painting in Tate Modern, it was not an act of vandalism. He signed the Rothkos painting and thus show that this painting is a potential piece of Yellowism. This action informs the contemporary world, that Rothkos painting can stop to be a work of art and can become a piece of Yellowism - If Rothkos painting was placed in a yellowistic chamber then it would not be a work of art anymore and would express yellow color only; it would be a definition of yellow given in a form of Rothkos painting. Yellowism is not an art movement. Yellowism is the new context in contemporary culture. Yellowist, based on the definition and Manifesto of Yellowism, can sign any object or being or any work of art to show that it can be transported to the new context and become an example of Yellowism. Dont call Umanets an artist. He is not an artist, he is a Yellowist. He resigned from art. Yellowism is not a form of art. It is a new context in which the value of Rothkos painting increase.

In 2010 in Cairo, during the period of transition between art and yellowism, Marcin Lodyga and Vladimir Umanets authors of the definition and manifesto of yellowism wanted to design and publish a new magazine called Yellowist International, but finally they didnt. Now after two years the most radical organization in contemporary visual culture - Series Nine (S9) announced that the first issue of Yellowist International magazine will be publish in November 2013. The exclusive limited edition of the first issue will be available at www.seriesnine.info and in important bookshops around the world.

On the picture you can see the handmade poster by Vladimir Umanets and the legendary entrance to the first yellowistic chamber in the world. On 15th Nov 2010 in Giza (Egypt), in Natalia Vodianova Yellowistic Chamber was opened the first exhibition of yellowism called Flattened to yellow, on which, for the first time, the Manifesto of Yellowism was presented. The opening date of this exhibition is considered as the beginning of yellowism. Also, there is a cat on the picture, her name is Mustache. Mustache was present at the opening, alongside two precursors of yellowism and composer Zbigniew Karkowski who visited them at that time.

Charlotte Rampling, The Night Porter 1974 Listen to Young Dictators Consider yellowism as a totalitarian system. Two young dictators authors of the definition and manifesto of yellowism decided that there is only one interpretation in this specific context. Everything is about yellow this is the order, the final solution. It is imposed on you, you are not free to interpret, and you have to accept the only possible way of seeing things. This way and no other way. If you dont want to accept the fact that in yellowistic chambers you can see only pure expressions of yellow color dont worry, the young dictators: Lodyga and Umanets will not send you to a gas chamber (btw if a gas chamber was placed inside a yellowistic chamber then it would be about yellow).

Abstract painting is abstract. Jackson Pollock The flight from interpretation seems particularly a feature of modern painting. Abstract painting is the at tempt to have, in the ordinary sense, no content; since there is no content, there can be no interpretation. Pop Art works by the opposite means to the same result; using a content so blatant, so what it is, it, too, ends by being uninterpretable. Susan Sontag, Against Interpretation One and Many Yellowism is not against interpretation, but Yellowism gives only one interpretation. Not many, just one, forever. Every piece of Yellowism is about yellow and nothing more. Whatever you put into a yellowistic chamber, it is a definition of yellow. The lack of many different interpretations is not the lack of interpretation. Every piece of yellowism has the content - every piece of yellowism has exactly the same content. All pieces of yellowism are interpretable because all are about yellow and express yellow, however the content is not obvious (blatant) for humans. Humans have a problem to see beings and objects (inside yellowism) as expressions of yellow color only. If for humans the fact that inside yellowism everything is about yellow was obvious and blatant, then it would mean that human perception was radically changed.

There was no exhibition in CKYC. The chamber was demolished few months after its grand opening. It was the last space from Series Nine in which walls were yellow.

Oh My God! A monkey doesnt distinguish between contexts. A monkey jumps on a chair in an apartment - in the context called reality, ordinary reality where objects are useful. A monkey jumps on a chair placed in an art gallery ( in the context of art) where a chair has meanings, a sense, a chair can be, for example, about love, war, death, existence, art itself etc and can expresses a lot of different things. But monkey doesnt see any sense when looking on a chair; it jumps on a chair like in an apartment. Also, a monkey jumps on a chair in a yellowistic chamber, it doesnt see that a chair in the context of yellowism is about yellow and expresses yellow color only. Thats obvious that a monkey doesnt see differences between ordinary reality, art and yellowism; it just want to jump (or sit in a funny monkey way) on a chair, doesnt matter where. But you, do you see the difference? Its time to clearly and radically distinguish between contexts.

