Article 1
With modern life
and various comforts
that the technologies they gain on us are giving, do we gain time? Les
than likely. We always run
after it, we are hurry,
stressed. Just time
for tying shoes,
swallowing instant
coffee, getting to work, then we have to get back to sleep. We have to
plan something else, it's urgent. After deep thoughts, we have decided
to take a radical step: we have decided to suspend
the time at the first day of springtime.
Article 2
While trains are running faster, while HST is saving time, while there
are pre-washed salads, disposable plates, where is the time
going by? Nobody leaves. Time is flying by throughout our pockets as if
they had a hole in, our brain is a sieve
where our memory run away through. Only cows
they look trains passing by when trains are not running too fast et when
cows are sill there to look at them. That's the way the life is passing
by, probably too fast for the most of us who are too busy to appreciate
except when it is too
late.
Article 3
Where is the time going by? Good question, indeed. Because time is money, we spend time
by giving time to earn money to be able to spend it. Thus we always are
"deprived" of time. As there are moneyboxes
to keep money, there would be boxes to keep time. Five minutes here,
they'll be taken from the time for talking
for the sake of talking, five minutes ther, they'll be taken from the time
of a non-sense télévision
programme-- With also time wait springtime.
A lot of! And recycled time, too, that is salvaged time in wating for a
bus or uselessly spent time in a queue at a post counter. Precious minutes
to re-use after capitalizing them not to miss a plane, a
date or to prolong life of ours, which we never enough think about,
except at the time to be about to lose it.
Article 4
Caution! Put right your own watches because time will stop on next 20th of March at 12:00:00.
Think to it!
Article 5
There is the cherries in the trees time and the starving cows'
one. They have nothing to do with each other. Cows are never purple but
cherries have always a tail.
Article 6
So to speak : To spend time by doing nothing more coarsely is to "bugger
out". The opposite, that is not to spend time, then would constist
of doing something. Well, it's questionable, because the best you can do
is at least to cleverly use this time to think instead of continually moving
about nothing.
Article 7
In our modern daily life, we are involved into a constantly accelerated
move, which The
technological environment we have installed is quite contrubuting to. Time
has changed.
Some consider the time is in "bits". The others (the machines)
count it and edit it with nanoseconds. Anyway, we are down under the influence
of it. We experience the tyrany of time. It's time to free ourselves!
Article 8
Comrades, the washing time is urging. From now on, time has come to
restore the facade, to chuck out the democratic centralism, to shelve, with a pillow on his head, the
little father of the Revolution, to inform on the old-fashioned ideology
from a the past, when "stakhanovism" imposed tyrany of production
and rates; in the
same time, to postpone Taylor et his fans indefinitely; To advocate at
least the lazinessright
againt the tyrany of Time.
Article 9
That the reasons why we, as gullible
artists, (As they say all the real artists are?), have decided, once
and for all, to end this infernal spiral of a unstandable and alienating
lived time. At least stop! to live and, above all, to know, while we are
approaching the 2000's gate, what we want to do with this new millenary,
and, above all, how we want to practise it and to live? You will see: we'll
get to eat commemoration everyday we'll be used as dogbodies! The graduates
of Centre Georges Pompidou
and their staff (not to let them to be too obviously bored while they renew
the raffinery...) have been mobilized for and they have not forgotten to
already warn the american artists, as preferentially usually, and the old
same stars" of market of Art, about bugdets to be widely spent. And,
above all, about good bargains, for their agent and gallery. Think to it!
Article 10
To eat time as we eat white bread. Did you know this expression? The time eaters do
exist: I've seen them!
They don't go into details, for sure. They have a gob to swallow. Either
they just get in without warning when you are buzy in the kitchen or they
pester you with phoning
until midnight to tell you about the last diseease of their doggy,
while you have to produce a fifty pages report tomorrow morning and you
just didn't write the firt line. They are called chronophages,
too. They belong to organized tribes they devastate all without considering
class but with a never failing apetites.
