Die Eltern versuchen, sich von ihrer eigenen Generation freizuschaufeln. Sie will jetzt keine Experimente mehr, sondern so richtig geil gesund leben, den ganzen Tag joggen und schön zum Bioladen. Und dann zu den Alkopop-Kids sagen: "Ey, du siehst aber scheiße aus, schau uns mal an!".
Parents are trying to dig themselves out of their own generation. They don't want any more experiments, they want to live ultra healthy, spend the whole day jogging and going to the organic foods store. And then they say to their alcoholic kids: hey, you look like shit, take a look at us! These salon revolutionaries want to call all the shots and survive everything-they're like cockroaches. It's caught up with their bodies now, too. As artists, this generation doesn't really operate with any degree of openness. Gestures sweep across the paper, and they bumble around with sentences like "the metaphysical power of the in-between allows thoughts to freely unfold." What's that supposed to mean? It's better to have the guts to say that's an arm, or that's a fly. The human image is something people understand. It's just as accessible to the blockheads as to the pseudo-intellectual generation. The body should just be a variable that even people at the North Pole understand when the drawings are dug out from beneath the snow.

Unsere Elterngeneration hat sich Begriffe ausgedacht, damit sie in der Kunstgeschichte richtig geil dasteht. Heute ist alles polymorph zusammengeschnitten, und man kann als Künstler nur noch versuchen, eine Haltung zu generieren.
Our parents' generation made up concepts to secure themselves a really great place in art history. Today, everything is thrown together in a polymorphous way, and as an artist all you can do is try to come up with a position. But every gesture has been used; every saying has been said. So there you are, and you think: shit, some stupid Jeff Koons remark in some art book is worth more than the crap I make. I've carried out minimalist experiments; I've drawn cubes and squares-in order to apprehend myself by means of my own body. One million dots per square meter, a drawing that takes months to make. Perseverance. This also implies the danger of becoming too illustrative, like Reiner Ruthenbeck, who knocks a sheet of paper around with a pencil for hours. I do the same thing, but I try to gain a greater distance to these experiments. What I want to phase out completely is whether or not this is in or not, whether it's already been done. The one thing I want to achieve is not to become a cliché. That I'm not standing at a gas station one day and a TV team comes along and asks, "What do you have to say about the rise in gasoline prices?" and I answer, "It's a big scam!" Ever since the '50s, everything has been revolving, there's no real point of connection. It's all a lot of hot air, all CO2.
