Reward Poster Campaign in Perth

2006-04-20T05:59:00.000-07:00

Herb and Matz busy in Perth with a crazy poster campaign. Herb describes the campaign as:

The current A2 Poster campaign came about in response to this informative piece of 'street knowledge' stating (with love) that "THE SCENE IS DEAD". Since I ride past this wall every day on the way to TAFE, and after a good conversation with the City of Perth 'buff monster' who has to clean these tags, I decided to way-in to the discussion about "what is street art and what is vandalism" using a super simple wheatpaste poster campaign jointly inspired by Russell who suggested playing up the old "lost + found" posters (which you still occasionally see around the Neighbourhood when some ones cat goes missing or a bike gets stolen.)

Matz and I sat up to 2am brainstorming ideas, so-called slogans and call-to-action. And although at first they may seem silly individually, as a campaign of 25 Posters they actually form a scathing attack on the banality of Perth Street Art and inaction of those who share city spaces.

Plus, we pissed ourselves laughing the next day - A sure sign we weren't too far off the mark.
In the end, they indeed became REWARD POSTERS.

Das Ende des Liebesalarms im Sektor ist in Sicht.
Ich heiße Sie willkommen den Countdown mitzuzählen.
Freuen Sie sich auf ein Happyend, welches gleichzeitig das Fundament
für eine Neue Zeit legt.

Bleiben Sie wachsam. Erkennen Sie die Zeichen. Hören Sie auf Ihr Herz.

All for one. One for all.

Zeichen

Wer schon beim Aufstehen in der Früh
Im Geist den Feind zwingt in die Knie
Und denkt, wie er die guten Gaben
Ganz für sich allein kann haben,
An Gott nur glaubt, wenn er in Not,
Ihm niemals dankt für Wein und Brot.

Wer morgens in die Stiefel steigt
Und denkt, wem er die Sporen zeigt;
Wer Kriege führt in seiner Welt
Und Böses tut, wenn`s geht um Geld,
Der soll, wenn dann der Tag erlischt,
und die dunkle Nacht anbricht,
Keine Ruhe finden und soll leiden
Und die ganze Nacht lang weinen.

Der soll im Traum den Satan sehen
Und selber in die Knie gehen,
Und kein Gott soll Ihn je erblicken
Und alles Geld soll Ihn ersticken
Damit er morgens schwach und klein
Die Nacht soll Ihm ein Zeichen sein.

Von Herbz thought of this, 2005

Info/English version

2005-06-05T07:00:00.000-07:00

They are from Cologne, Berlin, London and Melbourne, and all of them are here. I am breathless. Unbelievable, one´s better looking then the other. They are chillin´ sexy in their casual-trendy streetwear. Sovereign like Louis XIIII. Zahar bring´s on the drinks. Champagne for the lady. Take a deep breath, first question.

Lady: What´s Undenk?

Paul: Undenk is a term from George Orwells 1984: „undenk means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in ones mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. ...to tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies – all this is indespansably necessary. even in using the word undenk it is necessary to exercise undenk. for by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of undenk one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinately, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth”.

Undenk understands itself as a project in visual hygienics.

Lady: How did it all start?

Matze™ scratches his head, put´s his index-finger on his lips and goes jolly: "Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and of having nothing to do. (...) So she was considering, in her own mind, whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit ran close by her. (...) she heard the Rabbit say to itself "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!"
The other night we´ve been together at the plenum. Russell just cooked some tea, as Paul started holering: “Hey, let´s do something with rabbits!
Everyone was tuned on immidiately. That´s cute, that´s catchy, that´s got a message, grand. „Sweet, mate“,Brendan shoutet, „we´ll make a million in no time!“ “Cool, and then we set it up as an street art projekt, i´ve heard that´s the next big thing!“ That was ten years ago. And today we are sitting here.

Distortion. Jason jumps up. “It´s our love you can´t handle!”
He urinates upon a picture of maggy thatcher, screaming. I try to neglect what i see. “Artists!” i think when suddenly a bottle of wodka passes the side of my head. What did we drank?
There once was a white rabbit. Chewing on his carrot, mjjjiiiooong, watching his clock - come on, it neither had a clock or a carrot, it was a plain white rabbit, with an outline and a bum-hole, at least. Can i have a look again, please? Cute. Really cute.

