The call to artists left in Germany was the reason and basis for discussion for 16 artists, on 23 September 2010 meeting in Berlin. Agree on the content of the statements o.g. Appeal, we decided to set up the association of anti-capitalist creative artists in the following consensus: In the developed industrial countries is becoming rampant perfect disguising unemployment. More and more capital in fewer hands are in direct contrast to starvation and excessive distress in the backyards of the world. Wars that are likely but have long since ceased to be the continuation of politics by other means to be out and millions of free human existence and life. The hunt for maximum profit sustainable destroyed the environment, while the democratic and personal rights of the populations are limited. Fascist ideology, racism and repression have become socially acceptable. Humanity is divided by tenure and non-possession, we live in a dictatorship of the property over people. Despite the fact that a majority is opposed to this development, there is no effective resistance. There is a culture of conformity that individualism and selfishness, which encourages a lack of alternatives of relationships and enmity on the sole basis of financial provisos. Characterized by mass events and an art and culture industry, which is the only investment and exploitation interests subject, we experience an offensive system supporting forces to keep people stupid and misinformed. Our answer is that art and culture is not just capital. It is the primary and foremost duty of us left artists to reach those who are able and have the motive to invalidate these conditions, in which man is a debased, enslaved, neglected and contemptible being. It is necessary, interests and approaches to art and culture beyond the established bourgeois pure art, university high art and the institution of the museum and the art market, to one to create the opposite use art to awaken the idea of an alternative, more humane society . Without a goal there is no movement. Our art has again become a part of the culture of the workers and employees, the unemployed and Hartz4 receiver, the small self-employed, all employees who are killed by the social network, out of the elite circle into the lives of the masses. To this end we are the people with our art to come into contact and pick them where they stand - in their environment, their living installing art and make known their own learn the possibilities and forms of expression, learn and even of those and develop a common aesthetic . Without a culture of resistance no resistance. There is a consciousness in political parties and organizations to provide all left-wing political forces that the distance of proletarian art and culture is not an expression of solidarity with the masses, but signs of weakness and stupidity. Under the umbrella of, on the model of ASSO in the 1920s and 1930s created, new artists' association, we are projects, courses and public relations work for our expertise in the recipient multiplied, will share us how to deal with present conditions and how each of us finds their own way the aesthetics of protest, resistance, an aesthetic of struggle for a better world and in his books to understand. First concrete plans were adopted. It will be followed by further meetings. We urge all artists who want to make your contribution to a culture of resistance to join the association. Only together can we make a difference.
