“ROCK ME AMADEUS BY FALCO VIA KARDINAL BY OTTO MUEHL” Ben Russell

Ben Russell

(3:00 video, color, sound, 2009)

A closely hewn remake of the first half of Viennese Actionist (and convicted sex offender) Otto Muehl’s 1967 film Kardinal with the following minor substitutions: the original woman is played by the artist, the original artist is played by a woman wearing a powdered wig, and the film is presented as a Karaoke sing-a-long to a tune by one of Otto Muehl’s more effete 80’s popstar countrymen.

Airing daily September 1 – October 31, during Cocktail Hour (starting at 5pm CDT)

English version on odd days, German version on even days!
