Sprayed With Tears

Die Kränken is a group of artists led by Jonesy and Jaime C. Knight formed in 2015 in response to the extensive holdings on gay motorcycle clubs in Southern California housed at ONE Archives. The group's name, translating to the "the sick" in German, references both the historical pathologization of homosexuality and the pandemic of a generation of gay men, while nodding to the Blue Max, a local motorcycle club founded in 1968 that fetishized Prussian military uniforms and culture. The exhibition at the ONE Archives presents the first two years of work by die Kränken, including LA/ATX Pocket Expo: the new rules of flagging and an installation leather bar featuring the video "Sprayed With Tears". The video is die Kränken's re-telling of the Blue Max's signature performance, "The Rose of No Man's Land," continuously adapted and performed by the motorcycle club between 1968 and 1993.
