Earnestness is key

Whether repairing a car or baking a cake it is dedication that counts. Looking how to make things work better, that is Konstantin's passion. 

He always wishes you to "work" better too, not to work as in labour, no! It's not primarily about function, it's about honesty, it's about not bullshitting around.

And so it is, that we at MoMA Lemon recognize Earnestness. It isn't about being right or wrong, it's about wanting to be the best that you can be, to be honest about the task at hand & to laugh along the way. 

He see's people like I do, wasting their young years and missing the fire within themselves.

He is an atom bomb, wishing to wake you up to your own potential. This to us is the greatest education.

Ken Robinson has always been a great spokesman for the destruction of our present schooling system, a great inspiration to me personally & this video of Sir Ken Robinson's legendary TED video says it all, & with the greatest of british humour:

That's what art is, creatively it makes us ask questions, and sometimes there's no escape, like having a gun to your head.

"Gun to head", is a reference to Damien Hirst's exhibition, "Freeze"

Konstantin took my MoMA Lemon Peugeot Boxer to work for a few days so he could repair it in his lunch break.
