It is in Dutch, unfortunately. And even more so because Curator X &#8211; still recovering from  a light heartattack- hasn&#8217;t given permission to translate the speech into English. According to him it&#8217;s an internal Dutch affair. Wat i can say is that the speech is a witty, aggressive and clever attack on the commercialization of art and the treason of art&#8230;&#8221;Not even a pimp tells his whores how to fuck&#8221; as Mc Wisecrack has it in his <a title="mcwisecrack's myspace with lot's of video's of him in action in his musical armour" href="http://www.myspace.com/mcwisecrack" target="_blank">&#8216;<strong>Art the state(ment)&#8217;</strong></a> rap.</span></p><p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eK8StLy9yoE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eK8StLy9yoE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p><p><span style="color: #810081;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="blogspot van WdW63, het voormalig Fotomuseum te Rotterdam mastered door gastheer Walter Birkhoff" href="http://WdW63.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><strong>Curator X</strong> heet U Welkom in <strong>DPC2=Salonfähig</strong></a></span></span><sub>Nota bene:  cursieve gedeelten zonder bronvermelding zijn citaten van gangbare meningen en cliché&#8217;s</sub></p><p><span style="color: #810081;"><em>Kunst? Ja wat is kunst? Iets met kwaliteit dat kwantiteit weet te genereren, toch!</em> Oftewel de gemiddelde smaak en trendvolgerij als maatstaf voor uitmuntenheid! Uitmuntend vanuit het profijtbeginsel geredeneerd dan, dat is een woordspeling te ver bijna. <em>Uit de kunstenaar munt slaan</em> trouwens ook zo&#8217;n toepasselijk uitdrukking, vooral als mooie dooie! Vincent van Gogh had tijdens zijn leven er heus wel oor naar gehad grote bedragen op zijn bankrekening te zien regenen&#8230;</span></p><p><span style="color: #810081;">Nee, <em>lijden en armoede zijn goed voor de kunstenaar, krijgt-ie zijn inspiratie</em> van en zijn dan welverdiende 90% transpiratie, terwijl hij als ieder gewone sterveling zelf al uit hetzelfde % water bestaat. Al doet hij er nog zoveel wijn bij. <em>Want dat moeten we ook niet vergeten, kunstenaars zijn niet alleen aan zichzelf verslaafd, ook aan alcohol, drugs, aandacht, hoeren en buitenbeentje zijn..&#8221;</em></span></p><p><span style="color: #810081;"><em>Maar ja kunst?</em> Kunst komt toch gewoon van kunnen. Iets wat gekund is. En een kunstenaar is niet iemand die naar wordt van kunsten. Een kunstenaar is iemand wiens leven staat naar het kunnen van kunsten. Met of zonder droog brood of gemeentepils. En dat dan vol continu, als genadeloos slachtoffer van eigen enthousiasme, obsessie, idealisme, waaghalserij, opstandigheid en zelfs als je pech hebt utopisme&#8230;!</span></p><p><span style="color: #810081;">Althans dat is mijn favouriete type kunst-er-naar. Maar in die kleinste etnische minderheid die zij vormen, in ons heerlijk vol hol landje, zijn er ook de rustige, de gedege, de duidelijke, de illustratieve, de vakidiotische, de traditionele, de naïeve , de genezende en de amateur-kunstenaar<br /> (mooi woord- betekent &#8216;de liefhebber &#8216; met &#8216;mijn doek, ik heb u lief!&#8217; dat soort associaties)</span></p><p><span style="color: #810081;">Al deze rare vogels &#8211; verwant aan  <em>rare </em>(frans) en <em>rare </em>(eng.) die allebei zeldzaam betekenen &#8211; Al die vogels van diverse pluimage, zult u in <strong>DPC2=Salonfähig</strong> dan ook allemaal ongestoord in elkaars bijzijn aantreffen. In levende lijve of door hun kunstwerken. Voor wie daar oog voor heeft natuurlijk. En die hoeft niet bij de ingang ingeleverd  te worden&#8230;.</p><p><em>Ieder mens is een kunstenaar</em> zei Joseph Beuys. Zo ver zou ik niet willen gaan. Maar ieder mens heeft wel het vermogen van kunst te houden, daar hoef je geen verstand van te hebben, je krijgt er hooguit verstánd van, in bepaalde opzichten en met zekere inzichten. Want kunst kan geen vrijblijvende aangelegenheid zijn, daarvoor is de levens-investering die de kunstenaar nodig heeft, te bepalend. <em>Roep niet in de woestijn daar</em> <em>krijg je dorst van</em> volgens Van Zanten en dat daar ben ik het wel mee eens.  Je hebt daar trouwens geen woestijn voor nodig, voor die dorst. Nadrukkelijkheid daar krijg je een houten bek van!  