THE MURMUR OF THE INNOCENTS
Mic Moroney
Helnwein catalogue for the Kilkenny Arts Festival 2001 | 01.Aug.2001 As I write, the Austrian artist, Gottfried Helnwein is wrestling excitedly with his first exhibition in the country which he recently made his home. The work spills out of Butler House, and up onto the festival streets of Kilkenny. These images are huge - in one case as big as six by nine metres, hoisted onto the facade of Kilkenny Castle. |

CUTTING EDGE
Aiden Dunne
The Irish Times | 01.Aug.2001 While it is a painting, Epiphany is typical in its almost interchangeable use of photography and painting: both played their part in the achievement of the eventual, quasi-photographic image. He is a fine photographer, and his photographic portraits of Kilkenny children (enlarged to an enormous scale) form one strand of his festival exhibitions. The careful adaptation of existing imagery is another trait, and his references extend back through fine art history as well as history itself... |

SHOCK ART
Medb Ruane
THE SUNDAY TIMES, Ireland (THE SUNDAY TIMES, culture, cover story) | 05.Aug.2001 The disturbing Work of Helnwein comes to Ireland Helnwein is a headline artist who works in tight sound bites on a very large scale. The works brand themselves with proof of his technical know-how in various media and are endorsed by the coolest celebrities of his generation. So much for the cover-story, so what lies within? Headlines lure you into stories that make you want to cry, smile or help to change the world. But when they stop at your own skin, you can get a sinking feeling, a sense of the bigness and badness outside and the impossibility of change. |

THIS YEAR'S KILKENNY ARTS FESTIVAL HELPED TAKE CHALLENGING WORK OUT OF THE GALLERY AND ONTO THE STREETS.
Aiden Dunne
The Irish Times | 20.Aug.2001 The point of the images is that they put it up to you as a viewer. Given that, one potential line of criticism is that they are designed solely to be provocative, like Marcus Harvey's portrait of Myra Hindley. But the abiding strength of Helnwein's work is that provocation is a means rather than an end; it is - however uncomfortable - morally grounded, if not necessarily in a way that will please all observers. |

THOUSANDS EXPECTED TO ATTEND ARTS FESTIVAL
Irish Indipendent (news) | 01.Aug.2001
RECORD numbers are expected to visit Kilkenny's art festival over the next week. Organisers say attendance at shows and exhibitions on the first weekend indicates that up to 80,000 people will have visited by the time the 10-day event finishes next Sunday. The main talking point of the festival is a series of paintings including one by world-renowned Austrian painter Gottfried Helnwein, who took an old photograph of Adolf Hitler surrounded by children and replaced it with the Madonna and Child surrounded by SS officers. Heinwein's paintings are hanging on a number of buildings around the city, including Kilkenny Castle, the National Irish Bank and the Watergate Theatre. Funding for the festival is the highest to date with the organisers receiving more than £400,000. |

CHILDHOOD DEFILED, STARKLY PORTRAYED
Patricia Deevy
Irish Independent | 01.Aug.2001 Once an agitated spectator wondered how an apparently nice man could produce such disturbing imagery. Helnwein replied: "What bothers you is the pictures that get triggered in your own head." Perusing a catalogue of his work in preparation for a meeting is a journey through disgust, fear, fascination and admiration to finally - almost - attachment. |

DISPUTE OVER NAZI IMAGES IS RESOLVED
Chris Dooley The Irish Times | 26.Jul.2001 A former mayor of the city, Mr. Paul Cuddihy, objected to a proposal to display one of the images on the City Hall after it was shown to members of Kilkenny Corporation on Monday night. After visiting the artist at his home in Co.Tipperary, however, the Fine Gael councillor said Mr. Helnwein was an "astonishinlgy good" artist whose works would have a "huge visual impact" on next month's festival. |
