RIGHT NOW
THE ORANGE PLAGUE UNVEILED AT THE EU PARLIAMENT
 
Dear , 
 
I just unveiled my controversial sculpture The Orange Plague inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. The three day exhibition is hosted by MEP Per Clausen (The Left), and we are all very exited to see how the exhiibtion is recieved by the decision makers of Europe. 
 
The sculpture shows a naked Donald Trump, covered in 23-carat gold leaf, sitting on the back of a frail man. He holds the scales of justice, while a golf club and a golf-ball globe lie beside him.
“The sculpture is not directed against the European Parliament. Quite the opposite. It is about the attempts by the great powers to dominate, control and reshape the world according to their own interests.”
 
“Trump is an extreme and very visible symbol of this development. I have made him naked and covered him in gold because sometimes satire can say things that political language cannot.”
— Jens Galschiøt
The work is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Emperor’s New Clothes and raises a simple question: How long will we allow ourselves to carry the powerful on our backs?
 
Every visitor to the exhibition will receive a 3D-printed miniature of the sculpture to take home – a small protest symbol and a reminder that resistance to the abuse of power can also begin with art, humour and debate.
 
The exhibition can only be seen inside the EU Parliament – but for you can join us live at 13:00 on  this Live Stream Link 
 
Kind regards,
 
Jens Galschiøt
Artist and sculptor

About Jens Galschiøt
 
Danish artist Jens Galschiøt has created many socio-critical sculptures and installations through the years. Most often they are placed in public spaces around the world – as needle-sticks and silent reminders of a world that, in his opinion, is out of balance, and where exploitation of the world’s resources, inequality and migration are a constant part of the picture.
