Z
Pickle flip
S
I read that in Rick’s voice. Noice
H
I whip my hair back and forth
N
He’s like, the Leonardo da Vinci of our time.
J
Those wooden holes ain’t just gonna knee-carrot fuck themselves
J
Yes, true genius. Erotic yet wholesome. Superfluous yet necessary. My emotions are torn like a baguette on a head.
J
My emotions are of the highest production quality like his experiments.
B
Found Werner Herzog’s assistant’s account. The real Werner Herzog doesn’t use technology like Reddit.
S
The real Werner Herzog is the pickle hair we flipped along the way.
S
Leonardo da Veggie
O
Maybe the turtle Before the radioactive exposure
C
The design is very human
T
A human after too much radiation. Turtles become awesome. Humans become resplarged.
U
It’s either art or fetish
R
WHY NOT BOTH??? HUH HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF BOTH?
B
I love this man. I hate his imitators and the changes to the art scene happening in their wake.. but.. genius is genius.. vicariously experincimg breaking cucumbers tied to that mans knees is just happy (Classically trained artist
K
Trump era Da Vinci.
J
I assume because of the pasta?
E
Which sadly says alot.
P
When AI has taken all our jobs so we are free to pursue the arts.

I cannot wait
C
I’m glad he’s moved on from jerking around with knives and balloons – I appreciate his work but was always waiting for him to lose a finger.
J
I remember watching some of his videos years ago and I’m pretty sure he injured himself with knives in at least one of his stunts before and had to go on a hiatus
G
“While working out in April 2020, Erichsen fell on a “knife sculpture” he had built for a video, requiring 25 stitches and multiple trips to the hospital.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Hakon_Erichsen

Yikes

Norwegian Artist Jan Hakon Erichsen: [https://www.janhakon.com/](https://www.janhakon.com/)

I was literally coming into the comments to see what kind of Scandinavian this dude is.
I
Lol I was gonna say Finnish but this screams Nordic.
L
looked danish to me
S
Despite the guy’s looks, I knew right away this was some Scandinavian art shit. This is peak Scandi and Nederlander humor.
F
“Artist”
J
“Norwegian”
P
“what” “do” “you” “mean” “?”
S
Ugh I hate this take of “it’s not a classical painting or something I don’t understand so its not art”. Performance art is a thing and has been for a long time. Go look at the guys other pieces, he 100% qualifies as an artist.
T
at least it’s better than 90% of performance art that’s some brainless yuppie’s very basic takes on world issues. if they can call themselves artists, anyone should be able to
H
Kinda like his stuff, it’s unpretendingly dumb and simple. Really looks like someone just fooling around
Z
He’s like a wholesome meth head.
R
Except for his facial expression, lol. The fact that he never cracks makes it so much funnier.
S
Just because it isn’t compatible with your preconceptions of art doesn’t mean it isn’t art.
T
Just because it is compatible with one persons preconceptions of art doesn’t mean it is art.
I
It kind of does though… I know everyone is going to get up on some high horse one way or the other, but what exactly is art if not something that someone calls art? Who gets to decide if something isn’t art? You or me?
S
Yeah, actually it does mean it’s art lol.
S
Yes, that’s the point. One can see it as paradoxical. Can anti-art exist?
D
Doesn’t anti-art become art by definition?
D
Is it just art all the way down?
D
no, but if you label something as anti art, you make it a statement by definition, which would make it art because it has a meaning beyond it’s physical properties. Like shrodingers art.
P
Anti-art explodes and turns to pure energy when it touches art.
T
lol this guy doesn’t know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder rofl
