“JUST BE RICH”
Kristian von Hornsleth作品展

如何成为一个百万富翁？Hornsleth如佛教徒一般坚定地回答了这个问题：“去买Hornsleth的画挂在墙上，然后等上10年。今天你投资1万欧元，10年后就是50万欧元。”听上去很天方夜谭，不是吗？但是，这就是他的声明：买我的作品，相信我，将来你就会变得富有！过去的10年他的话得到了事实的验证，而在10年后的今天他依然持此姿态。

Hornsleth是一个Futilist（无谓主义者）。Futilism（无谓主义——Hornsleth自造的名词）是一种激发创造的手段，是在看似无谓的事物中寻找意味的方式，针对于从历史经验出发的传统理解方式。Hornsleth创造了自己的Cult，他的Cult所使用的文化符号与朋克、Hip Hop以及色情文化相近。他能够完全自觉地避开社会的价值标准并攻击大众趣味；他有意识地对公众产生影响，同时表达出了对社会风气与价值标准的反感与厌恶。每一件艺术作品都与Hornsleth的理念相联系，同时也组成了他所创造的Cult。

“嘲讽、颠覆大众趣味，同时又被它所追捧、赞美，这位丹麦艺术家确实精于此道。”《纽约时报》曾这样评论他。如今，Hornsleth即将登陆上海，并将在东大名创库为我们展示他最新作品。

"JUST BE RICH"
BRAND NEW HORN$LETH WORKS
How to become a millionaire? Hornsleth answers this question with the conviction of a Buddhist, “Buy Hornsleth hang it on your wall and wait 10 years. Today you are investing 10,000 Euro in 10 years it has a value of 500,000 Euro.” This sounds very artistic, doesn’t it? Nevertheless, that is his strategy, buy and believe in me and you will be rich in the future! The last 10 years have proven his declaration, and 10 years later this formula still works.

Hornsleth is a Futilist. Futilism is a method to boost your creativity. Futilism is a method of taking off from what appears to be without meaning and ending up with something meaningful, which is against the classical understanding that takes off from historical empirics. Hornsleth is the creator of his own cult. This cult uses cultural codes that are close to those of Punk, Hip Hop and Hardcore Pornography. He is totally aware of impeding social expectations and attacking personalities of public interest. He uses this consciously to generate publicity, but simultaneously as an expression of antipathy and disgust for social conventions and expectations. Each and every work of art communicates the Hornsleth idea of art and is part of the cult and cult itself.

The New York Times: “this clever Danish artist specializes in the fine art of nipping the hands that feed him.”, NY Times May 20, 2002. Now Hornsleth arrives in China with his Brand New HORN$LETH works for a premiere solo exhibition at DDM Warehouse.
