It was intended to have this tournament for a Full Moon on August 15th. But psychic workers peregrines got to Bulgaria too late so there was no chance to attend Arkutino for the time appointed and then the decision was made to postpone the game in Arkutino for August 29th – on the way back from Alinja to Bucharest.
On August 29th DAMTP’s parked their cars at hotel “Arkutino Family Resort” and took the path on the left (when facing the sea). They passed a small house, turned left, climbed some concrete stairs, went through some gate and got to the concrete constructions of unfinished building where supposed to be a school of arts for gifted children. In the 1970s that was the mostly ambitious initiative by Lyudmila Todorova Zhivkova, daughter of Bulgaria’s socialist leader. She was obsessed with founding the art education center in Arkutino, which would house gifted children from countries around the world. After unexpected death of Lyudmila’s in 1981 her father, Prime Minister Todor Zhivkov, set out to honour her wish. He began construction of the massive complex in 1985, but in 1989 as Soviet Block crumbled the project was halted. It’s symptomatic that exactly the same years and similar circumstances accompany appearing of Alytus Art School (Lithuania), which was founded by local communist party leader (to have place for art education for his daughters). The Art School for Alytus was designed in 1980 and the beginning of the construction took on 1985. It was finished in 1986 – before the 1989 – and so avoided the same fate as Arkutino’s.
Art education in the Soviet Block countries was part of the ideology and was equally accessible to all classes of the society. It’s important to note that there was not only “socialist realism” what dominated those schools, but were fully tolerated also modernism and nationalist tendencies. The first blast onto socialization of the arts appeared in early 90’s – the most of the art schools were left for a gradual extinction with exception of the elitist ones – those were redesigned for the higher class off-springs.
Art in the soviet times was understood very much as labour, but artists themselves hold attitudes of very much counter-working-class – as they called themselves being “intelligentsia”. In Lithuania the pro-bourgeoisie nationalist movements in the late 80’s appeared mostly in the art schools. The biggest shift happens in arts in 90’s – art ceased to be a labour, and artists started to obtain entrepreneurship shape. What happen to those schools then? There is a joke which well illustrates the answer: the art schools were founded by communist functionaries; it became a shelter for conservative artists and their students got fully prepared to fit liberalism. What is still living in those schools – that the meaning there is still created by physical destruction of the resources instead of just consuming fashionable terms and concepts.
DAMTP’s finally arranged the 3SF World Cup of unrealized possibilities by kicking ball into building construction’s to-be-windows holes. The world cup ended without any goal conceded. The formulation of the goal was too high to be achieved. After the game everybody jumped into the Black Sea lagoon to swim.
TRANSMITTIVE 3SF WORLD CUP IN KALIAKRA: AUGUST 15TH

The Kaliakra transmitter build in 1988 – was intended to act as a relay transmitter for Southeast Europe, but construction stopped a year later after the collapse of communism. At that time, nine of the ten planned masts had been completed. For a long time they stood unused but just before arriving DAMTP’s it got demolished. And so the whole sea of 3sf pitches floating in the air got erased from physical and psychic access. But it is still the place to launch the (c)overt energy weapon harassment of the aposTATEs. DAMTP peregrines spend some time to find the concrete places and basements the pillars were mounted on. The concrete arrangements for the fixing of the strains were still present and marked perfect circles around each pillar’s basement. Those were the perfect pitches for the 3SF World Cup.
While wondering around in the field where radio transmitting station was located 9 workers succeed to find 9 electrical ceramic rods. When the game was played each the player was holding a rod in her/his hand. Every goal was met with the contacting the rods and the game ended with the psychic energy shortcut when all the rods of all players got connected.
Almost at the same time in London some 3SF reactionaries got tempted to accept invitation from Tate Modern to exhibit (i.e. bourgeoisify) the great tool for construction of the revolutionary situation. And they did when the ones able to protest this mockery will be on peregrination. Psychic attack of 3SF Kaliakra transmission was directed towards Tate’s colonialist approach and corruption of 3SF descendants. The miserable fetishes collected by those clowns for the exhibition at Tate’s were eventually stolen by suddenly enlightened kids. In London nobody knew were the enlightenment came from.
There in Kaliakra came off the ball a pentagon patch for Welsh.
One of the transmission rods was used later on the same day - few copies of DAMTP paper issue No.19 were wrapped on and thrown into the location which coordinates are 43°15’26.6”N and 27°54’36.2”E. Just because it contained some matters which could bring into additional danger to peregrines when entering Turkey.

Sculptor and gallerist Howard McCalebb some years ago had an idea to join forces of fellow artists and to buy property located on a border of Saturn and Venus towns is adjacent to the freshwater Lake Razelm and a public park – and is a 4-minute walk to the Black Sea Coast, which is one of the best large natural beaches on the Romanian seaside. His dream was to have a Razelm Contemporary Art Center and Venus Biennial in former Razelm Convention Center, abandoned since Ceaușescu times broke. This was a utopian idea of paradise for artists willing to have an alternative to Venice biennial of corrupted psychic activities. And it doesn’t fulfil because majority of artists are not the ones to invest into dreams.
But psychic workers in contrast to bourgeois artists sometimes do invest into failed dreams. DAMTP peregrines attended the site, wandered inside the building, their eyes followed the climbing grass route through the ceiling and held a conventional 3SF World Cup as it was announced in advance. Every player got much of dust and sand into the lungs, mouth, and (h)ear.
