'we like america and america likes us'

“”We Like America and America Likes Us” is a video projected onto the front window of a white Cadillac showing now at the Whitney Biennial. It’s an ambulance-limousine-like car, used in the film “Ghostbusters” once upon a time. Bruce High Quality Foundation, an anonymous group of artists, has rewritten the quote "I Like America & America Likes Me" by Joseph Beuys as title for their work. The United States as Beuys met in the seventies and the one this group describes differs and so does their works. Clips from media, You Tube, news, movies roll over us and create melancholy, sadness and love at the same time.

They make the Brucennial at the same time as the Whitney Biennial, but as they state: Harder. Better Faster. Stronger. The theme Miseducation “brings together 420 artists from 911 countries working in 666 discrete disciplines to reclaim education as part of an artist's ongoing practice beyond the principals of any one institution or experience.”  The group” aspires to invest the experience of public space with wonder, to resurrect art history from the bowels of despair, and to impregnate the institutions of art with the joy of man’s desiring.”  They have started their own free art school, yes, who dares to take part? Take a look at their website, participate and laugh out loud at some formulations and projects.  www.thebrucehighqualityfoundation.com