Between a monkey and a chair - Frida Aasen poses with a monkey on her shoulder for a promotional cover of Dazed & Confuseds March 2012 issue, photographed by Sean & Seng. Even if sometimes the context of art matches the context of reality or borders between them are very blurred, you still need to know what art is and what everyday reality is, also you have to know what yellowism is. Hypothetically, if one day art equals reality and therefore there is no art and no reality anymore, yellowism will be still a different context, a separate territory. According to polish theoretician and visionary Jerzy Ludwinski, the evolution of art can reach the stage called the stage of totality and this is how he described it: What matters are the tensions created by the collective effort of many individuals which contributes to the making of one system, pulsating with its own life like some gigantic work of nature. Art = reality. Even if there was such a fusion (art + reality), yellowism would be still outside.

http://www.dazeddigital.com/ If art disappeared and reality disappeared - if both were transformed into aRteality or something like that, I would call yellowism, it this particular case, not the third but the second context. If two contexts (art and reality) become one, then the third context we should perceive as the second context. Imagine that yellowism is the only context which exists and you dont need to distinguish anymore. No art, no ordinary reality (no aRteality as well), just yellowism, the whole universe is like one huge yellowistic chamber, all and everything is flattened to yellow.

A Chair About Vietnam? Yellowism requires from spectators the radical change of perception. The experience of Yellowism exhibitions is the experience of the total flattening. Is the contemporary public ready for this kind of intellectual violence? Is it the ruthless rape on spectators mind? Is yellowism inhuman - not suited for human beings?

Yellowism
Natalia Vodianova by Steven Meisel This is difficult for the viewer. Spectator must, regardless of all the overbearing meanings, symbols, references and associations, think about yellow. () This situation is very difficult, because our civilization, culture, philosophy or art leads us to specific conclusions when we see specific prerequisites, premises, circumstances, reasons, data We are able to decode the meanings and symbols because they are already (made) in us. We are looking for something which we already know. The traditional and universal system of reading meanings and symbols falls in this way - through introducing yellow into the construction / deconstruction of every metaphor - all metaphors are equalized to one level. All meanings are reduced (flattened) to yellow. This creates a new system of reading meanings. This is an absurd system. This is a Utopian system. This is a sick system infected by yellow. This leads to suffocation of all previous meanings and symbols. All the beautiful metaphors and courageous

People dont think in this way - Yellowism way, a human mind / brain can not adopt yellowistic system of thinking or the yellowistic lack of thinking. You easily accept the fact that for example a chair presented in an art gallery expresses some artists political statement or is his comment on holocaust When you are inside the context of art you expect metaphors, new meanings or old meanings given to you sometimes, paradoxically, in unexpected way, in very, lets say: strange way, not typical, you dont take things literally, you dont sit on a chair - you read a chair, you consider a chair You see an art work made out of some rubbish as a definition of love or death. You dont have a problem with a chair which (according to artist/author statement and art critics opinion) expresses something more than the idea of a chair, you dont perceive a chair as a chair but you interpret it, you see new meanings because you already know that in the context of art any being can gain a new (intellectual) status. Therefore I ask you now, why you can not accept the fact that in the context of Yellowism a chair is a definition of yellow color? Is this meaning too new for you? Maybe you can not reach this level of abstraction? I think that you just can not forget about all meanings and symbols which our civilization, culture inserted into your mind, you can not stop your tendency to interpret, you are not able to leave the comfortable kingdom of many interpretations - art. How much do you need to change your perception to see a chair as a pure expression of yellow color only, how much you need to change your perception to see a chair as a expression of death? In art a chair can be about love, death, art, war, holocaust, but in Yellowism a chair can be only about yellow and nothing more, every object, every being, every emotion, feeling in yellowism (in yellowistic chambers) is only and forever about yellow. In Yellowism the only possible interpretation, the final meaning, the sense is given to you, is imposed on you, it is the order, the command . The only thing you have to know is that any piece of Yellowism is about yellow and that you are in a yellowistic chamber. Dont think, you dont have to. Just

Violent Violet II Yellowism only in yellowistic chambers, nowhere else. Yellowists perceive and understand a violet color of walls in yellowistic chamber as a neutral color. In yellowistic chamber violet walls are only a background, walls are not a part of any piece of Yellowism.They are earlier than pieces of Yellowism, are waiting for pieces of Yellowism. On one hand, chamber walls are regarded as impartial, disinterested, dispassionate, uninvolved and unbiased, on the other hand they have important function - are the complement for pieces of Yellowism. A piece of Yellowism become a piece of Yellowism only when is surrounded by violet walls of a chamber.

