 intro and then the puppeteers take over and then I take over again so these are two different sets of wood carvings from two years so the older one are these dura wood carvings in that in the cafe and in that room behind here and the other ones these one here are called implementation these are the last spring one spring earlier than this one and this is you have to read the words these are slogans from the new party of the possibly terriens that's the ones that dispose of the incompetent government continuously and show people the thousand alternatives to the capitalist system maybe you remember Margaret Satcher and Ronald Reagan were very good friends and they were very happy when the building wall came down and the Soviet state was disassembled and they called that moment Tina meaning there is no alternative so we are countering this Tina with Tata there thousand alternatives that's the possibility terriens love the new york time celebrated that Tina announcement was an article that was entitled the end of history so the finishing off of the soviet state was considered the end of history meaning capitalism one there can be nothing else good luck we're going to do otherwise so that's are these slogans the dura ones that are in the coffee and in that room there they are based on duras apocalypse so you know the apocalypse was written by the preacher John and Asia Minor he was a preacher a pretty important guy good writer but the in essence is writings where revenge writings it's the heavenly powers coming down on the evil cannibals who don't follow this new Jewish sect called Christianity so and get punished heavenly and hellishly and so forth it's quite an enterprise and dura was very young when he made these he was born in the early 1370s so he was 21 22 when he started carving the apocalypse it's the most powerful piece of wood carving in the history of wood carving there's nothing like it in the world it's so incredibly violent and intense and a lot of the violence is simply the intensity of the carving the depths the the the density of line the curvature in the line it's it's unbelievable there are the great wood covers at that time you may have seen Holbein he was a great wood cover Lucas Kranach those people but nothing can match this event of Duras apocalypse so I felt it's time for a popka lips again so I did another apocalypse so this not Duras imagination slightly different he's all carved in masonite sheets masonite is a industrial wall building material so the four sub walls underneath sheetrock and very very cheaper than any wood product so you can get a four by a sheet for used to be three dollars now it's probably 150 dollars but anyway it's it's cheap compared to wood and yeah so that's it yeah it takes me about an hour to carve one of these and Dura probably worked on his apocalypse which are this size for at least a couple of weeks thing so there's a difference you see a sloppy one and now we're going to start a demonstration of the show over there or sweat ones become antiquated before they can empire continues to militarize its problem democracy extra legal democracy extra legal democracy another war identifies and bombards the enemy even if the enemy is a funeral or wedding party and a largely unknown distance sphere of interest basic is a way to the victor since the traditional resources for economy and war are exhausted the empire must violently possess the leftovers the oligarchs in charge of leftover distribution carefully manage the new world order which is the old world order the public is made to attend the theater the theater is the theater of war of the everything the truly important messengers of now crumbling the city under its hopes tonight's performance is a rerun of the popular show regime change of the school of permanent war unseeable the black and white pain of torn apart entities whether architectural or human the dust that emits from the shambles of the performance performed for a blindfolded audience here are two of jurors apocalyptic writers the substance of the performance is comfortable and afflicted the afflicted risk I resist breath as yet undetected unimagined up bread our hunger we a piece of silence that requires no commentary evil from within the within which contains the mind and heart of not only disorder and rejection but also the possibility and model of the new the sourdough and potato patches of the new the frolicking socialist masses freed from the yoke of the money only economy one two three this revolution the human revolution against human management is not over naturally turned to puff the under and oversized features of humanity that is history of civilization inspires the art of puppetry puppetry rises from the garbage as phoenix rises from the ashes losing this directness again and again of the fifties the peasants who Dura lived with that's the prison peasants that he saw slaughtered because they rose up in giant crowns ready for evolution and then the losers and the reformers sided with the aristocracy and slaughtered them the workers of the russian evolution they got their signs from the person who initiated these woodcut exhibits here in vermont is not here lexus smith's her mother is very sick so she meant to be as she initiated this and quite a few other shows all over vermont of these two exhibits the dura one and the possibly terry in one thank you now comes right in the early