INFINITE FOOTBALL WORLD CUP IN VASLUI: AUGUST 14TH, 12PC

- Written by Alytus Biennial Reversion into Abolition of Culture And Distribution of its Aberrant Bacillus Right Abroad - Committee (ABRACADABRA-C)
Before arriving to Vaslui some DAMTPs had a wish to meet Laurențiu Ginghină, who got some fame from a recent movie, telling a story how non-aggressive form of off-football was invented. Inventor himself called it Infinite Football. So far none from DAMTP‘s succeed to contact the inventor nor [probably] even tried. So the arriving into Vaslui was not accompanied with any pre-planned actions: the promise of the concept of Infinite Football already gave some expectations that there is enough to kick a ball and things will develop themselves. DAMTPs arrived into town in the morning of the working day, enjoyed everydayness of the traffic jam, hardly but eventually got parked the cars and walked all the road along the town watching for any situation to kick a ball into. There they found a stadium and down leading stairs to its entrance. This was a pitch with slight allusion to Odessa steps from Eisenstein’s movie. DAMTP’s did a game, Ginghină did not appeared, so psychic workers choose more revolutionary movie instead. And it revealed that Eisenstein’s notorious principles for film editing and montage in fact are based on triolectics and lettrism.
Marxist Eisenstein saw montage as a process which operated in the same way as a Marxist dialectic - which is a way of looking at the course of history as the perpetual conflict in which a thesis or force collides with an anti-thesis or counterforce to create a new phenomenon called a synthesis.
DAMTP triolectic provides 3 conflict situations instead of one in hegelist-marxist binarist thinking and ensures one conflict perpetually present.
Eisenstein saw the collision of a one shot or montage cell with another as creating conflict that produced a new idea. This new idea would become it’s own thesis and collide with another anti-thesis (or not necessary) creating yet another synthesis, which is not a synthesis anymore but a new idea. Again and again these dialectics build up in a film like a series of controlled explosions in an internal combustion engine, driving the film forward. In a very similar way it happens with the DAMTP self-organization – it was a triolectical game to reveal that its engine works.
On the subject of editing Eisenstein lists methods of montage or how these collisions between shots can be created each one building up in complexity. “Still is not a letter, but a hieroglyph rather” - Eisenstein used to say, and that is very close to the lettrist concept.
Space montage based on approximately equal possibilities to each team to concede a goal by summing up all (dis)advantages: for Vaslui there were staircase steps, handrail structures.
Time montage or Rhythmic – rotation principle, ball bumping down the stairs.
Class (Eisenstein called it dialectical) montage - creates relationships and self-organization between opposing visually-intellectual concepts. Eisenstein succeed to supersede the bourgeois style of continuity of “understandable” space and time as promoted by Griffith, but have reduced it to mere ideology (abstraction) and manipulation (symbolism). Class is neither abstraction nor symbolism.

BOTOȘANI: AUGUST 13TH, 12PC

It was the place, where Isidore Isou (born Goldstein) was born in on 29 January 1925 and there he had the series of revelations that would become lettrism.
Le 19 mars 1942, un Roumain de 17 ans, Isidore Isou, a une révélation en lisant la phrase de Hermann von Keyserling, "le poète dilate les vocables", qu'il a comprise de travers, vocable en roumain voulant dire "voyelle". Isou lit: "le poète dilate les voyelles", il s'en enchante et crée le lettrisme.
The lettrism was born out of mistake and that mistake was made in Botoșani. Latter with the help of Italian modernist poet and then fascist Giuseppe Ungaretti’s connections lettrism was incorporated into French colonialist culture and degenerated into avant-garde art. Therefore, Botoșani is the starting position for psychic workers’ peregrination in search for lettrist revelations not yet spoiled with avant-garde or art package. And so backwards to the last dream of Fazlallah Astarabadi before his execution in Alinja in 1394.
August 13, 12PC (vulg. 2019) approximately at 10AM part of the DAMTP peregrines decided to investigate the historically Jewish part of the town: first slammed the locked door of Jewish community centre, then inquired about Isidore Isou at the local tourist information centre, where nobody hear about him at all, and then strayed to the historical centre of Botoșani, where occasionally they found hundreds of bits of finely chopped cards. Being activists of post-surrealist urban poker workers from SOF and FIASCO carefully collected all the bits into plastic bags. Some bits, which hardly could be used for urban poker game, later were splashed and sticked onto the Botoșani-Alinja peregrination rout marking map so creating unexplainable marks for future investigations. That was the moment when the peregrination started – the first revelation happens.
At noon DAMTP peregrines (Double Agents International (DAI), NoMA, FIASCO, SOF and ABRACADABRA-C) joined together for lettrist yoga exercises in the main Botoșani city square so preparing for the meeting Dead Jewish Workers at 3SF world cup in Old Jewish Cemetery in Botoșani at 25 Independentei St. DAMTP’s did not succeed to enter the cemetery just because it was fenced to prevent public entrance and gawping. There was a need of efforts to view the location through the holes in the fence or by climbing to have an eye above the top of the fence: there were left very few gravestones in a grass overgrown territory which seemed was not stepped by human foot for many years.

The event was not scheduled in advance and arranged in situ with the task to reproletarize local art gallerists, which were friends to one of DAMTPs who is still concerning himself to be a double agent due to class consciousness. The pitch, framed by the evenly planted trees and so being perfect for 3SF, was found in the park near-by the central city square.
All players agreed on continuous improvement of the rules during the game. First was played a routine game so everybody got into the basics of 3SF, and then the World Cup started to take shape in: first third of the game was agreed to be played without running (i.e. walking, i.e. one leg of the player should be in touch with the ground). Penalty for running was to stay frozen in one place for upcoming few minutes (nobody took care of the penalty duration). Second third was played by players standing in a chosen place in a pitch. The penalty for any relocation of the body in the pitch was to continue the game in a sitting position. In the moment when ball leaves the pitch there were two options: either to ask for spectators or passers-by to pass a ball, or to go for the ball her/him-self so getting penalty to sit-in for the rest of the time. The result was that passers-by and spectators got much more active than the players. The third part of the game was played by all players sitting inside the pitch. The penalty for standing up or relocation of the body into another place was to lay-in. The highlight of the game was founding out that throwing a shoe to hit a ball could be a substitute for kicking. Game ended when all players were laying down, shoes were thrown around and passers-by walking around, kicking a ball.
