Einstürzende Neubauten at Slurpen for “Tidskonsept II”, Oslo 1983.
Artist collective Lambretta invited Einstürzende Neubauten and Holy Toy to perform in their studio that they converted into a gallery space for the evening.
The locale was decorated with painted tv-screens, painted tarps, sheet metal and hanging oil drums, and playing documentary and propaganda clips from wartime Germany and the Soviet Union.
The performance was attended by the art elite, punks, and a tv-crew from the Norwegian national broadcasting network NRK.
The night ended with band members from Einstürzende Neubauten throwing Molotov-cocktails into the crowd, and the crowd reacting similarly by setting fire to the instruments and set design by Lambretta.

Je ne parlerai pas, je ne penserai rien :
Mais l’amour infini me montera dans l’âme,
Et j’irai loin, bien loin, comme un bohémien,
Par la Nature, - heureux comme avec une femme.
- Arthur Rimbaud
Lambrettas don’t leak oil, they mark their territory.
