Bendix Harms: Reversed Evolution - How it feels to be Mamon
Who is MAMON? Mamon is the new leader of our Danish farm 脴sterf忙lden - a cow-cat as a: weapon, a performer, a chief of forest, a melancholiac, a powerplant, a defender, a wanderer, a peacemaker, a connoisseur, a beauty, an h-bomb, an ignorant, a tactician, a killer, a yes-sayer, a charmer, a 48-name-cat, a no-sayer, a multi-radar-tracker - a huge conterpart - big enough to host the whole world inside her black and white body and impressing enough to be thrown back into the evolution: being Mamon. A perfect foundation for delivering continuously images to me - the Concrete- Contentist from Germany - because she is able to operate as a determiner and decisionsmaker 鈥� sending precise orders to my brain鈥� as all my chosen and painted subjects do.
It feels like being a reciever of commands that can only be processed, when the relationship between me and the subject climbs on a steel-like level - achieved through love, hate, overmotivated behavior, unexpected physiognomies, humans who put names to things and animals who put names to things鈥�. then the subject overtakes the command-center - like my wife Mari with her square-built-rascal-face, the blackcap bird with his concrete-grey body and his unscrewed black monk鈥榮 head or Rufus the black cat - the former owner of the farm we bought in Denmark 鈥� and now the new owner: MAMON.
The selected subject shouts his precise orders: generate me only in that way, because it鈥榮 adequate for me, its adequate for your paint, for your tools and for art-history - in the end of an artist鈥榮 life only one thing matters: the difference of the work in relation to history.
