ABOUT ME
REBECCA SCHOENSEE, art historian, about my work in a 2008 essay:
"The work of Joas Sebastian Nebe enters a dialogue with Viennes actionism. As opposed to open and brutal rebellion against established order as is characteristic of the works of Adofl Frohner, Nitsch and Muehl, Nebe uses means of narrative to expose hidden violence within contemporary structures. His work functions as reflector on important topics of the Viennese avantgarde movement, such as their use of archaic motifs and repeated referenece to ritual sacrifice. Thus Nebe creates a meta-discourse that discusses different artistic perspectives of rebellion against repressive social constraints. Whereas Viennes Actionsim is known for an excessive consideration fo orgiastic experience, Nebe blocks kathartic relief. Instead, the main focus on the implact of veiled resistance touches upon neglected issues such as passive aggressiveness, which cannot be released within the aestehtic function. By stressing that violence never be a solution to human problems Nebe's art transports an important sociopolitical statement. "
