SPEND THE BEST CHRISTMAS TIME WITH US!
The Krasnals - Last Supper. Brothers in Arms 2009
2009.12.16-30 - time 12:00 - 18:00

We are pleased to invite all of you to a party with The Krasnals, at December 16th. That day will be an official meeting of dwarves, where you can meet members of our family living in the remotest corners of the globe, and establish direct contact with them.
Christmas time for us is always the really busy, because we help Santa Claus (We did his portrait, do you recognize who is it?). During the vernissage we want to raise funds for children for the center "Helenów" - from the auction that will be held at the opening.

And the show that we prepared - series of paintings "Last Supper / Brothers In Arms 2009" primarily refers to the idea of the annual rankings, describing reality of the last preceding period. 13 canvases measuring 270 x 120 cm is the kind of The Dwarves' ranking of the personalities that we think are important for the year 2009.
An interesting fact is that these are our paintings from the exhibition in Lille, in France from the festival EUROPE XXL. We painted for that exposition people who were important to us as local heroes from Poland, and now they have been superseded by other personalities, and - unfortunately repainted. Underlying concept of this cycle is also the idea of cyclicality and transformation. In subsequent years there will will be exchanged one image to another, as a result of sales or lower popularity. As it happens in a typical turbo-capitalism.

Thus, for 2009 we chose Michael Jackson, Polanski with a girl of Banksy, Wladimir Putin as Russkij Soldat, Madonna, Nazi Uklanski, Kaczynski with birthday greetings to Barbie, also Angelina Jolie - the first on the list of celebrities in 2009 mainly due to charitable work - in the role of Lara Croft on the Cross by Gilbert & George from their 2009 exhibition "The Church of England". Italian production is a bust with the Berlusconi and Ciciolina by Jeff Koons at the background of pussies by Gomulicki. There is a self-portrait of Disabled Whielki Dwarf as Santa Claus.
Barack Obama in Las Vegas - Current president of America is probably the biggest star and the most controversial media personality of this year - Nobel laureate who sends soldiers to war. He promotes America through the prism of entertainment straight from Las Vegas and through the to no one known area 51. Atomic bombs discreetly decorate his face, and above all, dominatas green U.S. dollar.
Bernard Madoff recently caused a lot of confusion, it identified with the favorite this year, the word "crisis". But laughing sarcasticaly he says: "I'm not the only one".
And Brad Pitt as the Inglorious Basterd of Tarantino.

Below you can see now a few fragments of the paintings, the rest will be in real soon. And after the exhibition - full documentation.

And - we will show on 16th our new movie - "La Grande Bouffe" in four chapters:
Charter 1 – „Macedonian night In Ohrid”
Chapter 2 – “Heaven”
Chapter 3 – “Revenge”
Chapter 4 – “Big watermelon”
Photos come from our recordings in the Balkans. The film referes to the extreme aspects of consumption - especially actual during Christmas. It is funny, hilarious, exotic, very touching and disgusting.

A few small fragments of the paintings:

The Krasnals in Tate Modern

We have just received the info from one of our fans from London, that our painting is hanging in Tate! And it's the part of Uklanski's installation. Otherwise we wouldn't be informed about it and wouldn't have any idea about it.

It turns out that the first picture of The Krasnals, in mid 2008, was bought by Piotr Uklański.
It was sold more than a year ago and now it emerged that he had bought it and decorated with it his exposure in the Pop Life exhibition at the Tate!

We wonder, however, whether he placed any description that it is our painting? Last times similar cases (as controversy over the painting "Paris Bar" Martin Kippenberger) are increasingly emerging in contemporary art, uncertainties related to the question who is the author of the work. Our story in short looks like that: about a year ago we sold a portrait signed by Whielki Krasnal "Poland - White-Red, Ole! / Piotr Uklański" to a person called Pearl. The image is signed at the back, and the purchaser received a certificate of authenticity. In the era of the art factories to sign your name on the work done by other people is normal practice, but our image was not painted on commission, or sold with the agreement of disclaiming the copyright. So its authorship is clear.

Basically, apart from these concerns, if it's true, we have another interesting fact in our CV. We participate in the Pop Life exhibition at Tate Modern along with Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, Keith Haring, Martin Kippenberger, Richard Prince, Pruit Early, Andrea Fraser, Maurizzio Catellan, Reena Spaulings, YBA, and others.


Welcome till the January 17 - it's one of seldom occasions to see our painting in real, not only virtualy.