The scheduled Animist World Cup by the lake Sfânta Ana was cancelled because DAMTPs got too late to the place. And so far grizzlies team came in time they didn’t wait for humanoids - they left location by winning event before DAMTPs to appear, and technical defeat for all humanoid 3SF teams was credited 0 by 0 by 20. It means that the next 3SF World Cup to happen not in London, but in a deep Transylvanian forest with attendance only those humanoid teams to be controlled by wild animals. The message to DAMTPs was delivered by the visiting tourists who succeed to record grizzlies team announcement. Instead peregrines did a swimming in the lake as striking biennial practice as introduced by Stewart Home already during Art Strike Biennial in Alytus in 2PC (vulg. 2009). Especially that the swimming in the lake was forbidden.
CAVES IN BUZAU MOUNTAINS: AUGUST 11

DAMTP’s knew the Early Christian times reminiscent caves could be found on the territory called Luana’s Land (Tara Luanei), situated near Alunis, Nucu and Colti villages. They did a trip to Buzau mountains on August 11th, which is notorious as Japanese Mountain Day. There was said that caves, cells and churches carved in stone in first centuries of Christianity were used as places of refuge and worship, but now it starts to obtain the shape of tourist site with the differentiated length of tracks and tickets selling. This activity now resembles improvised cash-in by pirate looking like guys, but it gonna be changed for more “continental” version very soon. And that fits well with the idea of Christianisation developed into a colonization.
One of the cells belonged to the monk Dionisie, who, the legend says, made the road to his dwelling as complicated as possible, because he liked to be alone. Peregrine DAMTP‘s succeed to find just one of all 30 cave settlements in those mountains. And it was exactly the one hardest to be found.
Peregrines did a prompt 3SF World Cup. FIASCO started to bounce a ball and did a sound event, signalling the 12th anniversary of the end of the Age of Divinity.

In 7PC (vulg. 2014) it was foretold that in five years the Lopătari (psychic strike) Biennale would take place, heralding the age of the Proletariat.
On August 10th DAMTP peregrines (following early [Karl] Marx to [Stewart] Home) started as car mechanics in Bucharest; later then they became proletarian psycho-signallers in Săpoca; afternoon they spend reconciling dead workers with global tectonic movements in Scortoasa (Berca); and late night ended as critical critics in Lopătari. Then there they got incredible countryside dinner and continued with the best Alytus Psychic Strike Biennial line to taste (not to drink as bourgeois artists used to do during the Age of Divinity) wine and/or stronger alcohols made from local grapes, and to eat [water] melons - all in industrial amounts. Many of not eaten and/or tasted items were taken to the cars as food supply. According to Fazlallah’s: fasting is not necessary during travelling, because a body in motion could not become host of letters, so emptying it is besides the point. Following lettrist position the last melon was eaten in Edirne on August 15th, but the last bottle of grape alcohol was irradiated while scanning the car by Turkish custom officials and because of that was left facing the Ararat/Agri mountain on the Azerbaijan-Turkish border on August 24th. The last drop of wine was tasted in ferryboat in a very centre of the Black Sea – this moment marked the end of the Lopătari (psychic strike) Biennale.
When leaving Lopătari DAMTP‘s stopped at seeming salty mountain, climbed it and tasted what looked like salt. And it was salt.
BERCA MUD VOLCANOES ANIMIST 3SF WORLD CUP: AUGUST 10th, 12PC

Terrestrial mud volcanoes occur where high fluid pressure in the deep subsurface results in the triolectic interaction of mud, water and gas on the way to the surface. This process creates transformative morphology of the unique rich in methane and other hydrocarbons, and hosting a suite of electron acceptors including oxygen, nitrate, iron, manganese and sulfate. And all those are mostly the letters delivered by dead workers. And that was a different case from what was expected at least by ABRACADABRA-C to continue the clay therapy applications started in Alytus Psychic Strike Biennial in 8PC (vulg. 2015).
First of all, thousands of mud volcanoes exist worldwide, defining and affecting the habitat and the daily lives of the millions of people living amongst them. One can follow the rules’ set up letting to conceive one more accumulation of capital in a form of spectacle; or to break the rules and step into the mud so destroying the spectacle, or to invent new rules of the game right on the spot. Peregrines chose the pitch for 3SF quite far away from tourists’ path in a deep tripartite ditch, formed by hardened mud flows and scrubbed by water. Amorphous surface and irregularity of the shapes of the ditches made ball to jump in an unpredictable trajectory.
Secondly, mud volcanism and mud volcano distribution is intimately related to the formation and the distribution of the world’s petroleum assets, thus serving as an indicator for valuable natural resources, destruction of which creates industrial (or capitalist) forms of meaning so specific to the Age of Divinity: world trade routes, trade markets and sources of raw materials, as well as military-strategic points, with few exceptions, were in the hands of the peoples of the West.
Thirdly, mud volcanoes offer an insight into otherwise hidden deep structural and diagenetic processes such as the formation of gas hydrates, mineral dissolution and transformation, degradation of organic material, high pressure/temperature-reactions, and dead workers advises. That is a model of what Mirsaid Sultan-Galiev called energetic materialism as differed from Eurocentric forms of historical and dialectical materialisms.
Lastly, mud volcanism generally involves voluminous generation and emission of both methane and carbon dioxide whereby most mud volcanoes serve as an efficient, natural source of greenhouse-gases and consequently play an important role in global climate dynamics.

The first event of Alytus psychic strike biennial (peregrination issue) was appointed to happen in Săpoca as Psychic Workers‘ 3SF World Cup on August 10th, 12PC (vulg. 2019). But incidentally it got extended up to August 18th.
Psychiatric Hospital and Safety Measures Săpoca is a hospital in Buzău County. It was founded in 1960 on the site of a school of crafts. Spitalul Săpoca is the largest of its kind in the country. The area around Săpoca was and still is inhabited by working class people – miners among them. It’s worth to keep in mind that the location is not far away from famous Transylvanian area famous of proletarian self-organization. There were the miners of Jiu Valley and workers of Brasov who did the largest strikes since 70-ies. Also the most of criminals during the communist regime in Romania were the workers from the region. Seems that there was not enough to have crafts school as a tool for suppression of working class youth. Instead the psychiatric hospital was designed to host working class people – the fact breaks the famous Eastern European stereotype of intellectuals being held in psychiatric hospitals to break the resistance. In reality psychiatric hospital was a tool for communist regimes to break worker’s movements while internationally were escalated just single cases of intelligentsia.
