World Religion Action Kit This easy-to-use kit allows you to take a more active part in the present “Clash of Civilizations”. No matter what your faith is, you can enjoy the flexibility offered by the four great religions – the Bible, Teachings of Buddha, Koran and Talmud in one handy box. Use them as you see fit: study them, choose sides, employ Parts A, B and C to demonstrate your loyalty to the advancing enemy troops. "World Religion Action Kit" was born out of a desire for directness and total engagement as worthy artistic ideals. In stark contrast to the official multiculturism froth, or to the half-hearted gestures of prepackaged "transgression", this work calls out to the basic-most impulses of group identification — and puts them in question. How much tolerance do you have for my intolerance? Do you wish to burn the offending book, or to study it so much more carefully? Would you not change your convictions when asked to do so at a gun point (an awfully likely prospect these days)? Or, would you rather follow Thich Quang Duc, a Buddhist monk who burned himself in protest against Catholic oppression? Unlike the meek provocations of the gallery darlings, "World Religion Action Kit" offers no relief through laughter or visual riddle-solving. And it will not do so in the future, not as long as there are believers in this world. Books: true to the locality of the project's inception all four books are in German (the Bible is a Martin Luther translation published by the German Bible Society, Koran, Talmud and Teachings of Buddha published by the Voltmedia), re-bound in 'librarian's linen' hardcover, gold embossed, ca. 18 x 12 cm. Box: pine, clear wax finish; ca. 50 x 37 x 6 cm. Canister: standard 20L gasoline canister with safety lock, steel; ca. 48 x 34 x 16 cm. Matches: 60 safety matches; ca. 7 x 5.5 x 1.5 cm |
