155. WITHOUT PORTRAIT. (minor event).

In the village Dyutkovo, near the S. Taneyev Museum, a small booth was found 20 meters from the railroad.
After visiting the S. Taneyev Museum, the participants of the planned action approached the booth and inside it AM hung a text in a A4 frame under glass - a fragment from A. Gavrilov's book "Kettle, Fira and Andrei" about Svyatoslav Richter's trip to the S. Taneyev Museum in the late 70s - on the right wall of the plywood booth, on the central wall was hung a 40x30 cm scan from the page of the action Slogan-1978 on S. Letov's website. On the left side wall were hung two photos from the action "Lozung-1978". Then P. Pepperstein wrote the phrase "Without Portrait" (the name of this action installation) on the plywood on the top of the booth from the outside and all the participants of the action signed on the back wall of the booth.
Finally, a photo-scan from the website on the central wall was covered with a 100x115 cm piece of chintz so that it could be lifted from below and the scan could be viewed. Pieces of the same chintz were handed out to the participants as factography for the action.
Among the signatures on the back wall of the booth, a piece of paper with the text of N. Panitkov's e-mail was pasted on black plywood, where he explains the reason why he could not attend the action; this text can also be considered as a "2020 slogan" among the CD slogans.