They Think it’s All Over... It is Then!

Six years ago, in sixth year of the Proletarian Calendar [2013 Vulg.], Strategic Optimism Football club was formed in London. It was created by former members of the nomadic invisible college, the University for Strategic Optimism as a vehicle for its own self-abolition. The UfSO had been a revolutionary tendency within the UK student movement, instrumental in various conflicts with the State and Capital around 3-6PC [2010-13 vulg.]. It is remembered for its part in the storming of the Tory party HQ, of Lewisham Town Hall, the Battle of Parliament Square, etc, as well as triggering a series of viral bank occupations that in turn lit the touch paper for the Indignados and Occupy Movements. However, as a result of this fame, UfSO grew tired of fending of speaking invitations from ‘radical’ art and political organisations, increasingly finding itself recuperated by cultural institutions, from the Museum of London to the fashion supplement of the NY Times – basically anywhere ‘radical chic’ could bump up the sales figures.
The UfSO had only its time. By 6PC [2013 vulg.] the movement of which it was one of the more advanced practical-theoretical elements had dissipated and disintegrated. Even just one year after its founding, the major part of the UfSO’s energy and resources had been diverted into the Occupy movement and the UK and global struggles of 3-4PC [2011 vulg.] more broadly. One can see that in hindsight, this loss of practical coherence manifested in the UfSO’s descent into abstract theorising, resulting in internal wrangling and splits within the group. Internal sexual tumult, along with drug and alcohol addictions played their part, like they do in all good stories, but it was ultimately a political decomposition that brought about an end to the UfSO’s more radical phase of operations. From 6PC [2012 vulg.] on, its direct actions more or less ceased, it became solely an abstract venue for thinking and writing – in short it became another off-shoot of academia. The UfSO’s radicality had always inhered in its praxis, in its practical critique of the university as an institution and the class relations that produce it. Without this praxis it was nothing. After a year or so of attempting to regroup, and thinking through the slow disintegration of the ‘2011 moment’, the remaining faculty of the UfSO decided that a continuing programme of practical critique had become impossible – it had never wished to become an avant-garde without a movement. For a short while the UfSO then turned to thinking through and attempting to put across the insights that it had gained into the nature of radical pedagogy. When it became clear it had said all it had to say on the matter, and that such a project could more effectively be pursued through other groups, the last remaining participants took the decision to dissolve the UfSO as an active
organisation.
In order to do so, it was necessary to put the ‘legacy’ of the UfSO beyond reach of the would-be cultural assassins and profiteers of the worlds of art and politics. For that, what was needed was their practical supersession, something that was to be found in the collective game of three-sided football. Three-sided football was chosen because, truly, it has no author, it is and always was collectively elaborated. It was chosen because it has always remained continually in a state of triolectical incoherence and experiment – as a really existing movement. Most importantly, it was chosen as it extended the practical critique of capitalist social relations that the UfSO had, at its peak, embodied
So it was that in 6PC [2013 vulg.], the UfSO announced its auto-dissolution, but simultaneously the formation of a new triolectical football team; Strategic Optimism Football (SOF) was born. Declaring that it was triolectically inverting Marcel Duchamp’s well-known gesture of “definitively abandoning” art in favour of chess. In their case, the UfSO gave up art and politics, in order to play 3SF: the realisation and suppression of football. However, SOF’s first game was played under the banner of an international day of action against a neo-imperialist corporate land grab in the Roșia Montană region of Transylvania, rather casting doubt on this possibility from day one. Incidentally, it is a little-known fact that it was from this very game that one of three-sided football’s infamous tactical dissimulations, the so-called “Rosia’s (Triple) Cross”, obtained its name.

Šiandieninė Lietuvos meno pasaulio situacija net ir jo paties oficialių atstovų akimis ir žodžiais tapo nuobodi ir beformė: viskas pasiekta (įstota į NATO, AICA ir ES, laimėtas karas prieš bet kokią iš vidaus kylančią kritiką). Pagrįstai kyla klausimas, kokią gi funkciją šiandieninėje kapitalo prisigėrusioje visuomenėje atlieka meno institucijos? Kodėl naujai įsteigtas MO centras toks įkyriai, netgi isteriškai, agresyvus? Kodėl NDG (ir tas pats MO) pradėjo praeitį projektuoti į ateitį ir žada amžinąjį gyvenimą mirusiesiems, giminėms bei sau patiems? Kodėl nususo ŠMC? Ar tikrai reiktų džiaugtis Lietuvos paviljono „pasiekimais“ Venecijos bienalėje? Galbūt į šiuos klausimus padės atsakyti žinios iš Londono, į kurį pagal galimybes (ne)tiesiogiai orientavosi ir tebesiorientuoja visos minėtos institucijos. Prieš gerą dešimtmetį Vilniuje apsilankęs britų rašytojas Stewartas Home‘as atvirai pripažino, kad Vilniaus šiuolaikinis kultūrinis gyvenimas – tai pigi Londono imitacija. Netgi regionų gyventojai paskutinius kelis dešimtmečius Vilnių žymiai sėkmingiau susiranda Londone, nei pačiame Vilniuje.
Vis dėlto, dar reikėtų trumpo situacijos paaiškinimo. 2016 metais, grupė psichodarbininkų surengė nesankcionuotas trišalio futbolo rungtynes Tate Modern galerijoje, taip pat kitose Londono viešosiose (?) erdvėse. Tate Modern sureagavo iškviesdama apsaugą, ir, štai po trijų metų, organizuoja jau sankcionuotą, saugų projektą, skirtą „meno ir futbolo sąryšiui“, šiame projekte pakvietusi dalyvauti (kaip pasirodė) karjeros menininkus. Piniginė pakiša ir/arba karjeros galimybės ‒ viena efektyviausių priemonių.
