Kiss Ass / Peter Orlovsky & Allen Ginsberg

Peter Orlovsky and Allen Ginsberg by Richard Avedon, New York City, December 30, 1963

My Bed is Covered Yellow

My bed is covered yellow - Oh Sun, I sit on you
Oh golden field I lay on you
Oh money I dream of you
       More, More, cried the bed - talk to me more -
Oh bed that taked the weight of the world -
       all the lost dreams laid on you
Oh bed that grows no hair, that cannot be fucked
       or can be fucked
Oh bed crumbs of all ages spiled on you
Oh yellow bed march to the sun whear yr journey will be done
Oh 50 lbs. of bed that takes 400 more lbs-
       how strong you are
Oh bed, only for man & not for animals

yellow bed when will the animals have equal rights?
Oh 4 legged bed off the floor forever built
Oh yellow bed all the news of the world
       lay on you at one time or another

Peter Orlovsky, 1957, Paris

Kiss Ass

Kissass is the Part of Peace

America will have to Kissass Mother Earth

Whites have to Kissass Blacks, for Peace & Pleasure,

Only Pathway to Peace, Kissass.

'Past Present (Past Presence)', wall installation, 2010

Some more pictures of my wall installation at the ***AD HOC*** exhibition i did together with Dania Burger and Peder K. Bugge, last week at Uferstudios (see post below). The installation consisted of 62 works on paper and 3 oil paintings.

The works on paper started as sketches or figure studies for new paintings. Using old fashion magazines, and selecting most neutral pictures of male models, I began erasing all fashion references with acrylic paint and ink. Does that sound Freudian...? It does, I'm afraid. Soon they became works in their own right, and I decided to put them up together with a selection of the oil paintings I did so far.