Marcin Lodyga and Dariusz Melnyczenko preparing the NOLF exhibition in Natalia Vodianova Yellowistic Chamber, London, 2012 Pieces of Yellowism are not yellow but are about yellow. Notice the difference between ARE and ARE ABOUT.Yellowists deliberately dont show yellow pieces of Yellowism ( made from yellow materials or painted yellow) to clearly communicate that pieces of Yellowism are ABOUT yellow, are the definitions of yellow color given in various forms (for example in the form of a blue chair, a fish, music, smoke etc) but are not yellow from the outside). If yellowist painted violet walls of a chamber, for instance: green, red or blue then this green, red or blue coat would be a piece of yellowism. This specific piece of Yellowism would cover the violet walls, and violet color would be invisible. 27 Jul 2012 / 0 notes / yellowistic chamber yellowism natalia vodianova marcin lodyga vladimir umanets

My Babes for the Day (An Oak Tree) / yellowistic draft Marcin Lodyga Nike shoes (size UK 5, EUR 38 ) on fashion and lifestyle magazines Berlin, 2012 The Nature of Yellowistic Drafts A yellowistic draft is not a piece of Yellowism. A yellowistc draft becomes a piece of Yellowism when you insert it into a yellowistic chamber and then, like every piece of Yellowism, is about yellow color, expresses yellow color and nothing more. There are two types of drafts: drafts that were made during the period of transition between art and Yellowism (June - November 2010, Cairo), and drafts which were made after the writing of the Manifesto of Yellowism. The first ones were made parallel with the manifesto and were the notes (in various forms) relating to the different ideas that occurred at the time when we were defining Yellowism. These drafts were comments on the manifesto. After the Manifesto of Yellowism almost anything can become a yellowistic draft if yellowist chooses it and sign it. Any being, any object from the surrounding reality can get the status of a yellowistic draft. Yellowists can choose one draft from the set of yellowistic drafts and transform it into a piece of Yellowism.

Yellowist makes yellowistc drafts and thus show what and who can be flattened to yellow. A yellowistic draft is a potential piece of Yellowism. Yellowists indicates all that what can be about yellow color and at the same time they also show how full of meanings, symbols and references is a draft before the flattening in a chamber. Draft may induce multiple interpretations and can be decoded in similar way as work of art can be, but of course a yellowistic draft is not a work of art. Some people will say about drafts: Oh, it might be an interesting and beautiful work of art or I would like to show it in a gallery where art critics would admire it. Those who want to perceive yellowistic drafts in this way, will always be disappointed because a yellowistic draft is just a yellowistic draft and at any time can be positioned in a yellowistic chamber and thus can be deprived of its intellectual richness. Titles of yellowistic drafts can only intensify a pain of those who wish to keep contents, because a title which magnifies a field of interpretation, loses its significance in a yellowistic chamber; a title is no longer a source of new meanings. No matter how you title a piece of Yellowism, it is about yellow anyway. Some yellowistic drafts will never become pieces of Yellowism. There are also pieces of Yellowism, which previously were not yellowistic drafts. 26 Jul 2012 / 0 notes / nike yellowism draft marcin lodyga fashion Berlin

Violent Violet There are people who think that in Yellowism everything is yellow (visually yellow) - they are wrong! Also, some people think that yellowists like yellow color - people who think like that are wrong too! Finally, it doesnt matter if yellowists like yellow color or not. Marcin Lodyga and Vladimir Umanets have reduced the visibility of yellow to show (to stress) that in the context of Yellowism, yellow is just the intellectual matter; thats why, for example, the walls in a yellowistic chamber (since the No One Lives Forever exhibition) are violet.

This Way and No Other Way is the legendary text about the third exhibition of yellowism. It was written as an introduction to the No One Lives Forever show (attended by Damien Hirst, Miroslaw Balka and Neville Brody) which took place in Natalia Vodianova Yellowistic Chamber in May 2012 in London. When reading the text you can learn a lot about Lodygas and Umanets philosophy therefore it became an important text about yellowism.

