He was somehow shy, you know, artist, and didn’t go into public much. One time, in the Sezession in Vienna, he was in an exhibition of his own work but people didn’t recognise him. It was funny to talk with Georg, when he explained his stuff to me and a few friends. I liked his strange language, read his books for the written stuff, but in audio, it was even more complicated. I think nobody really understood the complexity of the work. For example, I wanted to read “Die Konflikt Masche” but didn’t understand it until he pointed me to his actionistic happenings.<\/p>\n
Again, its strange. Now, when he’s dead I think of all the times when I saw him standing somewhere on an art event, often only in the background. He sometimes came to a place to just greet a few people (or no one), and then to suddenly hop away after 10 minutes. I wondered why he came at all, all the way down from his house the way to the center of vienna.<\/p>\n
hm, I wish I could have made a photo of me and him back then, as a reminder. Pity. Ok, so he left again, see him in Artists heaven.<\/p>\n
\nI will cite some here, if the other site goes down too, to keep the remembrance of him. <\/p>\n