Michael Jackson charity song What more can I give

This time we give on the Great Heart Auction - the Big altruistic Heart of Michael Jackson and commercial Great Kitsch Hanging Heart of Jeff Koons sold in 2007 for 23.6 million dollars . With this painting we open up officially era of kitsch-pop-art in Poland! This painting is accompanied with the picture of Mhaly Krasnal - a Cover version of original painting - which was ordered in 7 years old randomly selected child. This is symbolic for this auction for children, both paintings create the wholeness, specific painting installation. And we are wonder what price will reach both hearts together - Michael Jackson's and Jeff Koons's in the implementation of dwarves (The Krasnals), the more that the target is the charity auction in contrast to Sotheby's auction! Last year, at the Great Heart Auction our painting reached the highest price - 31,000 PLN (about 10,000 USD), this year we believe that we will achieve double amount. Buyer will recieve two in one - two images together, but the crucial thing is - that it's the great work, of the highest quality! The image belongs to our Charity Paintings series made specifically for the charity auctions.

...

With these paintings we want to pay homage to the king of pop, which is a symbol of great ideas, even naive faith in natural goodness and love inherent in the sources of human nature. Not without significance is the fact that Michael Jackson gave to charity more than 300 million dollars, and was engaged in promoting that idea among others. He dedicated to it also his famous songs as What more can I give, We Are the World, and numerous concerts.
During his life he supported the greatest number of charitable organizations, including Childrenhelp USA - the largest charitable organization against child abuse. During his concerts he expressed a message of love and concern for the youngest. Michael never wanted to grow up and longed for a real, wonderful childhood. He missed it and wanted to prevent other children from suffering at any cost. But not only that was the reason for his charitable work and mission directed to the youngest. That's what he says:
"All my inspiration and everything I have done in my life, comes from the children. Every song that I sang, each dance. Only they have that purity and innocence. In the faces of children I see God. "

The king of pop was also a great lover and a symbol of KITCH. Accompanied by luxury, intemperance in the salvation of the world desire and lack of distance to himself. He liked to shine, he had a weakness for crystal-lined jackets, gold suits, shiny shoes, shiny military and chivalry gadgets. In art, the most admired luxury, pathos, idolatry, and large formats. But in this kitsch area he could compete with the king of kitsch art - Jeff Koons. His great kitschy Hanging Heart except 23.6 million dollars is distinguished by other impressive data. His perfect shiny surface is covered with more than ten layers of paint, was executed with the highest quality stainless steel, weighs over 1600 kg, measured 2.7 meters, its creation took more than 6000 hours of human labor. Great Jaff Koons's Hanging Heart is an example of the highest quality professional kitsch, and this area is reserved only for outstanding professionals. So the regular artist with a master degree in Fine Arts could not be able even if he wanted to deal with this. And what in the last dozen years has dominated Art in Poland? Any fart in gray followed by a proper support of the corporated art lobby guaranteed fame. (Current Polish mega pseudo-surrealists and other realistic or abstract artists are artificially created products. They lack imagination, enthusiasm, luster, there is no life in them, that's a miracle actually they are able to breathe.)

...

We declare that with this painting "Great Heart of MICHAEL JACKSON and JEFF KOONS from The Krasnals for children" we open style of kitsch-pop-art in Poland, we will promote, represent and create this style in Poland, and become its kings. Our new signature is symbolic for our kitsch-pop-art paintings - our initials TK (The Krasnals) - here as The Kings with a crown - inspired by the signature of Michael Jackson.

We Declare that we are closing phase of Polish sentymental gray art (minimal art, polish art, polish shit art), finish our masochistic national tendency to sink in a depressing gray and open the era of color, joyful, kitsch-pop-art. Let us enjoy consumerism honestly, without stings of remorse , especially in a time of crisis, let the real perfect kitsch host in great hearts of our viewers!

The Dwarfs (The Krasnals) bring joy and always help children!
All the best!
The Krasnals

...

P.S. the text is an integral part of our installations, written in the scribbler style, very kitschy and pop-art, so is to remain in such form and accompany the pictures during the auction!

If possible, we wish that the pictures were brought with the light thrown from the reflector on the paintings, and accompanied by the Michael Jackson's song "What more can I give". We hope that this can be made, the effect will be divine!
Our project for this auction consists of three basic components:
- Two paintings
- Text
- light effects and song of Michael Jackson "What more can I give"

The Krasnals - The Kings – MTV Kitch-Pop Channel

This video clip officially opens our music channel, which will show hits - music videos in a unique edition of The Krasnals - The Kings. Here comes the long-awaited joyous era of kitsch-pop art, which will finally break hated by a large audience Polish sphere of gray, boring, over intellectual art, all of this great Polish Art Shit, which we The Krasnals definitely are opposed.

For the purposes of this era, we will use our new logo which is inspired by Michael Jackson - our guru of pop and kitsch.

It is no coincidence that we start our TV station at the beginning of the autumn-winter season, because our music videos are recommended during that period when the depression comes by autumn-winter. We hope to contribute to a reduction of suicide statistics at that time. And that is precisely the social aspect of art involved in our new project. Depression is one of the major problems of our nation and we want to address it.