This Way and No Other Way No One Lives Forever (NOLF) is not an art exhibition. NOLF is the exhibition of yellowism. The idea of this show is strongly based on the definition and manifesto of yellowism which were created by Marcin Lodyga and Vladimir Umanets. This exhibition proves that the extreme point at which the current culture is now, should be called The beautiful end of postduchampian era. Some say that in art was already everything. can say that in yellowism, can be everything already in art and it will no longer be art. yellowism can be everything what will happen of art and it will not be art. Therefore you what was Moreover, in in the future
Yellowism is the context, in which not only the reality ceases to be reality, but also art ceases to be art. Marcel

Duchamp in the early twentieth century had two areas: 1 reality, 2 art, and he accomplished the shift from one context to another. After that, in art, there was nothing so revolutionary, radical and influential. Even such innovative artists like Andy Warhol or Joseph Kosuth, did not come out of the shadow of Duchamp , despite the fact that their work is very important in the history of art. None of artist have accomplished the latter important move. So, to do something to measure Duchamp, to make the another revolution was necessary to reach to the point where, metaphorically speaking: if you want to walk, you need to create a piece of land which previously did not exist, in other words: define a third context, (which is not art nor a ordinary reality) and do the next step. The third context, in which (for instant) the works of Miroslaw Balka, Neville Brody and Damien Hirst cease to be works of art and become pieces about yellow color and express yellow color and nothing more. Notice: the first step made by Duchamp a transition from the territory of reality to the territory of art; the second step made by Lodyga and Umanets a transition from the territory of art to the territory of yellowism.
Hypothetically, if the all works of art from the all museums, galleries and artists studios around the world would be transferred to an yellowistic chamber, then all, without exception, would be about yellow and would express yellow and nothing more and then the maximum breadth and diversity of vision would be extremely narrowed, flattened to yellow. The context of yellowism would unmercifully equalize all possible interpretations to one, because inside yellowism a fascination with diversity of approach and interpretation doesnt exist. Works of art chosen by curators for No One Lives Forever Exhibition, lose all their meanings which have in the context of art, lose their significance and the whole richness of intellectual references. In art, Damien Hirst explores the uncertainty at the core of human experience; love, live death, loyalty and betrayal through unexpected and unconventional media, but on the yellowism exhibition his work has unexpected and unconventional new sense and retains the same visual form as it has in art. Regardless of Hirsts explorations on the art territory, his work shown in the yellowistic chamber is just the definition of the yellow color and is not a work of art anymore. If his iconic For the Love of God or The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone

Living would be placed in the Natalia Vodianova Yellowistic Chamber then would be also about yellow color and nothing more. The Hirsts work selected for NOLF exhibition is neither of these two well known icons, however its intellectual pregnancy was definitely better for the yellowistic profanation. One day at the end of the twentieth century I asked myself what I do for the ones who lived here and are gone, recalls Miroslaw Balka. And I started my pilgrimages to the concentration and death camps To collect their traces and take care. Balkas examination of the history of the Nazi camps resulted in the work shown on NOLF, but notwithstanding his artistic investigation of domestic memories and public catastrophe, this work in the yellowisc chamber is about yellow color only. In art, Balka explores (based on the history of Nazi occupation in Poland) how subjective traumas are translated into collective histories and vice versa. In yellowism this exploration ceases to exist. When looking at the work of designer Neville Brody one gets the feeling that he is striving towards a painterly quality. Brodys designs are visually and mentally dense and there is a certain emotive quality that his typography exudes. It is the typography of our time and culture. It is dependent on the technology, pushing the technology in that Brody is interested in the formal qualities afforded to him by the computer. Brody himself says, Digital design is like a painting except the paint never dries. It is like a clay sculpture that is always being twisted into new shapes without ever being fired. In NVYC, the graphic language of Neville Brody expresses only the yellow color and nothing more. The visual communication is flattened to yellow. We see just the definition of yellow color in the form of typography /painting. The fact that in yellowism everything is flattened to yellow should be so obvious and commonly known as accepted by the majority belief that no one lives forever. Miroslaw Balka, Neville Brody and Damien Hirst also will not live forever, and if they will, then not only as artists but also as yellowists. Undoubtedly, No One Lives Forever requires from the spectator the radical change of perception. The experience of this exhibition is the experience of the total flattening. Is the contemporary public ready for this kind of intellectual violence? Is it the ruthless rape on spectators mind? 4 Jun 2012 / 1 note / damien hirst neville brody miroslaw
