Tagebuch

Es gibt Tage, da gehen einem ganz viele Dinge am Kopf herum...
(oder sagt man «im Kopf»?)

... auf dem Weg nach San Francisco.

«Fellow Swiss Ursus Wehrli is the cleaning man of canvases and the author of "Tidying up art", a book where he takes the elements of paintings and "cleans them up". For example, he walks into Van Gogh's "Bedroom" with Photoshop and tidies up everything onto and under the bed ("this room hadn't been cleaned up since 1888", the year it was painted). Speaking with a Swiss-German accent, Wehrli is very funny. He shows the work he has done with works by Picasso, Bruegel's village square (which looks deserted "after I sent everyone home"), Niki de Saint-Phalle, Keith Haring, Paul Klee (he shows his 1930 coloured chalkboard Farbtafel: "you see that the artist had no idea how to use colors, or maybe he was in a hurry"), Jackson Pollock ("I decided to go all the way and just put the paint back into the cans"), and many others. He ends showing his most recent work: tidying up national flags. He claims that tidying up art is somehow an art in itself, and indeed it is.»
