How come you can threaten artists that exhibit, yet you cannot answer yoru own
hypocrisy? You REFUSE to respond to Simple Questions. How much MONEY are the
Surrealists in THE INTERNATIONAL SURREALIST ART SHOW at Sea Lion Studios,
Opening Reception Nov.1st asking for their exhibited artworks? Here is the
Written Statement that was made by the Surrealists protesting the WAH Center's
exhibit, please read and answer the question, here is your statement,
CRAVEN DESTINY
What would you think if someone, after almost a century of an organized,
self-conscious movement, came along and claimed to speak and act for
that movement, while remaining completely ignorant of its aims and
principles? This is exactly what is happening at the Williamsburg Art
and Historical Center under the guise of their Brave Destiny exhibition,
in which New Age angel and unicorn painters -- led by such wizards of
recuperation as Professor Ernst Fuchs, H.R. Giger, and the Society for
Art of the Imagination -- conjoin with bourgeois hoopla about cash
prizes, fashion shows, and artistic prestige to create a flagrant
misrepresentation of surrealism.
Surrealism stands for the revolution of the mind, for the manifestation
of poetry in everyday life, for the revolt of the pleasure principle
against the confines of the existing social reality, and for poetry made
by all, not one! Surrealism wants nothing less than the radical
transformation of the world, and spits on anyone clinging to the
repressive corpse of consumer capitalism and its art specialists!
To this end, we will converge upon this exhibition during its final
days, burn the paintings, and hurl the squirming participants,
ridiculous costumes or not, into the East River!
