peter Fuss

Let's get this out of the way. It was unavoidable that someday I would have to talk about something that used a proper noun that would mean I would have to capitalize my p's. Well guess what, one of my lovely, albeit a little tipsy, friends decided to spill some wine on my computer, so now my disk drive doesn't work and I have to copy and paste my p's. I just can't be bothered to copy and paste capital p's every time I need to. So with that in mind, here's peter Fuss:

peter Fuss is a polish artist who, still kickin it in poland, is maybe one of the most politically charged European artists today. His work is legal, illegal, beautiful, complex, and thought provoking. Dealing heavily with themes of religion and government, he has a stark and somewhat pessimistic style. All I can say is check his shit out. His "pictures for poor and rich" are caught somewhere between funny and uncomfortable. It's a definite statement (in a super Marxist way) about the commodification of art. It's amazing.

Beyond that, his instillations and street art are all biting in their assesments of the world in which Fuss is living. Come to think of it, I'm prett sure it's the world in which we all are living.

It's a shame that some of the pieces are referencing things in poland that most Americans won't understand, but Americans just can't be in on every joke, now can we? No, America, no. But even with that, they are still sick pieces. So give them a peep now, people. Maybe it will cheer pessimistic Mr. Fuss up a little.
