The video “Whip the Masters” by R.U.T.A. (The Movement of Utopia, Transcendence and Anarchy aka The Reactionary Terrorist - Artistic Union) is based on peasant songs from the Galicia region in southeast Poland/west Ukraine (that from 1795 became part of the Habsburg Empire). The lyrics speak of revolt against the exploitative feudal system. Austrian soldiers are juxtaposed with modern riot police, and the peasants’ fight for freedom with the antiglobalist protests against the rule of corporations in the neoliberal order. “Whip the Masters” is included in the exhibition “Into the Country” at SALT Ulus until November 1.
