Santa Claus i ett post-strukturalistiskt konstperspektiv

Santa Claus i ett post-strukturalistiskt konstperspektiv

The years and decades move on (3250) and Santa Claus now thrives being in charge of both the art world and the Christmas world. It could have been almost perfect if it wasn't for the threat from the Martians. For quite some time the Martians have made threats of stealing Christmas one art peice a time without anyone taking them seriously since precautionary measures have been made in context of the art world. The methods used included a move of all exhibitions to around noon daytime cause the Martians (as well as humans) regarded art to be valued better at night time.

But then came the Martians base-installation on Moon and with that an attack (theft) on the recent Bærtling-exhibition in Australia. Daytime in Australia means nighttime on Moon and with the 'Deny' (Bærtling) and 'Iry' (Bærtling) in their hands not just the art world was threatened but also the transfer of the Bærtling's to include all existing life on Earth.

Santa soon found some new-won peace as he sent the Martians Tracey Emin's 'My Bed' and with that the Martians found a new lifestyle in going to sleep early and sleep all night. But the Martians then turned everything around again with some gene-coding allowing them to be able to stay up all day (and night) long without any sleep.

Santa Claus' new turn saw the Earthlings well in the front again after Santa Claus (and the Earthlings) sent the Martians Andy Warhol's 'Empire'. The Martians now could be seen of no threat as they spent all night long watching 'Empire' (every night) (8h).

The Martians then (on the counter-attack) saw to steal Empire State Building and so now they could watch the building on day-time (and steal art on nighttime) as the building is not included as a work of art.

But Santa Claus got the final word in when he sent the Martians a copy of the art film 'Santa Claus Conquers The Martians 2 - Bringing You The Art World'.

Santa Claus was once again victorious.

And so Christmas (and the world) was once again saved.
