KIERKEGAARD ACTIONS. IN HIS DIARY KIERKEGAARD COMPARES HIMSELF TO A BANKNOTE OF LITTLE VALUE. WERE A TRIP TO THE PAST POSSIBLE, THE BANK WOULD BUY AND THEN RESELL SHARES OF KIERKEGAARD, PUTS AND CALLS.
IN HIS DIARY KIERKEGAARD COMPARES HIMSELF TO A BANKNOTE OF LITTLE VALUE. WERE A TRIP TO THE PAST POSSIBLE, THE ACADEMY OF THE CHUTE WOULD NOT TRY TO BUY SHARES OF KIERKEGAARD, BUT TO GET SØREN INVOLVED IN THE BAND.
I WOULD LIKE TO ACCOMPANY EVERY ISSUE OF A BANKNOTE WITH FLUID LAUGHTER. WHEN OLIVA WROTE THAT MY PAINTING WAS WORTHY OF “RIDOLINI” I WAS VERY PLEASED BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS THAT COMEDY HAPPENS PRECISELY AT THE HEIGHT OF SERIOUSNESS AND COMMITMENT.
I WOULD LIKE TO ACCOMPANY EVERY PROJECT OF THE BAND WITH FLUID LAUGHTER. YES! I WANT TO PUT THE WATER OF AN OCEAN WAVE ONLINE. A GEOMETER AND TWO ARCHITECTS ARE DESIGNING A LAND THAT LAUGHS, A BUILDING THAT SINGS, A PEOPLE THAT PLAYS, A CASCADE THAT SLIPS.
WHY? I AM SOCIABLE BY NATURE, SO I GAIN COLLABORATORS AND BECOME A COLLABORATOR MYSELF ACQUIRING THE PRIVILEGE OF WATCHING MYSELF CONTINUE TO LIVE IN THEM AND THEY IN ME.
WHY FORM A BAND? TO COMPOSE THE STATUTE OF A WORLD-STATE BASED ON A LAW NOT EVEN KINGS CAN CONTRADICT: THE LAW OF PLAY. IT IS NOT MAN THAT HAS CREATED THE WORLD, BUT THE WORLD THAT, FOR PLAY, HAS CREATED MAN.
THE IDEA IS TO RESPOND TO THE ART SYSTEM WITH ITS OWN WILY VOICE, WITH CASH.
THE IDEA IS TO RESPOND TO THE BRERA ACADEMY NOT WITH CASH, BUT WITH A WHISTLE THAT GATHERS THE BAND.
THE TEXT YOU ARE READING IS MORE LIKE AN AD CAMPAIGN THAN A MANIFESTO. OF THE MANIFESTO, IT CONSERVES THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF BEING. IT REMINDS THE AD CAMPAIGN OF EVERYTHING THAT LIES OUTSIDE OF MERE SERVICE.
THE TEXT YOU ARE READING IS MORE LIKE A MANIFESTO THAN AN AD CAMPAIGN. OF THE AVANT-GARDE MANIFESTO IT CONSERVES THE DESIRE OF THE CULTURE FOR A NEW LAND. IT REMINDS THE AD CAMPAIGN THAT IT IS THE HEADQUARTERS OF A PLAYGROUND.
FOR ITS BIRTH THE BANK CAN THANK MY WORK “ATAMAN IS ALSO FOR THE RED GUARDS” IN 1972. ONE OF ITS MISSIONS IS THE ISSUING OF MONEY, GOOD MONEY, I HOPE: AN EXEMPLARY ECONOMY THAT KNOWS HOW TO MAKE FUN OF ITSELF.
THE ACADEMY OF THE CHUTE CAN THANK THE BANK OF OKLAHOMA AND THE VIRTUAL PERSONAGES OF ITS CONSTITUTION FOR ITS BIRTH. THE SCULPTURE “THE EATER OF WORLDS” THAT HAS BEEN TRADED FOR LAND IS A SCULPTURE-CURRENCY THAT REPRESENTS ANDREA BORTOLON.
AT THE START OF THE BOURGEOIS ERA, HEGEL IDENTIFIES MONEY AS THE BASIS FOR REACHING TRUTH. TODAY, AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, MONEY IMMEDIATELY PRESENTS ITSELF AS CURRENCY, VALUE, TRUTH OF FORM.
TODAY, AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE POSTMODERN PERIOD, MONEY NO LONGER PRESENTS ITSELF AS CURRENCY, VALUE, TRUTH OF FORM, BUT AS A MULTIPLE WITHOUT AN ORIGINAL, APPEARANCE WITHOUT REALITY.
