►► “Supreme” on Vladimir’s hat by Marcin Lodyga text dedicated to Vladimir Umanets who is imprisoned in Maidstone prison, Kent, UK
“It was nothing other than a yearning for speed … for flight … which, seeking an outward shape, brought about the birth of the airplane. For the airplane was not contrived in order to carry business letters from Berlin to...

Yellowism is based on the supremacy of yellow and takes domination over Suprematism.
rgfk:
it’s really disappointing yellowism is a poorly executed boring as fuck concept that’s been awkwardly stretched to look and sound like a movement when it’s kinda just an idea that is sort of some fusion of dadaism and absurdism and just kinda ehh?
i hope the dudes refine their ideas a lil more and do something cool with them.
►► Movement
Yellowism is not an artistic movement. Futurism, Surrealism, Dadaism, Fluxus, Cubism etc are the art movements, but yellowism is not. However, yellowism is a movement in a bit different sense. Yellowism is a move, a shift, displacement. Yellowists can move all artistic movements into the context of yellowism where artistic movements will not be assigned to the domain of art any...

lictn:
yellowism hasn’t and won’t pick up because it isn’t relevant anywhere to anyone. it is highly inaccessible and pertains to a minuscule percentage. i admit that it opens up the discussion of what is and what isn’t art in an unique way, it’s an interesting take on perception and context, but the…

►► The timeless pain of yellowism by Marcin Lodyga
Perhaps Matthias Grunewald painted the intense crucifixion because he knew that one day this painting will be presented in the context of yellowism. Maybe Picasso thought about yellowism when he painted Guernica in 1937. Was it really created in response to the bombing of Guernica by German and Italian warplanes? Naah, it was made to express...

►► The Treachery of Ontological Images by Marcin Lodyga text dedicated to Khadija Davies, Easter 2013
I look at “Treachery of Images” by Rene Magritte and I say: “this is not a work of art” because this painting is placed in a yellowistic chamber. Magritte painted a pipe and wrote under it: “Ceçi n’est pas une pipe” - this is not a pipe. Indeed, what we...

Anonymous asked: FUCK OFF PLEASE
Anonymous asked: How does your movement respond to Barthes position that with the "death of the author" no text (or visual text) retains a single meaning once it is released into a realm where it is viewed and received by others?

►► The Authors of the Death by Marcin Lodyga When looking from art perspective, one can say that yellowism is a dead territory where the richness of meanings and interpretations is reduced to one - to yellow. But one needs to remember that yellowists don’t announce the death of art. Art is and will be alive forever. They rather say that yellowism is dead, inert, homogeneous mass without...

►► Luncheon on the grass (on the grass: Arthur Danto, Roy Turner, Joseph Kosuth, Marcin Lodyga) What makes the difference between a Brillo box and a work of art consisting of a Brillo box is a certain theory of art. It is the theory that takes it up into the world of art, and keeps it from collapsing into the real object which it is. - Arthur Danto. But to expose the irrelevance of this idea...

As a case study, let’s look at Ai’s Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn.
On the surface level, the photo set appears to mock artistic fetishism: Ai looks like he could not possibly give a fuck as he lets the valuable artifact shatter on the ground. There’s a sublime disregard in the pictures;…
fixedgearbikesyeah asked: NO ONE CARES
justiceismine asked: Yellowism is neither art, nor anti-art but a cause. Some might ask if Yellowism is needed or say it's pathetic/stupid but I say it deserves it's place as did Jackson Pollock for example, which he did not get at his time.
spacecowboysparklefingers asked: No one is going to drink your yellow kool-aid. Your totalitarian snake oil ideology has been ineffectual and irrelevant since De Stijl/Neoplasticism tried it. There is no dialogue here, you won't even respond to this with anything more than an "X". Please don't write on anymore Rothko's (or any other pieces of art for that matter), they are not yours to write on, and some...

►► Rome outside of art by Marcin Lodyga
Yellowism is not dadaism or neo-dadaism. If you think that yellowism is dadaism then actually you are a dadaist, because you try to devalue yellowism and make it meaningless. Dadaists were nihilists and they “promoted” nonsense. The fact that in yellowism everything means yellow leads to the wrong conclusion that everything means nothing and...

►► Discipline and punish.The birth of the black hole
Yellowists see the whole domain of reality and the whole domain of art as gigantic readymades which can be transported into the context of yellowism. Yellowism is a specific prison, a ghetto in which you are free from freedom, in which the freedom of interpretation doesn’t exist. Every content placed in this territory defines yellow color. It...

Today you can overstep the border, you can be a bit like Alice through the looking glass, you don’t have to, together with other artists, push the boundaries of art further anymore, now it’s time to cross it and discover the another, still unknown for many, space called yellowism. Of course, you can stay where you are and run your artistic life in harmony with the motion of...

►► Jump out of the speeding train
Since civilization is changing extremely fast today, there is little time for new meanings of objects to crystallize - said Jan Swidzinski - the creator of contextual art. In effect the objects of art assume different meanings. The outdating of meanings is a constant process - proceeding all the faster the quicker civilization changes. Contextual art by...

Perhaps contemporary yellowists have prepared the intellectual system for the next generation or maybe for the next civilization - for unborn people and unborn world. Their task is to leave a legacy - the ready philosophy which humans will need in the future. The current culture, the present society is not able to take yellowism without the radical...

►► The Dangerous Exchange of Names
If you call yellowists: “artists” then the millions of artists, all the artists which were, are or will be living on this world are yellowists, and it means that there are only two artists forever: Lodyga and Umanets. Remember, this not just the exchange of names, this is not the matter of how you call people who do art and people who do...

►► Matrix
The culture after fifteen or twenty years - the future in which greenism, redism, blueism or chairism exist and the resignation from art is a trend. Art still exists but is surrounded by other not artistic fields. Yellowists know already that yellowism is a prototype of the future cultural phenomenons. Any future ism will be basad on yellowism - their internal, logical construction...

On 7th of October 2012 yellowist Vladimir Umanets went to Tate Gallery and signed Mark Rothko’s painting “Black on Maroon” (from Seagram series).Tate Modern will remove (or removed already) Umanets signature and title: “A potential piece of yellowism”. Unfortunately, Tate will not keep the inscription and therefore will “deface” something very special. But,...

Also, pieces on the fifth or sixth or thousandth exhibition of yellowism will be expressing the same. In the context of yellowism...