Dėl laiko stygiaus nebūtina pasakoti gausybės niuansų (galbūt kada nors atsiras galimybė apie tai pakalbėti plačiau), užtenka paminėti, jog psichodarbininkai ir jų sąjūdis nenori būti siejami su oficialia kapitalistine meno institucijų (šiuolaikinio meno centrų, muziejų) ir megainstitucijų (bienalių) sistema. Maža to, savo veikla bando tą cinišką sistemą demaskuoti, o susiklosčius palankioms aplinkybėms, galbūt netgi sunaikinti. Žinoma, tai daroma ne grynai politinio aktyvizmo ar atviros destrukcijos formomis, tačiau kolektyvinės saviorganizacijos ir laisvos kūrybinės saviraiškos (nepainioti su sistemos peršama „meno“ sąvoka) pagrindu.
Joje nesivadovaujama oficialios meno sistemos biurokratine ir/ar komercine, t. y. normatyvine logika, nesilaikoma sistemos nustatytų karjerizmo ir subordinacijos taisyklių. Nors oficialioje sistemoje „menas“ juk visada nežinia kodėl susiejamas su „laisve“. Todėl ši veikla išryškina po „menu“ slypintį sistemos autoritariškumą ir manipuliacijas, taigi melą ir propagandą. O po ja slepiasi buržuazinė vartojimo ir socialinės stratifikacijos ‒ žemesniųjų socialinių klasių, kitų rasių engimo ir pan. ‒ ideologija.
Taigi, šios saviraiškos formos korumpuotai kolonialistinei sistemai tampa neparankios. Tiesa, meno sistema negali ar nenori atvirai demonstruoti arogancijos ir jėgos, nes ji remiasi demokratijos ir kūrybiškumo (creativity) mitologija. Žinoma, Lietuvoje, kaip ir daugelyje buvusių imperijų kolonijų, meno sistema gali kone atvirai demonstruoti galią ir būti arogantiška, kaip kad vienoje Coca Colos reklamų buvo skelbiama „because I can“ (nes aš galiu). Todėl išrandami nepatogių kontrkultūrinių sąjūdžių neutralizavimo būdai. Vienas efektyviausių ‒ simuliacijos arba sukeitimo principas. Pasisavinamos ir imituojamos kontrkultūrinių sąjūdžių idėjos, tačiau jau išvalytais nuo aktualaus turinio ir kritinių ketinimų, sistemai pelną kraunančiais, „kūrybiškumo“ ar „meninio avangardo“ pavidalais. Šis Tate Modern projektas ‒ tipiškas pavyzdys.
Tokiu būdu kritinis potencialas panaikinamas, nes jis įkurdinamas „baltajame kube“ ir pakeičiamas karjeros kuratoriais ir menininkais, trykštančiais pseudoidėjomis. Tokiu atveju konktrkultūrinių sąjūdžių atstovai sąmoningai klaidingai pateikiami tiesiog kaip irgi karjeros menininkai, tik „mažiau sėkmingi“, nei tie ‒ pakliuvę į prestižinį projektą... Taigi, tiesiog nepakankamai kūrybiški, o dažnai netgi nekultūringi, negatyvūs individai.
Šį principą galėtų iliustruoti kad ir tokia vietinės provincialios meno sistemos smulkmena. 2010 m. Vilniaus ŠMC rengto propagandinio oficiozinio projekto „Lietuvos dailė 2000‒2010 m.“ atidarymo spaudos konferencijoje kažkuri žurnalistė paklausė ŠMC direktoriaus ar buvo projekte atsisakiusiųjų dalyvauti menininkų? Netikėto klausimo išmuštas iš vėžių, direktorius nerišliai burbtelėjo, kad buvo du menininkai, žinoma, nenurodydamas jų pavardžių. O tada paskubomis pridūrė, kad „jie pateikė patenkinamas atsisakymo priežastis“ (mirk iš juoko!) O viena gretimai sėdėjusi garsi dailėtyrininkė, palaikydama direktorių, arogantiškai pro sukąstus dantis iškošė ‒ „tas atsisakymas dalyvauti, yra tik būdas dar labiau pasireklamuoti...“
Taigi, sistema naudoja veidrodžio principą. Jeigu kritiškai nusiteikusiųjų neišeina papirkti, tada bet kokį kritinį veiksmą savo atžvilgiu sistema pateikia kaip tą veiksmą atlikusiųjų oportunizmą ir savireklamą. Taigi, savo cinizmą perkelia į kritikuojančius. Kaip jau minėjome, imitaciniuose projektuose akcentuojamas „pozityvus kūrybiškumas“, būtinai šmėžuoja „kontekstas“ (kuris reiškia psichopatinius tarpusavio santykius), taip pat sistemos kalboje labai dažnos yra „tapatumo“ ir „tyrimo“ savitikslės sąvokos. Tada ši tautologija dar papildoma , „išskleidžiama“, įforminama tariamais „debatais“, „kūrybinėmis dirbtuvėmis“ ir „peržiūromis“.
Į šią prasmės simuliavimo mechaniką, taip pat ir Lietuvos šiuolaikinio meno sistemoje, labai dažnai įtraukiamas dar ir akademinis pasaulis. Įtraukiami vadinamieji teoretikai ‒ ne tik su sistema tiesiogiai susiję (karjeros) kuratoriai ir dailėtyros atstovai, tačiau ypatingai vertinami madingi (karjeros) filosofai, paprastai tariant ‒ šiuolaikiniai sofistai. Karjeros filosofai sisteminę propagandą kilsteli į aukštesnį lygmenį ‒ įpakuoja ją į solidų, rimtą (para)akademinį apvalkalą.
(Kolektyvinio) kūrybiškumo (creativity) biurokratinės simuliacijos, persimetę iš bienalizuotos sistemos, iškerojo taip pat ir meno edukacinėje sistemoje (pavyzdžiui, VDA meno doktorantų programose, Nidos meno kolonijos „kūrybinių dirbtuvių“, „debatų“ nesibaigiančiose simuliacijose, vainikuojamose kolektyvinio sriubos virimo ir valgymo apeigomis ir t. t.).
