There is a high degree of pedestrian compliance in Germany. I witnessed this one evening walking home from a biergarten at 2 a.m. A pile of students seemed to be loitering at a cross walk; but, actually, they were obediently waiting for the light to change. I thought this funny at the time. Where I come from, if there isn’t a car coming, we tend to view the traffic signal as a suggestion, not a rule – especially at that hour.
What I chalked up to a remnant of WWII era discipline was a little stereotypical. It turns out that 70% of German highways have no speed limit. The country is also ranked #1 in the world for beer consumption with the average citizen drinking 145 liters of beer per year. Now, that’s a cultural combo!
German artist Jonathan Meese makes his own rules. His work is best viewed where one can grasp its scale which is large and very in charge.

intriguing, reminds me of Basquait. I really like the green one in the middle(under”demokratisler”). It seems to have more depth of space, been worked on longer, more integration of color and shapes. There is a quick and sloppy quality to many of these that I have trouble appreciating.
