Declaration on the new international solidarity among artists Venice, June 1968
The opponents of commercialisation of
the arts are supporting the actions against the Venice Biennale.
They are against the principle of national representation and authorisation
of art by which the process of international artistic activation is suppressed.
Ve must break through the aesthetical isolation in order to protest
against the manipulation and monopolisation within cultural life.
This process is the basis for every new creative expansion
Here in Venice it was necessary to protect the so-called cultural treasures
through massive and brutal police intervention. This reaction againat
international protest-actions is a symptom of the latent fascistic powers
in the statal goverments of today in east and in west.
Consequently it was decided here in Venice by international artiats
from Berlin, Bozen, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Firenze, Göteborg, Hamburg,
München, Milano, New York, Oslo, Örkelljunga, Paris, Tokyo, Venice and
Vienna to organise in resistance-groups and to establish the following
secretariats:
Drakabygget, Örkelljunga, Sverige. Cooperating and sympathising groups can affirm this manifesto and express
their solidarity by returning a signed copy to the following adress: Drakabygget,
Örkelljunga, Sverige, which would be responsible for later printing and
distribution.
