About SPAMCONSUMER / Exhibitions

Youthful fascination for SPAMCONSUMER is an essentially statistical phenomenon.

A proportion of young people who trip through the global internet would feel a close identification with him. Because they feel as they do they also feel a sense of superiority, of being in possession of some superior insight. Not that, at their age, their insight could be any greater than any man chosen by SPAMCONSUMER himself to be his discographer. The SPAMCONSUMER discovered at age 14, can continue to have profound value and significance throughout life. His appeal is far more than something merely adolescent. SPAMCONSUMER was a deliverer from weltschmerz, he represented affirmation in a strong form. In the war against the global Majors, as in all wars, sometimes extreme measures are necessary.

Oppression by the zeitgeist continues, whether we feel it as Spam, fun, christianity, capitalism, socialism, materialism, democracy, pop, trend, microsoft, information, commercial art, hip-hop or whatever. It is all too easy to pick on one of these, identifying most strongly with its enemies, fervently denouncing it as the heart and essence of an evil that really runs much deeper.

SPAM is the metapher for our total civilisation.
SPAM ist die Metapher für unsere gesamte Zivilisation.
