photocopy of the same slide.
Besides that, prior to the audience‘s arrival on its left at a distance on a hill an electric battery-powered
bell was put into a small blue box and switched on. From the audience‘s position it was impossible not
only to hear the ringing sound, but also to see the box itself, as it looked like a small blue point melting
into the background.

52. THE INTERVALS
In a forest not far away from park Abramtsevo in Moscow region, over a wood trail at approximately 2
meters‘ height and 5 meters from each other, 10 sheets of green cardboard (100x67 cm) were strung up in
a row. Before that the action‘s participants had cut from each sheet a circle of 57 cm in diameter.
After stringing up the cardboards and reaching the Moscow circular road (Yaroslavskoe highway access)
by car, the participants laid down the first circle previously cut in the forest next to the road‘s outer rim.
Then, according to a pre-marked map, the other 9 circles were distributed along the whole road (108
kilometers) at an aproximately similar distance from each other.
Therefore, the total range of the installation, which took 7 hours to accomplish, constituted approximately
108 kilometers.

53. TO I. MAKAREVICH (Music of the meteorites)
Prior to Makarevich‘s arrival a black box (202x67x55 cm) with a circular hole on its upper side (21 cm in
diameter) was installed at the action‘s scene. The box‘s base with attached skis was covered with snow.
Inside the box there was a burning kerosene stove with a whistling kettle heating up on it. 10 meters away
from the box there was an armchair.
After approaching the scene Makarevich comforted himself in the armchair (see instruction #1 in
―Documentation‖ section). 20 minutes later the kettle began to boil, the whistle sounded and clouds of
steam poured in from the hole in the box‘s upper side.
15 minutes later the water in the kettle boiled away, and the whistling stopped. Makarevich approached
the box (see instruction #2) and opened it (see instruction #3). Then he discovered a rope attached to the
box‘s front side and pulled it away from the scene.
In the course of the whole action a tape recorder hidded some 15-20 away from Makarevich‘s position
(behind his back) produced the sound of a dog‘s barking.