Lady: So what´s wrong with beards?

Brendan: Come on, let´s try again.

Jason: Always these commissioned jobs, i wanted to get over that after Carhartt.

Lady: In Dusseldorf /Rhine the local partys used stenciled posters for their election campaign?

Matz: Street art is dead, and we are the gravediggers. Only headlines come to my mind. That´s because of all this undenking. Always punchlines, punch, punch. Apart from that, i´d like to rais a fist for amateurdom, professionals ruin this world. You can know too much, after elementary school it should be called quits.

Lady: What holds the future for you fine lads?

Russell: There´ll be a franchise, McKinsey sets up a SharholderValue in astronomical heights. Everyone who´s paying is allowed to sticker rabbits. Besides, I would like to seize the chance of asking Christoph Daum to return to the FC Köln after all these years. Chris, if you are reading this: please, please come back, it wasn´t your fault!
Time to go. Bursting with laughter the evalator leaves. Undenk has left the building. I press my sleek body on the window front, The gentlemen just step outside the building and board the LoveBoat only to vanish into the pink horizon. I feel empty.

Die Künstler der Straße stürmten die Museen und Galerien, aber auch Werbeschaffende und sonstige kommerzielle Anbieter wie MTV bedienten sich der typischen Motive und Techniken. Kaum eine Veranstaltung, wie zuletzt die Bread and Butter in Berlin, die sich nicht Street Art–Künstler als schmückendes Beiwerk mit trendy Underground-Note an Bord holte. Der Ruf der Straße ereilt uns alle. Und was sagen die Betroffenen selber dazu? De:Bug sprach mit Matz, einem Mitglied der bereits im Jahr 2000 gegründeten Streetart-Gruppierung Undenk mit Vertretern in Berlin, Köln, London und Melbourne über den Ausverkauf im Überwachungsstaat und andere Widersprüchlichkeiten.

Was bedeutet Undenk?

Undenk ist ein Begriff aus George Orwells 1984: „undenk means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in ones mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. ...to tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies – all this is indespansably necessary. even in using the word undenk it is necessary to exercise undenk. for by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of undenk one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinately, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth”.

Wieso dieser Name und inwiefern kann man ihn auf unsere heutige Welt übertragen?

Erst einmal: wir leben in 1984. Geschichte wird umgeschrieben. Man denke nur mal an die gefälschten Bilder aus dem ersten Irak-Krieg. Zweitens: wir leben in einer Welt voller Widersprüche. Nichts ist wahr, alles ist erlaubt. Wer mir sagt, dass er sich einer Sache absolut sicher ist, liegt meiner Meinung nach total falsch.

Was bedeutet das für die Kommerzialisierung der Streetart? Kann, was als Protest begann, im Ausverkauf enden, wenn alles erlaubt ist? Inwieweit kann einer, der das System anprangert, dennoch von ihm profitieren?

Genau das sagt Undenk aus. Alles ist widersprüchlich. Kommerzieller Verkauf ist für uns möglich, da wir uns bei unserer Gründung kein Manifest gesetzt haben, dass uns irgendwie beschränken könnte. Unser Manifest ist vielmehr, kein Manifest zu haben. Wie gesagt: alles ist erlaubt. Undenk begreift sich als ein globales Experiment visueller Hygiene. Die Gesellschaft kotzt uns an, und wir kotzen es auf die Straße. Mich betrübt es, dass die Regenwälder abgeholzt werden, und dennoch nehm ich lieber den Flieger von Berlin nach Köln. Man könnte es kreative Resignation nennen. Ausverkauf ist es für mich dann, wenn keinerlei Botschaft mehr dahinter steht und nur noch die Ästhetik, der Style kopiert wird, wie es inzwischen leider viel zu oft der Fall ist.

Immer wiederkehrendes Motiv ist Winston, das weiße Kaninchen. Wo soll es uns hinführen?

Na, ins Wunderland natürlich! Das Wunderland ist eine verquere Spaß- und Kinderwelt, in der es jedem möglich ist, das zu tun, was er tun möchte. Eine Illusion.
