K-Guy Intervju

Source: Onion magazine

It has been a while since my last interview here at Onion:Blogg. So to make an decent comback, I sent the London-based artist K-Guy a few questions. With his sharp comments on political, economic and religious affairs, he has made a name for himself the last couple of years, and especially with the brilliant “in loving memory”-installation outside the Bank of England in 2008. Here is what K-Guy had to say about the financial crisis, high politics and other things that pisses him off:

Could you tell us a little about yourself? Where you from, what you do?

Male and single… minded, GSOH, seeks wall to paint something arsey on.

As you made the brilliant  ”in loving memory of the boom economy” installation outside the Bank of England during the financial crisis, I assume that you are more interested in the subject than the average artist. As I am very interested in the subject myself, do you mind if I ask you some questions related to the crisis and the big business world? How did you came up with the “in loving memory…”-piece?

The idea for the ‘boom economy shrine’ was one of those concepts when everything just clicked into gear, one of those light bulb on moments when two elements unite as one perfectly. If my memory serves… at the time I was kind of bemused by the fact that the media via the government started using this Credit Crunch tag to soften the blow. To anyone with any intelligence and nouse this was a massive spin on the truth and the country was fucked by years of overspending and banks blatantly encouraging personal debt. Anyway, the subject was rattling around in my brain for a couple of days and while I was out and about driving, I noticed a shrine to a car accident victim, BING, light bulb on and I then spent 3 days putting it all together  and installed it on the Sunday.
