Translated by Jakob Jakobsen from Jens Jorgen Thorsen: Friheden Er Ikke Til Salg, Bogan 1981
Slogans painted at Møntergade 1962

Nash, Thorsen, Kunzelmann

1. The designer of the city is a counterfeiter.

2. Culture is culture industry. Culture industry is swindle. Swindle is the same as work: Culture industry = organised free time.

3. Today the planning of the human environment only aims at planning schematic forms of life.

4. Culture industry and the city planners are pulling people around by the nose.

5. The world and all means of communication should be open for the playful acts of creation.

6. The culture industry makes people believe that they participate in culture.

7. The city = organised emptiness.
