Jonathan Meese’s contribution to raising flags proclaims art as a fundamental force in society. A red heart at the center symbolizes the importance of art, while handwritten statements perceive art both as a future vision and a struggle. Socio-political slogans like “KUNST AN DIE MACHT” (Art to Power) are juxtaposed with names of children's characters such as BARBARELLA and PIPPI LANGSTRUMPF, emphasizing the idea that the transformative power of art also requires playful imagination.
The artwork by Jonathan Meese is available as a signed and numbered flag edition in the format 80 x 123 cm. Limited edition of 60 copies. Orders can be placed at: www.mip.at/en/shop/raising-flags-editions.