THE AIM OF THE BANK, HOWEVER, IS NOT TO PRODUCE CURRENCY, BUT ESSENTIALLY TO CONSTITUTE ITSELF AS A COMPANY: COMPLETE WITH A DIRECTOR, A COUNSELOR, AND CLIENTS.
THE AIM OF THE ACADEMY OF THE CHUTE IS NOT ONLY THAT OF SWAPPING STATUES FOR LAND, BUT ALSO THAT OF FORMING A BAND OF SENIOR CITIZENS WITH THE HEARTS OF YOUTHS, AND VICE VERSA, COMPLETE WITH FLAG, TERRITORY, SEAL, LAIR AND NEST.
OPPOSITELY. EVERY BRUNELLO IS DIFFERENT FROM THE NEXT, BECAUSE EACH HAS ITS OWN GENEALOGY. INDEX-LINKED TO THE SIGNATURE OF THE ARTIST, AND NOT BACKED BY A SINGLE GOLD STANDARD. EVERY CURRENCY WILL HAVE ITS OWN QUOTE: GOOD FORM AND PRUDENT MANAGEMENT ATTEMPT THE REVOLUTION: MARX DISGUISED AS CAVENAGO.
THE BAND. EVERY PERSON IS DIFFERENT FROM THE NEXT, BECAUSE THEY EACH HAVE THEIR OWN STORY, NAME AND SURNAME, THEIR OWN CONTEXT NOT ALWAYS BACKED BY HUMAN RIGHTS. ALL MEMBERS HAVE THEIR OWN ENDS. THE GOOD LAWS OF THE BAND AND THEIR PRUDENT APPLICATION ATTEMPT THE ADVENTURE: MARX DISGUISED AS ROBIN HOOD.
DALLAS. I HAVE INCORPORATED AND DISSOLVED THE BANK SEVERAL TIMES, AND A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED. NECESSITY DEMANDED SEVERING TIES WITH MOST OF THEM. A PAMPHLET NARRATING THE ADVENTURES AND MISADVENTURES OF THE COMPANY IS IN THE OFFING.
THE BAND IS REGULATED BY A STATUTE, WITH CIVIL RULES AND LAWS. IT POSSESSES NOT ONLY A FLAG, A SEAL, CONQUERED LAND KNOWN AS “VASCA VOLANO,” A CAMPER AND A BUILDING, BUT ALSO MANY BRUNELLI, A COLLECTION OF MODERN ART AND A FORKLIFT.
IN HIS DIARY, GOETHE ADMONISHED THE BROTHERS WHO BREAK THE JUGS, BUT WERE THE JUGS TO HAVE TO BE INSURED…
WHAT IS NEEDED ARE BROTHERS WHO SHAPE JUGS AND FILL THEM WITH PROVISIONS, PAINTS, WINE AND BRUSHES.
THE BANK AND NEOMINIMALISM. MINIMALISM SHOULD BE TREATED JUST AS SCROOGE MCDUCK USED HIS FIRST PENNY: TRANSFORMING IT INTO A WORK WORTH A THOUSAND PENNIES.
THE ACADEMY OF THE CHUTE AND NEOMINIMALISM. THE “EATER OF WORLDS” SHOULD BE TREATED JUST AS SCROOGE MCDUCK USED HIS FIRST PENNY. SCULPTURE IS CURRENCY TO PAY THE MAYOR FOR THE LAND.
IF THE HANDSHAKE OF THE BOURGEOIS GENTLEMAN SEEMS TO BE MEDIATED BY ECONOMICS, THE POSTMODERN KISS OF THE PR AGENTS THAT TAKES ITS PLACE IS MOTIVATED BY TRANSPORT FOR THE ECONOMY.
IF THE POSTMODERN KISS OF THE PR AGENTS IS MOTIVATED BY TRANSPORT FOR THE ECONOMY, THE GAME-OVER WHISTLE OF THE POSTMODERN IS A CALL TO PERSONS: RUN FOR COVER, HIT THE GROUND IN THE “VASCA VOLANO.”
ARTE E FILOSOFIA RASSEGNATE A NON TRASFORMARE PIÙ IL MONDO NON POSSONO FARE ALTRO CHE CAMBIARLO, COMPERARLO E VENDERLO.
ARTE E FILOSOFIA NON SONO PIÙ INTERESSATE A CAMBIARE, COMPERARE E VENDERE IL MONDO. DESIDERANO COMPORRE UN MONDO NUOVO CHE SIA DIALOGANTE CON IL SOLITARIO MONDO GLOBALIZZATO.
