Wednesday, 27th July
\n19:00-22:00<\/p>\n

Co-organised by Theory & Practice, Irkutsk<\/a><\/p>\n

Stefan Lutschinger will be introducing a screening and discussion of the new Russian language version<\/a> of Class Wargames Presents Guy Debord\u2019s The Game of War <\/em>which was partly filmed at the Russian State Hermitage Museum.<\/p>\n

After watching this movie, we shall collectively model the key scene of Victor Pelevin’s masterpiece Chapayev and Void<\/em> as a ludic sculpture and play Guy Debord’s The Game of War<\/em> with red and white onions.<\/p>\n

“Let us go ahead – Chapayev said. – There are maps of the area. And this table – is a simplified map of consciousness. Those are red. And these are white. But is that so that when we percive the reds and the whites we get their colour? And what is there in us that can get this colour?”<\/p>\n
