Preparation: In the painting room of the “Art” department, my drawings and prints, self-portraits, were arranged on the ground in two straight lines. In this perspective, a blackboard (from my childhood) with colored chalk, is placed on a black easel with a stool from the workshop. A record player waits by metal cabinets, to the left.

Action: Apart from this “staging” or exposition, there would be no other “theatricality.” No costume, either: ordinary jeans and a shapeless cream-white sweatshirt. The action lasts only six minutes and twenty eight seconds, the exact time of the snippet of Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones. The excitement of the music will crescendo with the action on the blackboard. First of all, with a few torn squares of cloth, I wiped the board. My handprints on the cloth were placed calmly on the ground between the two rows. After starting the music, I sat at the board. The action was completely repetitive: tracing lines, scratch marks, scribbles nervously, furiously, then erasing the chalk with the same aggressiveness, with the squares of canvas, laid on my thigh. Markings, erasures and traces left behind. A primitive energy in action, a repressed violence confronts with the figure at the board, with the idea of the work, with creation itself. The seated position is ultimately impossible to maintain, the board tips, the feet of the easel dancing on the drawings, the chalk pieces falling from their wooden groove. My feet will walk on a drawing. And the music will stop. The last erasure with the rag, before the value judgement. I stop the turntable. It’s over.

Critique: New interpretation of time, for self, for the other. Not lengthy. Focused action, direct, without theatricality. Teenage rebellion, clear and clean, opposing the old school. Positioning oneself in front of the board between the painter and the professor: two situations, two perspectives to which entry is refused. Keeping the excesses of eternal youth with rock and roll. The only use of an existing musical work: I will not allow myself to do it again.
