I am on ArtStrike. Put very simply an art strike is refusal as art practice.I no longer wish to enagage in any part of the pyramid scheme of "Art".

Art Strike; what is it and why would an artist go on or join in an “Art Strike”? “Art Strike” is connected to other artistic examples of refusal in particularhistorical Fluxus and current Fluxus inspired art tactics. In my case Art Strike is not giving up the struggle, it is rather how and what I give up as a means of struggle. About his 1990-1993 Art Strike, Greil Marcus said "Art Strike will fail!" In Herbert Marcuse's "One-Dimensional Man," the "great refusal" is a concept that describes the necessary act of rejecting the totalizing and repressive forces of advanced industrial society. It's a call for individuals to break free from the manufactured needs and one-dimensional thought patterns imposed by consumerism and technological control.

Artstrike is expanding

"But of course it will fail. This is the entire point of why an art strike must happen. It all fails ....but it's worth a try." G Marcus Embrace your failure as success. What you value is yours.

MEMEFEST 2014 Title: What’s in a name? SnackArt and The Ekphrastic Agency.Abstract: This paper tackles the logical consequences of the flawed dialogue and systems of the art world. Adopting neo Fluxus strategies the term ‘art’ is replaced with ‘*Rt’ freeing the way to developing Independent *Rt Tactics as an alternative to artworks. Such tactics, or I*T’s, display reconfigured and reworked Fluxus characteristics. These are identified as Pasquinade, Karnivale, Ludic, Boycotten, Xenia and Sousveillance, and become my strategies to identify *Rt and I*Ts. I then offer my own two independent *Rt tactics, ‘SnackArt’ and ‘The Ekphrastic Agency’, for consideration as a reconfigured dialogue with an audience.