Pavyzdžių nors samčiu semk... Pavyzdžiui, VDA meno doktorantūros rėmuose organizuojama diskusija apie „pasipriešinimą galiai (sic!) ir meninį aktyvizmą“. Diskusiją moderuoja karjeros kuratorė ir dailės kritikė, kuri, kiek juokaujant, galima sakyti ‒ yra privatizavusi protesto kultūros temą. Solidumo įspūdžiui sustiprinti pasikviečiamas dar ir karjeros filosofas su, liaudiškai tariant, „gerai pakabintu liežuviu“. Šis filosofas, savo ruožtu, irgi yra privatizavęs tą pačią temą, tik kitoje ‒ filosofijos ‒ profesinėje sferoje.
Tada iš preliminaraus diskusijos dalyvių sąrašo (šventos ramybės dėlei) pašalinami tie, kurie gali diskusiją pakreipti saugaus formato scenarijuje nenumatyta linkme, taigi, gali iš tiesų ką nors pradėti kritikuoti (keista, kad apie juos iš viso buvo pagalvota). Ir pakeičiami tiesiog lojaliais sistemai, t. y., galiai, saugiais beveidžiais (karjeros) statistais. Taigi, galios institucijoje susimuliuojama diskusija apie „pasipriešinimą galiai“. Projektas užskaitomas kaip puikiai pavykęs, nes jam reikia ne tikros diskusijos, o tinkamai parinktos aktorių grupės, kalbančios abstrakcijomis, ir tiksliai atliekančios išmoktus vaidmenis. Užburtas ratas. Ir tai ne koks nepaprastas įvykis, o kasdienybė ‒ meno (ir edukacinės) sistemos veikimo standartas, klišė. O šio sisteminės simuliacijos formato esmė ‒ tiesiog ritualinė.
Taigi, sistemos simuliacijų tikrasis tikslas ‒ ne ieškoti prasmės, o ją paslėpti ir pakeisti tuščiaviduriais dublikatais. Prieš šią galingą propagandinę industriją itin sunku adekvačiai kovoti kritiniams sąjūdžiams ir idėjoms, sveikam protui apskritai. Oficiozinę meno sistemą visada gina arši subinlaižių karjeristų armija, sistema visada turi didesnius finansinius išteklius, žinoma, ir legitimacinę galią. Aišku, silpnoji kontrkultūrinių judėjimų pusė ta, kad dalis judėjimo dalyvių sąmoningai ar nesąmoningai yra užkrėsti sisteminio karjerizmo bacilos, paveikti menininko mentaliteto, todėl užkimba ant sistemos pakišų, kaip ir šiuo Tate Modern projekto atveju. Tada sistemai lengviau kontrkultūrinius sąjūdžius pateikti kaip „meninio avangardo“ sąjūdžius, kurie tenori išsikovoti sau šiltesnę vietelę meno sistemoje ir dailės istorijoje. Kas yra visiška netiesa, nes tikslas ‒ ne į jas patekti, o jas demaskuoti ir sunaikinti.
Taigi, Tate Modern kaip tik ir yra vienas simuliacijos gigantų ir monstrų. Institucijos tinklalapyje skelbiama, kad „futbolo“ projekte bus „tyrinėjami santykiai tarp futbolo, meno ir tapatumo“.[1] Žinoma, visos trys ‒ meno, futbolo ir tapatumo ‒ sąvokos suvokiamos išimtinai sistemos sankcionuotuose biurokratiniuose-komerciniuose rėmuose.
Sekantis žingsnis ‒ ši „tapatumo tyrinėjimų“ imitacija tuojau pat susiejama su prekiniais ženklais pagal visus rinkodaros ir pri(ch)vatizacijos dėsnius. Susaistoma su garsiais brandais ‒ figūruoja prestižinių komercinių-propagandinių renginių, kompanijų, futbolo klubų pavadinimai, futbolo ir kitų sričių žvaigždžių pavardės ir t. t. O visa ši propagandinė mišrainė pabaigai dar susiejama su konkrečiomis karjeros kuratorių ir menininkų pavardėmis. Taip propagandinis ideologinis-komercinis vartojimo ratas užsidaro. Maža to, atvirai iš kontrkultūrininkų pavogtos ir konjunktūrininkų perdirbtos idėjos tuojau pat tampa tų konjunktūrininkų nuosavybe ‒ tą pačią akimirką įsigalioja korporacijoms naudingos autorinės teisės, kurias „gina įstatymas“. Taip veikia bet kuri oficiali (meno) sistema, tame tarpe ir mūsų.
Taigi, reaguodami į Tate Modern ciniškas manipuliacijas, Londono psichodarbininkai paskelbė atsakymą, kurį čia ir pateikiame.

О МЕЧТЕ
- Details
- Written by Kęstutis Šapoka
Я ничем не примечателен, и рассказывать о себе, наверное, бессмысленно. Да и нелегко откровенничать. Но так, как я тоже считаю себя членом союза живых и мертвых работников психического труда, притом, мысленно участвую в этом путешествии по тропам раннего и/или позднего леттризма… притом, речь идет не столько обо мне, сколько о мечте… будет простительно упомянуть о себе. Иронично, что хотя я идеологически присоединяюсь к товарищам и к ихней (нашей) коллективной борьбе с капиталистической системой искусства, в тоже время я страдаю от социофобии – страха людей и коллективных сборищ – невротическим расстройством, порожденным именно капиталистическим строем. К тому же, побочный эффект этого расстройства – мне трудно путешествовать, находиться в чужих, незнакомых местах, притом, с незнакомыми людьми. Это наводит на меня жуткий страх. Потому, я в своей жизни, за границей был всего несколько раз, и то, не по своему желанию, а больше по стечению обстоятельств, больше по чужой воле и вине.
Ceaușescu Convention Center - LETTER to Friends
- Details
- Written by Howard McCalebb
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It is with great enthusiasm that I write to you, to share with you a small window of opportunity that is currently open to us.
