FLIGHTS TO THE MOON
The audience (more than 20 people) were brought to the edge of the field on which there was an
island of snow that had not yet melted. 8 black-and-white A0 photocopies of pages 16,
23,26,31,42,44,46 and 77 of Flash Art No. 76-77, 1977 were placed in a row onto the thawing
snow. Five of these pages contained material on artists that had participated in Documenta 6
(Oppenheim, Rinke, Serra and others), two pages contained material on Beuys and
Schwarzkogler, and one page from another section of the magazine contained photographs and
descriptive texts of CA‘s actions from 1976, including ―Appearance‖, ―Lieblich‖, and ―Tent‖.
―Appearance‖ and ―Lieblich‖ were carried out on the same field in Izmailovsky Park on which
the action described here took place.
A black sheet of the same size (A0) was inserted into the center of this row of photocopies and a
globe of the moon with a diameter of 32 cm was placed onto it. On this globe, there were small
red dots that marked the places in which space-ships had landed, labeled with the names of the
space-ships and the dates of their landing in the same red color. After the spectators had become
familiar with this installation, they were given envelopes in the format of A5, which were labeled
with the letters ―KD‖ (=CA) and the date of the action. These envelopes contained fragments of
A3 photocopies of the same pages of Flash Art (each envelope contained one fragment).
After the audience‘s departure from the field, the installation with the photocopies (covered with
snow) and the globe were left behind at the scene of the happening.
For the audience, the action was held under the working title ―Luna Park‖: the little red dots
largely remained unnoticed and the action‘s organizers made no mention of the chronical
connotation between them and the large red letters ―KD‖ on the factographic envelopes as an
important aesthetic underplot. (This connection is only made manifest on the level of the
descriptive text at hand and its name ―Flights to the Moon‖).
