Rysiek Prince ze Strefy Panamskiej

Poniewaz na warsztacie jest tekst o Sprytnym Ryśku, pozwalam sobie na kilka historyjek z jego rekawa.

Ryśek znany jest z refotografowania znanych/nieznanych kampanii reklamowych od konca lat 70-tych. Jeden z jego cyklow obiera sobie za bohatera krowiarza Mallboro. Oto jaka byla recepcja pierwszych pokazow tych uroczych prac: “At my first cowboy show, no one bought a single work. The gallery felt so bad about that, they bought one to make me feel better.” W 2005 roku jedna z odbitek z krowiarzem poszla jednak za ponad milion zielonych. Ryśek na to: “I’ve been extremely poor, and I’ve been extremely rich,” he says. Then, after another comic pause, he adds: “I prefer to be extremely rich. It’s that simple.”

W 2007 roku Rysiek zaprezentowal na targach w Londku samochod- 1970 Dodge Challenger, oczywiscie niezle podrasowany. Padlo pytanie: So is Untitled (2007) a car or a work of art? “It’s like art but isn’t,” Prince says. “The fact that it runs changes it. You can sit it in an art gallery, but then you can get in it and drive away. What happens to it when you do – does it lose the art? I think it does, and I like that.”

A na deser taka oto historyjka. Rysek urodzil sie w Panamie. Na tegorocznym weneckim Biennale mial zamiar zrobic Panamski Pawilon ale w konsekwencji skonczylo sie na plakacie. Oto jak przedstawia sie owa historyjka: ‘We tried to get Noriega out of jail. We wanted to fly him to Venice and sit him behind a desk so he could sign 8 x 10 glossies at $25 a pop. But Jeb Bush, the governor of Florida, (that’s where he’s still jailed) wouldn’t grant him a furlough. We promised to chaperone the former general, and even suggested putting him in an ankle bracelet (we were planning on engraving it with the name Scooter and maybe even editioning it), but in the end our efforts were rejected. So instead I made a poster with two Polish Lesbian Nurses. You’ve heard about the Polish Lesbians? They don’t like women.’

    Jeszcze taki watek Amerikanowski:
    If there exists a professorship in Americana, Richard Prince could hold the chair. And, like a professor, he has an academic detachment from his subject matter. At some point in our conversation, I observe that I’ve never met a real-life cowboy. “Neither have I,” he replies. “But it’s all pre-defined in some ways. It’s what attracts you, like shared information.”

    Take the 1970 Dodge Challenger he has rebuilt for Frieze, or its 1969 cousin, the Charger, two of which he is working on in the Body Shop [tak nazywa aluminiowa hale kolo swojego domu, gdzie majstruje]. “For those who know the films Bullitt, Vanishing Point or Two-Lane Blacktop, they are like a secret handshake. It’s like belonging to the Masons. You don’t have to communicate those things – they are just agreed upon, and they are very powerful.”