As we all know, The Western art world has undergone tremendous changes over the past 50-years – caused mostly by gentrification. Artist established neighborhoods in New York like SoHo and Tribeca, and around the Western world are now ultra expensive – and the current reincarnation of Berlin is gentrifying at a rapid pace. The artists, ever creative in these endeavors, will no doubt find new places to migrate.
A friend of mine in Berlin whose family owns the 19-room Villa, on the Black Sea in Venus, Romania, has just informed me that just 50-meters from their property is an abandoned convention center that was built by the former Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, in the 1950s.
Since Ceausescu was deposed 1989, this property has been fenced off and has remained unused. The property has been protected and is in good condition. There has been no interior vandalism - and on the exterior a few outdoor lighting globes have been stolen, which can be easily replaced with inexpensive facsimiles.
I am told that this property van be purchased for between €300,000.00 and €400,000.00 Euros.
I am proposing that a group of us art people form an association, to purchase this complex, and convert it into an international art center. The Razelm Contemporary Art Cente Association would be an appropriate name for the group.
Romania joined the European Union (EU) on January 1st 2007.
Alytus Psychic Strike Biennial 2019: Quantumlettrist Psychopillgrimage travel from Botoşani to Alinja
- Details
- Written by Alytus Biennial Reversion into Abolition of Culture And Distribution of its Aberrant Bacillus Right Abroad - Committee (ABRACADABRA-C)
Botoşani (Romania) is the birth place of the last self proclaimed Messiah Isidore Isou (1925-2007) who was the founder of Lettrism and the location where the main postulates of lettrism were formulatad.
Alinja (Nakhichevan exclave of Azerbaijan) is the death place of the last of prophets Fazlallah Astarabadi (d. 1394) – the founder of Ḥurūfī (lettrist) movement.
Alytus Biennial took the year 2007 (the death year of Isidore Isou) to reshape it into Art Strike Biennial what eventually obtained the form of Psychic Strike Biennial.
Both Alytus (Lithuania) and Botoşani were founded arround the year 1400 and had some reverberations with the transformations of The Golden Horde.
The period between years 1394 and 2007 psychic workers (generated by Alytus biennial attendees) are used to call The Age of Divinity.
The event to happen on August 10th through 31, 2019 and planned as farewell to the Age of Divinity and welcoming a new age of something could be called The Age of Proletarian Animism
Few basic principles:
The event has no any symbolical meaning – this is rather about quantum time loops which are just very few to be listed above. The point is to look for the dreams of the psychic workers connected to Alytus events and re-located at the southern semi-circle of the Black Sea.
Its about unfulfilled dreams, and about spirituality which is left after embodying of the dreams comes to limit or ruins, about the catching those dreams and continuing on this path. Its about living. As some years ago Ben Morea in Alytus biennial has formulated – none of the former revolutionaries took seriously the liberation of spirituality and it was left to the mysticism of religions and/or cultural mystifications.
Lettrism is not an art form and it could be explained as the means that correspond elimination (or not inclusion) of neither abstraction (in writing/conceptualizing and/or visuality), nor symbolism; and transcends the separation of visuality and verbality. This is the main issue for the whole travel so far it incudes Fazlullah – the mystic, who lost his head because of invention of some letters while rewriting Curran, and Isou – the one, who introduced letrism to European avant-garde.
While trying to avoid abstraction and symbolicism during the Alytus Biennial events psychic workers elaborated few forms of construction of situation – that is what we aim to do at any selected site. The mostly developed form was that of 3 sided football (it derived out of lettrism through situationism when merged with quantum mechanics by Niels Bohr). 3SF was able to subsume various artistic specializations: constructing the goalposts from found materials (vulg. sculpture), stripes (vulg. painting, dress design), continuous reinvention of the rules and improvisation (vulg. performance art), sound production (vulg. music) etc.
Its already almost a year when we quit discussion on 3 sided football word cup organizing. So far Madrid event (2018) ended up victoriously for dead workers from Cementerio de La Almudena they took a lead on further organizing the worldcupism routine tradition. This time dead workers and abracadabra invites you all to join for the first 3 sided peregrination football world cups sequence which will start with the tournament in Scortoasa (Romania) on 10th August, 2019 and will end in Bucharest with black moon tournament on 30th August, Bucharest (exact place not appointed yet).
Dates and locations
- August 10th – Animist 3SF World Cup in Scortoasa (Romania) mud volcanoes field – besides having incredible and challenging site to play experimental form of soccer it also is great opportunity to get some resources of clay/mud which we were used for self-decoration and even healing in our activities. Also mud/clay culture in the area around the Black sea has a long lasting cultural tradition (the clay clinics in Soviet Union Crimea were immediately closed when western pharmacy took over the control of the medicine industry.
- August 11th, Psychic Workers 3SF World Cup in:
2.1. Sapoca (Romania) town – it has a biggest asylum for insane people.
Psychiatric Hospital and Safety Measures Sapoca is a hospital in Buzău County. It was founded in 1960 on the site of a school of crafts. Spitalul Săpoca is the largest of its kind in the country. More on Psychiatry Under Communist Dictatorship in Romania – here. apparently one of our comrades – Kęstutis Šapoka – recognized his own name in the location’s and also his interests (including doctoral thesis) correspond the location mood.
2.2. Bozioru, Buzau (Romania) – great place to start by (re)vitalizing our own telepathic abilities – a psychic worker is something to be. It‘s also about recognizing the location in the name of psychic worker‘s Demetru Dem. Demetrescu-Buzău – URMUZ
2.3. Sfentu Anna crater with a lake in the mountains, the exciting quality of the place is that there are many wild bears (grizzlies) around - so if they come to be included into the real animistic 3SF game – there are some reverberations with last year proposal for organizers of 3SF "world cup" in Madrid (they were organizing the event in corrida arena) to involve also the team of bulls – that resulted exclusion of psychic workers from the (footballers‘) event... this time we can realize the animist power – the event would be planned over the night so far grizlies usually appear then. We should elaborate the rule of technical defeat as apllied to 3SF for those teams who will decide to skip the particular games.
