Readymades from Erni Bär, Germany--Tresspass Your Mind

The mind can be a vast thing: ocean-deep, cosmos-wide and in the distance, more distance. That's why Erni's instructions for the readymade art is so appreciated and valuable. I love anything that comes from the Off Scene Academie Hamburg. Wird ein Professor Rektor der Universitat, so nennt man ihn, "Magnifizenz".
With a title like "Miniature Tension Club" how can I not be curious? Thomas Peiter--I wish I could have met him. What a mind he must have had. If Erni admires him, then so do I. Wir sind alle sooo glücklich.

As Erni said, these ain't simple chocolate bars but signed works of interactive art.Laßt uns den Peiter mit einem Lied begrüßen!

From the Miniature Tension Club I received a small tree branch wrapped in wire (which I will not eat). I can feel the tension when I hold this piece and like the tension in the world, I really hope the wire doesn't come undone. Passen Sie doch auf!

Am I an artist? Hell ja! I will make new art from the wrappings and send it out around the world. Anyhow, that is what is in my mind. Of course I will enjoy this interactive art in the most profound and jolly way. Dann mache ich noch einen Spaziergang. Danke Herr Magnifizenz!