The video contains dramatic scenes that are not recommended for people under 18 years of age. If you are under 18 years old, you must not come here because it could badly affect the meticulously created by the different education systems your system of values!

Side effects: - Possible inappropriate behavior with respect to the surrounding reality, intolerable environment, which may cause that you want to become an artist or think you're krasnale (schizophrenia)

Inglorious Basterds - porno fate of some Marxist

The Krasnals. Whielki Krasnal "Nina Hartley - porno star / from the series Inglorious Basterds / and 'The biggest fuckers' / and Jewish Revenge by Quentin Tarantino" 2009. Olej na płótnie. 40 x 30 cm

Nina Hartley (born Marie Louise Hartman^[2] on March 11, 1959 in Berkeley, California) is an American pornographic actress, pornographic film director and sex educator.

Early life

Hartley was born to a Jewish family and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area.^[3] She is the youngest of four children,^[4] with an older sister and two older brothers.^[1] Her parents converted to Buddhism when she was young.^[5] After graduating high school in 1977,^[4] she attended San Francisco State University's undergraduate nursing school and graduated magna cum laude in 1985. She is a registered nurse.^[3]

[edit] Adult film career

In 1982, during her sophomore year of nursing school, she started working as a stripper at Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater.^[3]

She made her foray into the world of pornographic movies during her junior year, in 1984. Her debut performance was in the film Educating Nina, which was produced by the veteran porn star Juliet Anderson (better known as "Aunt Peg"), and this proved to be a massive hit. Since then she has gone on to feature in over 400 first-run adult films, and has become one of the most enduring and recognizable performers in the industry.

She said in an interview that she chose the name "Nina" because it was easy for Japanese tourists to say during the time she was a dancer in San Francisco. She chose "Hartley" because she liked the popular camera commercials Mariette Hartley was making with James Garner at the time.

Politically, Hartley considers herself a liberal and an outspoken sex-positive feminist.^[6] Addressing other women, she said "Sex isn't something men do to you. It isn't something men get out of you. Sex is something you dive into with gusto and like it every bit as much as he does." Hartley has been an advocate for the adult film industry's right to exist, and, before the rise to stardom of Jenna Jameson, had often been called on when television news programs and talk shows required an articulate, leading adult film actress to support the pro side. She appeared most notably on The Oprah Winfrey Show with fellow porn actress Ona Zee. The two came under hard scrutiny from the mostly female audience, but refused to back down and were outspoken in their support of the industry. She and Ona Zee also spoke out strongly against illegal drugs in the industry.

She was interviewed for Wendy McElroy's 1995 book XXX: A Woman's Right to Pornography. She relates how she was arrested in 1993 in Las Vegas, along with 10 other adult stars (later known as the "Erotic Eleven"), for having performed a lesbian show at an adult video industry fundraiser; an undercover police officer was present in the audience. Threatened with six to 12 years in prison for felony lesbianism and pandering, she was eventually allowed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor.^[7]

In addition to her more traditional roles in porn films, she has also produced, directed, and starred in a series of Guide to... films covering the entire sexual spectrum, from basic sexual intercourse and foreplay, to anal sex and bondage.

Hartley crossed over into mainstream Hollywood with an appearance in the 1997 film Boogie Nights, in which she played William H. Macy's serially unfaithful wife. She also appeared in the 1996 Canadian film Bubbles Galore.^[8]

Hartley is openly bisexual in her private life,^[9] and had what has been described as the longest stable relationship in the adult business, living in a ménage à trois with her husband Dave (whom she met when she was 19), and "wife" Bobby Lilly for 20 years. Hartley has since left that relationship, saying "I was too immature and he was too possessive. It didn't work... It ended up ending because it was the wrong three people involved."^[10] She has since married Ira Levine (aka Ernest Greene), a director of porn films, particularly BDSM films^[11]. They sometimes work together, as in The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women, directed by Tristan Taormino and Greene, and O: the Power of Submission, directed by Greene. In both of these films, Hartley plays supporting roles.

Hartley does not have any children due to a combination of a lack of interest and fibroid tumors,^[4] though she does have eight nieces and nephews.^[1]

Porn actor Lexington Steele stated in an interview in 2001 that sex with Nina Hartley was undoubtedly the best sex he has ever had.^[12]

Hartley remains active as of 2008. Appearing primarily in "mature"-themed pornography, she also has a line of "instructional" videos which are marketed under the "Nina Hartley's Guide" brand.^[13] In 2006 she published her first book Nina Hartley's Guide to Total Sex.^[14]

On October 3, 2008, Hustler announced that Hartley would play the part of Hillary Rodham Clinton in their film Who's Nailin' Paylin?, a pornographic parody of vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin with Lisa Ann in the role of Palin.
