a Since his own talk show “TALK 2000" fall 97 and his spectacular arrest at the documenta he has been invit-
ed in all talk- shows there are on German TV and he succeeded in winning two of the most popular talk show hosts as men-
tors for CHANCE 2000: Harald Schmidt and Alfred Biolek supported us and spend money, as well as the prominent design-
er Joop. And -of course- a majority of the art and theatre world (Elfried Jelinek wrote in our internet-thinktank and send a
plastic duck to the Wolfgangssee, Sepp Bierbichler spend his actors-price-money for Schlingensief, Schlingensiefs chief
Frank Castorf featured the whole show, etc.). So CHANCE 2000 became the running gag of last year's election debacle, we
were the filler for mass media's summer hole. At the Wolfgangssee- Spectacle beginning of August more camera teams ap-
peared than unemployed: on the shores, on boats in the water, in the air with helicopters. Mass media filmed themselves,
while 6 Million unemployed proved their autonomy by staying home and having their Wolfgangssee in their own bath room,
After the Wolfgangssee-Spectacle only the message of our bankruptcy brought the media attention back on us, while we
declared CHANCE 2000 International. We became a company. We sold art warrants: if we get profit, you get your share-
holders’ value, if not the warrant transforms automatically into art. We think that by this measure we are ahead of our times
again, because soon all parties will admit that in reality they are companies.

Berlin, 27. September 1998: a little revolution has happened in the Federal Republic. For the first time the German "Volk"
has elected a new chancellor and we enter the "Berlin Republic” with a red-green Bundesgovernment. King Kohl and the
| conservatives lost the elections by an earth-slide victory of the opposition. CHANCE 2000 celebrated the “Election
Debacle” in the "Volksbiihne" in former East Berlin: two minutes before the first results were broadcasted, Schlingensief
cut the cables- we were liberated. This must be System II. As the logical next step we founded a State.

Berlin, 3. October 1998: FAREWELL FROM GERMANY. At the Congress 3000 Schlingensief declared the Chance State,
dressed as a Rabbi. From the “Jesus of the unemployed” to the "Moses of the metaphysical homeless". If we get 3 normal
nation-states to accept our statehood, we get a seat in the UN. Forget the Bundestag - forward to New York! Chance State,
Church of Chance, Chance World... the rhizome lives and prospers. Schlingensief just returned from his mission in Africa
and starts the State in 2 weeks. The State -as the party-intellectual Dr. Druff describes it- is an “ideal state of Israel", a pro-
tection zone for the mistreated masses and the metaphysical homeless. Embassies were opened in Basel, Johannesburg,
Sarajevo (with artists from the art-state NSK).

Europe 1999: The Party is now in the hands of us, original chancists in Frankfurt/ Main. We want to take part in the
European elections this year. >From today -1.1.1999- Frankfurt is the true capital of Europe as it has always been the se-
cret capital of postwar Germany: Bankfurt/Mainhattan. Instead of the "Berlin Republic’ we have declared a “Frankfurt
Republic’. After our Farewell from Germany we want to expand in Europe, to hack the "Brussel Republic” with our little sub-
political Y2K-bug. Therefore we are looking for collaborators and co-workers. And therefore we have changed our label
into: CHANGE 2000. Send your comments to: http://chance2000.com (thinktank, Kommentar). Or contact us in Frankfurt.
