is against the pyramiding of artworldmarket-investment-fashion-decorations ("minimal", "color field", "conceptual"): such games-decorations are the sleeping pills of culture. It is against "phantasy" in the service of the artmarket.

is anti Pop-art: Pop-art is reactionary – it celebrates the glories of consumer society, and it mocks only at what the lower classes consume – the can of soup, the cheap shirt. Pop-art is chauvinistic. It sabotages and detracts from a social art for all.

opened up and influenced certain artworldmarket deviations for which it cannot be held responsible. It is at the misgrown root of artworldmarket Pop-art, of certain present day erotic-escapist, and horror-for-the-sake-of-horror work.

influenced positively present day political art, underground press and underground films and comics, "subversive" advertising in underground press, art (guerrilla) action groups, events of social content.

ruthlessly suppressed and decimated but not eliminated or exterminated by artworldmarket suppression.

is "programmatic", through theme shows and manifestations freely growing within co-operative group effort. Each show, manifestation, naturally pointing towards next activity.

attempts to influence life through art and therefore calls for quick strategic artistic response.
