Jonathan Meese has uploaded a bizarre new video to his YouTube channel “Propagandawerk” (propaganda work), in which, for over 15 long minutes, the controversial German artist delivers a scathing take-down of the art world’s reaction to the election of Donald Trump, announcing that democracy, as a system, is faulty and must be replaced with something new.
The monologue, titled Dr. Humprt TRUMPty de Large d’On, begins with Meese announcing that he is speaking as himself, rather than one of the tyrannical personae of his anarchic performances. “I, Jonathan Meese, say ‘I do not participate in the game called democracy.'”