- August 12th – Dead workers‘ 3SF world cup in Botosani, Romania – possible location: old jewish cemetary.
- August 13th – Vasluj, Romania – (possibly) meeting Laurențiu Ginghină, who invented non-aggressive form of off-football – Infinite football - the idea is to combine his ideas with those of 3 sided football. So Infinite Football World Cup.
- August 14th – The Conventionally Transmittive 3SF World Cup in
5.1. Saturn, Romania (embodying into a dream of Howard McCalebb to arrange Razelm Contemporary Art Center and Venus biennial in abandoned convention center, build by former Romanian dictator Ceausescu near-by his own summer residency, which is now residency of current president of Romania) – the utopian idea of paradise for artists.
5.2. Kaliakra in Balgarevo (Bulgaria) – the Kaliakra transmitter build in 1988 – was intended to act as a relay transmitter for Southeast Europe, but construction stopped a year later after the collapse of communism. At that time, nine of the ten planned masts, some soaring more than 500 feet into the sky, had been completed. Today, they stand unused as a monument to the consolidated power the region was once known for – ideal place to play 3SF in terms of space and psychic openness.
- August 15th – The World Cup for Unrealized Possibilities of 3SF at Arkutino School for Gifted Children (Bulgaria) - an unfinished complex built for children from around the world sits abandoned on the Black Sea coastline.
- August 16th – Edirne (Turkey) - which from 1369 to 1453 was capital of the Ottoman Empire. It was here that "Certain accursed ones of no significance" were publicly burnt for their heretical lettrist opinions - some say Ali ul ʿAli, who was groom to Astarabadi himself met his end in this sorrowful affair (proposal from Fabian).
- August 16th-17th – Psychogeography in Istanbul - at the point where Europe and Asia have their supposed intercourse.
Majority of all participants will gather there - should be a great meeting.
- August 18th
9.1. Kütahya, Turkey– the city is famed for its tiles, and many downtown buildings are covered from tip to toe with ceramics. To this can be added swathes of unspoiled Ottoman architecture, museums housed in 14th-century seminaries, fantastic restaurants – and no tourist kitsch... it’s so easy to tune yourself into local culture in a place like this.
Aizanoi – ancient amfiteater and stadium....
9.2. Eskişehir - the old town here has tried to cash in on the current Turkish “Ottomania” trend, painting its imperial buildings in saffron, aquamarine, lime and other friendly colours. It makes for a truly enchanting scene, especially when the aforementioned colours are ignited at sunset; local tourists come in dribs and drabs, but foreign travellers stay away – the last note sounds promising. I would propose here to tune into colour.
- August 19th (Cappadokia)
- August 20th - Victoricidal 3SF World Cup in Boğazkale & Hattusa (Turkey) - one of the first mentioned cases of regicide - Mursili I was executed by his own soldiers in 1526 BC. This the question of boss in contemporary society – the question of organizing (3SF world cup) as well. Especially that in Hattusa there are remnants of some Hittites’ stuff resembling goalposts – some western historians were used to call it sculptures, or even art, but goalposts could be much more of use then art.
Amasya – a city which does actually receive a few foreign tourists. And so it should, for this is a place of great beauty – the city centre is squeezed into a tight valley, with charming Ottoman buildings peppering the northern flank, and a series of spectacular mosques piercing the skyline on the opposite side of the river. Some of the Ottoman buildings have been converted into boutique guesthouses; these intriguing wooden structures, so clever in their design, make a great place to kick back for a few days, especially when you throw in a few trips to the nearby steam baths, which themselves are a few centuries old.
Tokat – the main reason to visit is culinary – the chance to sample Tokat’s famously gigantic kebabs. They’re simply huge, a mixture of roast lamb, potatoes, aubergine, tomato and peppers, grilled under a bulb of garlic. My proposition – tuning into flavour.
Sivas – “real Turkey” city in the land. There’s a rarified quality to the air here, though this should come as no great surprise in a city sitting almost 1,300m above sea-level. At the very centre of Sivas lies the city’s pride and joy: a clutch of buildings – some whole, some in bits – dating back to Selçuk times. My own personal magnet is the swallow-filled courtyard of the Bürüciye Medresesi, a seminary founded in 1271.
- August 21 st
Doğubeyazıt (Ararat)
13-14. August 22-23rd – Nakhichevan, Azerbaijan and Əlincə (the shrine of Fazlullah Hurufi) – Huruffiyya 3SF World Cup; D.I.Y. sound making event in the mountains. Tune into sound.
- August 24th - Humanitarian 3SF World Cup in Kars (Turkey) - Monument to Humanity, at the unfinished monument to peace between Turkey and Armenia, long divided by a dispute over genocide. To finaly to burry nationalisms, inherited from bipolar football. Great place where destructive and psychic workers meet without ending-up into the victory of nationalisms.
Play in Ani and Die 3SF World Cup
- August 25th. Batumi.
17-19. August 26-28 – taking the ferry boat from Batumi or Poti (Georgia) to Varna or Burgas (Bulgaria) – desakalapatragraph (resuming of common experiences) and marin version of urban poker (game with found cards) on the deck acompanied by truck drivers and dolphins in a Black Sea.
- August 29th – The Petrified Workers 3SF World Cup in Slanchevo, Bulgaria - Pobiti Kamani Stones: Mysterious standing stone formations looks like a petrified forest – great site for 3SF.
- August 30th – the Black Super New Moon 3SF World Cup, Bucharest – exact location is not appointed yet.
You are welcome to join at any point... or you are free to choose whatsover another point on or near-by of our proposed route. Or join in a psychic way.
For the end – there is a story: in some late 19th century Siberian shamans hosted the souls of the revolutionaries of Paris Commune (those, who died unhappily and were disturbing the aether) and buried them in the lake Baikal. After that the amount of the fishes increased many times in Baikal. Hope something similar will happen in Black Sea as well.
