http://trashrockproductions.com/trashrockcat.html (Trash Rock Found Footage Archive, Vienna)

'KOMMUNIQUÈ #09' IS A SINISTER ART MANIFESTO FROM DENMARK PRODUCED IN 1976 BY AN UNKNOWN DADAISTIC ACTIONIST CALLED JOHNNY LINDSTROM. THE 8MM-REEL (TIED TOGETHER WITH A HANDWRITTEN VERSION OF THE MANIFESTO) WAS FOUND ON A VIENNESE FILM FAIR AND GOT DISTRIBUTED BY TRASH ROCK PRODUCTIONS IN 1999. IN JULY 2003 THE FRENCH/GERMAN ARTE-TV NETWORK AIRED THE FEATURE WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF AN ART MANIFESTO-THEME NIGHT.

THE EXISTANCE OF THIS FILM RAISES SOME QUESTIONS. PLEASE HELP AND POST YOUR SUGGESTIONS!

A) WHO WAS JOHNNY LINDSTROM OR WHO DODGED BEHIND THAT SYNONYM?
B) IS JOHNNY LINDSTROM STILL ALIVE?
C) WHAT KIND OF ART MOVEMENT IS DESCRIBED IN THIS FILM?
D) WHO IS THE SPEAKING PERSON?
E) WHERE IS THE FOOTAGE TAKEN FROM DEPICTED BETWEEN 01:09 AND 01:15?
F) IS THERE SOME MORE UNSEEN FOOTAGE FROM THAT FILM CREW OUT THERE?


THANK YOU!

HERE IS THE MANIFESTO IN ITS EXACT WORDING:

KOMMUNIQUÉ #09
BY JOHNNY LINDSTROM
(COPENHAGEN 1976)


1) REALIZE THAT YOU FIRST STARTED FANTASIZING ABOUT BECOMING AN ARTIST WHEN YOU FOUND OUT THAT YOU DIDN'T FIT INTO THIS SOCIETY AND CERTAINLY A CASUAL JOB WOULDN'T MAKE YOU HAPPY. FIRST OF ALL: YOU HATE SOCIETY. THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY.

2) PLAY THE SHIT-AND-VOMIT-TRICK. TO PROVOKE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND EVEN YOUR FELLOW ART SCHOOL MATES SHIT IN A CUP, EAT IT UP AND VOMIT IT BACK AGAIN. DECLARE THIS TO BE YOUR FIRST PERSONAL MASTERPIECE. SHOULD YOUR FELLOW CONTEMPORARIES LOWER THEMSELVES TO TELL YOU THAT ACTS LIKE THAT WERE ALREADY PERFORMED BACK IN THE 1960S AND THAT YOUR POINT IS IMMATURE, SIMPLY CALL THEM 'FASCIST PIGS' OR 'HYPOCRITICAL ART SCHOOL SCUM'. BY SAYING THAT, THEY WILL BECOME VERY ASHAMED, REALIZING THAT THEY ARE PHONEY AND PATHETIC, WHILE YOU'RE HAVING YOUR FINGER ON THE PULSE OF THE TIME.

3) HERE ARE YOUR RULES - LEARN THEM WHEN NECESSARY: ART CAN ACHIEVE NOTHING. ORIGINALITY IS A LIE. IN A WORLD MOTIVATED BY THE LIE OF SUCCESS THE TRUE ARTIST MUST ALWAYS ASPIRE TO FAIL. ART HAS BECOME A SICKNESS STUPEFYING ITS AUDIENCES. TO GET RID OF THOSE YEARNING FOR BEAUTY WE HEREBY ANNOUNCE ONLY TO PAINT WITH EXCREMENTS FROM NOW ON: ANIMAL DROPPINGS, BLOOD, DIARRHOEA, FARTS, FOREWATERS, MENSTRUATION BLOOD, MUCUS, PISS, PLASMA, POO, POO-POO, PRE-EJACULATORY FLUIDS, PUS, SEBUM, SPERM, SPIT, SWEAT, TEETH AND MOST CERTAINLY: THROW-UP.

4) AN ARTIST BY NATURE IS A HEAVY SMOKER AND COFFEE ABUSER. IN ADDITION, THE ARTIST USES ANY OTHER KIND OF STIMULATION SHE OR HE POSSIBLY CAN GET AT: PROCAINE, AMETHOCAINE, COCAINE, LIDOCAINE, PRILOCAINE, BUPIVACAINE, LEVOBUPIVACAINE, ROPIVACAINE, MEPIVACAINE, DIBUCAINE, SEX.

5) HAIL LENIN! HAIL MAO! HAIL SATAN!
