| On Monday, 27 November at 4 pm there will be an artist talk by Kirill Tulin who will introduce his current work at the EKKM – “Abiks keskküttekatla kütjale / Help for the stoker of the central heating boiler” and discuss his earlier projects. Apart (but not really) from that you are very welcome to join Kirill Tulin during the remaining 24h shifts of his EKKM work on 26th, 30th of November and December the 4th.The stoker is the one who warms all those, and those only, who do not warm themselves. The question is, does the stoker warm himself? (A reformulation of a “paradox” by Bertrand Russell)Heat is pushed with water along the pipe following the assumption that somewhere there where the pipe ends there is a need for heat. I look at that as the thermo-dynamics of help – help is given based on the assumption that it is needed and the ventil is open, otherwise the heat dissipates from the pipe midway, and the giver and the receiver of help stay separate and cold with all the heat lost in transfer. Opening the ventil partially solves the problem, but question remains that of a separation (and the pipe) between the site of production of heat and the one of its consumption. I think this issue is crucial for the understanding of help because such separation brings “coloniality” to its very gesture. If we move from the boiler-room in which my practice now takes place, into the room 144 of Estonian Academy of Arts, the issue could be reformulated as the one of separation between the site of knowledge production and the one of its consumption. To complicate issues even further I would throw here a term of “autonomy” for all those interested in Monday the 27th discussion to try to come up with definition or example of. Needless to say the pipes would be jammed and the outlined flows disrupted or reversed as they would (should) be for any given system. Discussion would take place in “international” English, but occasional translation can be given if need into Estonian (by Liina Siib) and into Russian (by Kirill Tulin). |
