You can see Fred's penis in Germany all summer long. I am participating with a group of fellow artists this summer to knock the roof off of the Bismarck museum and paint the town red.
Well at least it may seem that way to the locals as this is a quite town with a population of older more conservative people. But the art showing should prove to be a bit provocative for the museum visitors as well. The show will last from 27th of May till 18th of September 2011 and will take place in the Museum Obere Saline, the original home of Otto von Bismarck while he was living in the town.
My contribution to the Otto von Bismarck themed show is of course a large wooden penis painted bright yellow and plastered with fine examples of ephemera from American high culture (Der Wienerschnitzel hot dog wrappers). This is part of an ongoing series of penis art I am creating, the first example was ceremoniously burned last year by Christine Tarantino in Wendell Massachusetts, during her fluxus happening Wood You Rock Me at Three? An art video of the event is available on DVD. The Second Penis artwork was painted purple and equipped with an hydraulic line to permit whipped cream to pass through the end of the penis during the filming of a scene in my art film Das Puppets. In this scene a near naked Mama Baer is dossed with tons of whipped cream before the Friends of FUZZ lick it off of her bear flesh.
