabilia are there: a propaganda portrait of Stalin stuck on the body of a doll is nursed by an obese blond who wears only a golden crown familiar from Russian folklore. In another image she tries to fit beneath a black carpet piece of cardboard, which reads as Malevich’s Black Square; but that famous bit of Soviet art is undercut by her naked buttocks which protrude. In another photograph, one of the artists is upside down, holding a huge black star to cover his genitalia as he gazes back at the viewer. We are reminded that these recognizable symbols have been often used to cover both artistic ineptness, “nakedness” if you will, and a nostalgia for the past.” Und fĂĽr alle, die es noch nicht kennen: Die ältere Videoperformance “If I were Harry Potter…“.