Maar het is juist die kunstenaar die dorst naar kennis en verlichting, die het levende bewijs is dat je niet doof kunt zijn voor de ware roeping. En voor wie dit teveel wordt, te hoog gegrepen is of acacadabra vindt-dat geldt ook deelnemende kunstenaars! - , wil ik alleen maar zeggen dat in mijn opinie -Curator X zijnde- kunst zó moet zijn. <em>Anders is het slechts kunstnijverheid in overeenstemming met de tijd</em> zoals <strong>Thomas Bernhard</strong> dat Ludwig Wittgenstein liet zeggen in zijn stuk Ritter,Dene,Voss naar aanleiding van een paar portretschilderijen.</span></p><p><span style="color: #810081;">Het enige wat de gemiddelde mens met de kunstenaar lijkt te hebben is het idee dat die kunstenaar precies<br /> van zijn persoonlijke belastingsgeld misbruik maakt. Alsof alle andere belastingsgeld-toepassingen nuttig zijn , alleen kunst niet. En met dat misverstand eigent die gemiddelde mens zich als het ware een macht over de kunstenaar toe. Als een volkgericht. Hetgeen mij met een gedachtesprong brengt op de schilder A. Schricklgruber uit Oostenrijk, die ook zijn miskende kunstenaarschap moest zien te compenseren. En hij deed dat met een woelige politieke carriere, daarbij getuigend van een grote bezetenheid en werklust. Dit is toch wel een AH-Erlebnis waard, nietwaar, dames en heren? Hoewel ik vrees dat velen nu denken aan Bonuskaarten en Airmiles en op kleintjes letten.</span><span style="color: #810081;">Tot slot &gt;volgens mijn stellige overtuiging is &gt; </span></p><p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #810081;">Kunst is geen gunst  &gt; </span><span style="color: #810081;">of wie? met wie? luncht?

Using staccato cut video clips projected on them and the soundtracks as accompaniment for their freestyle and Sprechgesang. Of course the reactionary members of the audience said it was old-fashioned and had been done before. But those living in the present took the improvised presentation of the PRC&#8217;s definition, ideology and style, all in their own way. This was just a modest warming up.It served as dissonant/dissident upbeat for <a title="everything you always wanted to know about FTW" href="http://www.fuckthewriter.com" target="_blank"><strong>Fuck the Writer&#8217;s</strong> </a>first appearance with the new line up of his band the Illiterates and with repertoire from their coming cd. The brilliant, lively and critcal songs of FTW were welcomed like a spring rain. When FTW said Punk didn&#8217;t exist anymore, he actually used a punk-like provocation and a historical definition of the term <strong><a title="surprising etymological definitions of punk" href="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=Punk&amp;searchmode=none" target="_blank">punk</a></strong>.

His motivation was simple: as theatre is only in the moment and evaporates in time and photography on the other hand freezes sublime moments into timeless scenes, why not use the latter to create a kind of stopmotion interpretation of drama.<span id="more-83"></span></p><p><img src="http://www.henrivanzanten.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/blauwbaard-jelllyface.jpg" alt="Bluebeard Jellyface" /></p><p>The first story we chose to use for this purpose was that of Bluebeard. After some research it became clear that historically speaking there was very little to hold onto. So i started off writing my own interpretation in a series of poems in prose. In itself a kind of stopmotion. There was no real plot. There were scenes, suggestions of drama, flashes of metaphysics and pure poetry. The title i gave to it was <strong>Bluebeard paints his beard.</strong></p><p>Then we started making the photo&#8217;s (slides). The first presentation was a tape-slide production we produced commissioned by RoTheater in Rotterdam. After one show &#8211; only for the group &#8211; it wasn&#8217;t shown again. The form was too revolutionary for normal people working in normal theatre. They were shocked and thought it an unforgivable sign of vanity that I had acted Bluebeard myself. How pathetic. However we weren&#8217;t allowed to take the tape and slides. RoTheater had paid for it, so it was their property, although they didn&#8217;t like it (i.e. grasp it). However years later we wanted to show it in a retrospective. We informed, but it had been thrown away when they moved into their own theatre. Unbelievable disrespect and stupidity. I only tell this anecdote as counterpoint to the silent immortal beauty of photography. Of course we had kept the originals.</p><p>In 2002 only the slides were shown in random order, projected on the name Bluebeard in Gothic letters. No text. That was in the <strong>Oh no not again</strong> exhibition.</p><p>But apart from the theatrical presentation, the photographic interpretation of Bluebeard and the poems in prose have inspired me to work on a graphic symbiosis together Willem Westerik.
