看起來不太可能會結婚的怪怪搖滾客瑪莉蓮曼森（Marilyn Manson）上週還真的舉行了結婚典禮，告別單身生涯。以嚇人的裝扮和音樂聞名的瑪莉蓮曼森上週六在愛爾蘭和他交往五年多的脫衣舞孃女友Dita Von Teese一起交換了結婚戒指，正式結為夫妻。這對怪怪夫妻的婚禮也很另類，他們沒有遵循任何宗教儀式，瑪莉蓮請來他的一位智利籍地下電影導演好友 Alejandro Jodorowsky來為他們證婚，婚禮舉行地點則選在曼森夫婦的奧地利另類藝術家好友Gottfried Helnwein在愛爾蘭的住處。整場婚禮十分低調，只有兩位新人相當親近的好友受邀到場觀禮，正如瑪莉蓮在之前接受訪問時所說的：「我的婚禮一定會很低調，因為婚禮的重點不在於熱鬧，我不想利用婚禮來增加我的曝光度。我希望我的婚禮是有意義的，而且會讓我們永難忘懷－不過永難忘懷可能有點難，因為到時候你可能已經喝醉了，不會記得什麼細節。」
瑪莉蓮在一年多前就向Dita求婚，Dita考慮了一年才答應瑪莉蓮，但是她還是不准瑪莉蓮參加告別單身派對。「她說的也是有理啦，」瑪莉蓮解釋道，「她說：『你在告別單身派對上能幹嘛？喝個酩酊大醉然後看小姐跳脫衣舞？那我每天都在跳，你看我就好了啊！』」 ...

The multi-day event — held at de La Poer Castle, County Tipperary, Ireland, home of the couple's friend, controversial Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein — included a non-denominational ceremony performed by Chilean underground film director (and Manson friend) Alejandro Jodorowsky, and the bride and groom exchanged personal vows. Manson and Jodorowsky, who directed "Santa Sangre," had been working together on a movie called "Abelcain," a project that has been suspended for the time being. ...

New York - Der 36-jährige US-Sänger und das drei Jahre jüngere Pinup-Model aus Michigan gaben sich nach Angaben des amerikanischen Magazins "People" am Samstag in Irland das Ja-Wort.
Die Zeremonie fand im Schloss Gurteen Le Poer in der irischen Grafschaft Tipperary statt. Der düstere Bau gehört dem österreichischen Künstler Gottfried Helnwein. Manson, der seine Vorliebe für das Okkulte und Satanismus in seiner Rockmusik auslebt, habe sich während eines Besuchs bei seinem Freund in die Gegend verliebt. ...

Shock-rocker Marilyn Manson tied the knot with his burlesque bride Dita Von Teese in a secret ceremony in Tipperary last night. The couple exchanged vows after dark at a private ceremony in the home of their artist friend Gottfried Helnwein.
The stately Irish castle where Helnwein lives with his family was transformed into a gothic fortress as pals including Lisa Marie Presley, Johnny Depp, Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie arrived for the event. As darkness fell, former stripper Dita, 32, walked through the gothic arches of the castle's Great Hall to the sound of a harp - dressed in a stunning gown designed by Vivienne Westwood and corset expert Mr. Pearl.

(LITTLE ROCK, AR) – The Arkansas Arts Center presents the fourth event of the à la cARTe fundraising party series in honor of the contentious artist Gottfried Helnwein on November 17, 2005.

In one large painting, a girl sits on the edge of a bed in a barren room, staring into space. A giant blue rabbit with sightless insect eyes stands before her, clad in some sort of military garb. Despite their proximity, the two figures seem to occupy different dimensions. The frightful effect of the rabbit figure appears to register more in us than in the child whose vision we may be spying on.
The vaguely erotic menace of the rabbit figure flares in another untitled picture in which a sort of Mad Hatter figure, all in yellow and masked, leans in to touch a sleeping girl with a gloved hand.
For all the pictures' realism and their echoes of Lewis Carroll, they evoke psychological rather than literal monstrosity: the betrayal of innocence by imagination as well as reality. ...

Help us find visual, aural, metaphors that will let others understand the importance of engagement in this process. Look at Helnwein's painting under Visual Sociology. I left it up. What was Helnwein saying? Why was he willing to offend. Why do Beau and Michael want to shake us up? How are those things related? Why did one of my students make a giant box that when opened had a lovely smiling face inside that said "F^&* the Patriot Act"?? Isn't that a lot like what Helnwein and Kiefer and Beuys were doing? Maybe saying "wake up and look at what you're doing?" ...

A virtuoso and a visionary with one eye behind the veil of the world, the other reflecting endless horror, beauty, loss, humour and melancholy - all with a steady hand. The position is supreme, the means are penetrating and the message as deep as it gets. To me the strange silent directness in Helnweins work is unrivaled, no other artist today tells the dim story of the world in a more disturbing and moving way. His work, views and perspectives are completely congruent and appeals to me in a very direct and personal way. ...

Aucune disposition d'âme n'a occupé si longtemps l'Occident. Les Grecs l'appelaient la bile noire (melangkholia, qui donnera le mot mélancolie). Aristote s'étonnait que cette humeur réputée néfaste touche la plupart des hommes d'exception. Elle est par tradition cause de souffrance et de folie, et sa désignation comme "maladie sacrée" implique une dualité. Les artistes de l'Antiquité la représentèrent sous la forme d'êtres pensifs, tête inclinée posée sur la main, regard perdu où se devine une sourde douleur. Au fil des siècles, l'image du mélancolique changera peu - 'le Portrait du Dr Gachet', de Van Gogh, ou la sculpture hyperréaliste de l'Australien Ron Mueck ('Big Man', 2000) respectent cette iconographie. Devenue saturnienne, puis reclassée dans la grande famille des dépressions, la mélancolie a toujours inspiré les artistes qui, pour en être victimes dans les périodes de doute et d'impuissance, connaissent son charme mortifère. Avec plus de 200 oeuvres, l'exposition se propose de vous introduire à cette richesse encore mal connue et met en évidence le rôle essentiel joué par la mélancolie dans les différentes formes de la création artistique en Europe, de Dürer à Goya en passant par Bruegel, Bosh, Arcimboldo, Watteau, La Tour, Füssli, Delacroix, Rodin, Munch, Baudelaire, Artaud, De Chirico, Picasso, Hopper... ...

ゴットフリート・ヘルンバイン（1948年10月8日ウィーン生まれ）は、オーストリア系アイルランド人の画家、写真家、兼パフォーマンスアーティスト。
ヘルンバインはウィーン美術アカデミー絵画科（Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Wien）で学ぶ。同大学にてマスタースクール賞（Meisterschulpreis）、後にカーディナル（枢機卿）ケーニヒ（王）賞、テオドル・ケルナー賞を受賞。
彼の初期の作品は主として傷ついた子供達を描いた超リアリスティックな水彩画、同時に彼は公共の場で実際に子供達を交えてそういったパフォーマンスを披露することも度々あった。ヘルンバインは概念的なアーティストであり、主として心理学的、社会学的な不安感や、歴史的問題、政治的話題を取り上げてきた。結果として彼の作品はしばしば挑発的と受けとめられ、物議をかもしてきた。彼は様々な手法と媒体を用い、画家、デッサン家、写真家、壁画家、彫刻家、そしてパフォーマンスアーティストとして作品を残してきた。ヘルンバインはまた、劇場、バレイ、オペラといった、舞台製作や衣装デザインでも知られている。その中にはハンブルク国立歌劇場、ベルリン・フォルクスビューン劇場やロサンゼルスオペラ座等がある。 ...
