Exhibition Catalogue Jonathan Meese. Dr Merlin de Large (Marquis Zed de Baby-Excalibur) presented at the Carré Sainte-Anne, Montpellier (15 feb. - 30 apr. 2017).
Employing all media, Meese combines painting, drawing, and sculpture with collages, texts, and collections of material to sprawling installations resembling towering piles of high art and trash. Each of his statements - which oscillate between provocation, blasphemy, catharsis, exorcism, and criticism of the political system - is art and only seemingly pretentious and insolent.
Meese rather follows in the tradition of the Dadaists who regarded the "mumblings of lunatics and children" and nonsense as the only way back to elementary truths: art is a child's game in the true sense of the word to be attained with nothing less than a complete change of system from "democracy or some other form of government made by people" to the "dictatorship of art."
