Prefiero que me … (I’ d rather Goya robbed me of sleep than any other arsehole) is the title of this witty piece dedicated to the artist Mike Kelley, who recently passed away. In the title and in the piece itself, writer Rodrigo García and director Emilio García Wehbi refer to the famous black paintings of the Spanish artist Goya. The story deals with a man who collects his savings and takes his two children to Madrid to enjoy art, culture and the good life. But for all his elevated ambitions, it seems impossible to escape from popular culture, which keeps popping up everywhere – while his children keep nagging him to go to Disneyland. All of which prompts the question whether ‘ high art’ still has a place in our modern consumer society.
