Gustav Metzger: Decades 1959-2009
29 September- 8 November
Serpentine Gallery
A distorting between A) the hidden Facade.
History of violations entwined with the guilt that you in turn have told us we need to feel.
Guilt for a feeling not remembered, not live but worn as a badge
Fragmented, Magnified sections
Grandiose and lazy- awkward for the sake of awkward in the name of art-
Lost with a maze of 100year old oaks, monuments of changed decisions and the feeling I left/
Let you down on the tube.
I’ll make my own art if you tell me what notes to take- which statements to combobulate.
Ipods and fashions and fast food in order to get rich quicker die faster, live a little less hard, because nothing is as difficult as it used to B)
And you should be thankful for our open air cafe where your coffee is served cold. Sectioning of layers of the hidden, the deceived and the ill forgotten before their time.
This is a homage: to the lives given to the TV daze of the forgotten war hero, the political stance maker and the underground culture.
No fancy lights, just meditative calm, a reflection of thought procession, and a half broken car and my boyfriends £2 left at the door.
