On January 13th, 2012 Czech artist Martin Zet under the protection of Berlin Biennale ideologists published a call collect the copies of an openly racist anti-muslim Thilo Sarazzin‘s “Deutschland schafft sich ab” book from the German readers. This would be done through the established network of collection points around the country. Collected copies of the book would be then used to compose sculptures. After the Biennale show is over, the books are supposed to be recycled for better purposes. As a result of such proposal, Martin faced a blast of furious counter-reaction from both media and the public (for example http://www.berlinbiennale.de).
The Heinrich Heine slogan „Dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen“ ("Those who burn books will end up burning people") is embraced by neo-Nazis resisting the suppression of their “democratic freedom of speech“. One thing was Heine‘s point of view, but the true social-Darwinism doesn’t proceed "backwards" – those who have burned people once don't step back to burn books again. In Germany today they don’t burn books but still burn people, like Oury Jalloh (born in 1968 in Kabala, Sierra Leone, killed on the 7th January 2005 in the police cell in Dessau, Germany; see http://thevoiceforum.org).
да, вы правы, но гораздо жестче проблема есть отчуждение художника от просто свободного человека - и это только маленькая часть тотальной буржуазно-капиталистической специализации - по большему счету художник ни чем не отличается от политика - обе специализации есть про тотальной краже - большинство людей отчуждены от того, что принадлежит каждому свободному человеку - право на причастноть на принятие решений и право на свободу самовыражения.
Это и есть главной изходной точькой алитусских инициатив и худзабостовок. Кстати зрелищность не только (обычно) не придает еффективности, но наоборот - ваш реальный риск превращает в спектакль.
Это и есть почему мы приняли решение не идентифицироваться с артмиром и назвали себя с почетом самому нижнему пролетарьянскому слою - психические рабочие (те, которые создают смысл и требует контроля им диспонировать) и шахтеры данных.
Наша цель - всеобщая забастовка, а не привилегии для прослойки буржуазных художников и активистов!
Свобода возможна или сразу для всех или это просто очередная буржуазная привилегия. Все довольно сложно, но разберемся!
On December 12th, 2011 DAMTP in a concert with DEWOU-DAMTP invited for synchronized public eating & burning of bourgeois cultural propaganda so to commemorate first crusade's committing to cannibalism after the burning of Ma'arrat al-Numan and also for Nazi Lebensborn Project.
The action in Alytus was based on eating, devouring, munching & burning activities and further developed into hypergraphical/situgraphical experiment.

BURN BERLIN BABY BURN! DEVOUR CANNIBALIZED MUNCH!
December 12th is a double anniversary for the first crusade committing to cannibalism after the burning of Ma'arrat al-Numan and also for Nazi Lebensborn Project.
DAMTP is looking forward to develop a hypergraphical/situgraphical experiment from this December 12th event - based on burning or eating.
Ich bin damit einverstanden! Marina Naprushkina ist in der Berlin Biennale, die sich weigerten, unsere Reaktion auf sie anzuerkennen beteiligt! Sie sprechen von Kunst und Politik, aber wir wollen diese Kategorien zu zerstören! Die Arbeiterklasse schon immer von Kunst und Politik ausgeschlossen worden! Wir sollten noch weiter gehen und sie angreifen! Mit Blick auf die Berlin Biennale Blog kann ich sehen, dass sie so bei der Erhaltung des kulturellen Erbes des Nationalsozialismus interessiert - schließlich die liberale Demokratie ist wirklich die erweiterte Form des Faschismus!
The event was planned as DAMTP propaganda exhibition at DADAPOST, Berlin on October 15th - November 13th, 2011. It was directly addressed towards the artists to doubt their duty being artist and directing them towards becoming self aware psychic proletarians. The show consisted of two separated parts – one was traditionally formed by an artist/curator, who selected Berlin based artists. Another one was arranged by three [exhibition]workers – the space was filled up with DAMTP prints, post-produced or re-adapted propaganda papers – and some trans-inverted posters. Unfortunatelly it still looked very aesthetic. While the first part of the show held on the individuality and supposedly equal attention to each item – the DAMTP space provided a clear contrast of being in collectively in-divide-duality of spinning situlogy and therefore challenging to stop "making sense".
The concept of 99% turned itself into the mass of tended-to-be-represented folks not different from former 100%-ers represented in “we are all humans” system - usually named as bourgeois democracy.
We are outside from 100% of statistics based paneconomism which is deeply racist at its core.
We’re against oppression by plutocratic 1%-ers or that established by manipulative majority.
We are unmanageable multitude of selforganised zeros.
On the June 30th strike we joined with the Dead Workers Union to attack the Freemasonic Lodge in London and expand the union action beyond the limits of the freemasonic structure of the union movement.
On October 19, 2011, Vitaly Kalgin sent to mental asylum in Gaytyunishki (Belarus). The doctors promised to send a preliminary report to his wife, but did not. When arriving to visit her husband, she got to know the fact.
She expects a decision on one of the items she submitted to the Minsk City Court supervisory review: to suspend the resolution of the case by supervising the execution. The independent counsel laid out a 10 pages list of procedural violations in the case of Kalgin. [So far we know – the court suspended the resolution for the period of supervision of the case and Bismarck got release to wait for the final decision at home, but it did not happen smooth…]
The Belarusian avant-garde artist Bismarck was convicted by Belarusian court and sentenced to 5 years of compulsory psychiatric treatment.
Today the activists and residents have been removed by riot police and bailiffs at Dale Farm – the largest travellers site in Europe. This year has seen mass deportations and arrests of travellers across Europe and it is no surprise that the 10 year dispute over Dale Farm was to be resolved by the use of illegal weapons by the police yesterday on the first day of the attack. While the fight over the last 2 days was futile we feel the activists and of course the travellers themselves who have resisted their eviction and oppression by the state have made a heroic stand for workers everywhere.
At the same time, Occupation protests continue across Europe, USA and Australia. These began at the weekend in solidarity to the Tahrir Square occupation and Spanish camps earlier this year as well as the ongoing Wall Street occupation – and we welcome this. However it is useful to identify some of the differences between these two protests: One is the organisation and solidarity shown to a section of the underclass with a very specific aim – to defend people’s homes at the site of those homes. The other is a protest by an ambiguous and “anonymous” “99%” done at the site of power, but with no specific or declared aims. The responses by the state have been heavier against the underclass, despite both the Travellers and the Occupations both having no consensus on the use of NVDA. Another difference is the amount of media coverage given to Dale Farm – which has been international and in the form of live video and written reports in newspapers and websites – and that given to the occupations, which has been very minimal, if not nothing at all.
