(Berlin, 23 August 2010) During a walk the other day I stumbled on a postcard on the floor - an oversized Swastika emblazoned on, including a naked Mickey Mouse. The work of Max Pape ski titled "nazi sexy mouse". The postcard advertises for an art exhibition called "abnormal nudes", from 4 take place September for a month in Poznan, Poland is. The symbol of the Nazi Mickymausierung slightly bizarre, if not playing down and accordingly asks for strong emotions: On several occasions, the staff of the gallery, which has a branch in Berlin, when Nazi abuses, they were even threatened with death. Large posters were to advertise the exhibition were broken several times.
The gallery owner, Roman Nowak, is justified in an open letter on his website www.abnormalsgallery.com : The use of Nazi symbols for artistic works is not illegal in Poland. Degradation and insult, is. Abundantly expressed unhappy, the owner compares his website with new galleries, "ghettos", the only room that can survive in the art today. This would, according to Nowak art form is to the task, be part of the company to ask questions to which we hope to answer, no destruction. Especially piquant: The abnormal Gallery is located next to the Old Synagogue, converted after the invasion of Poland by the Nazis into a swimming pool was.
