Centro de Desintoxicação Midiática's photostream

O C.D.M., Centro de Desintoxicação Midiática, é um grupo de “pseudo-artistas” interessados em discutir a respeito de um possível circuito paralelo e alternativo de arte contemporânea e ilustração.

Groupe de pseudo-artistes développant un travail de caractère expérimental, ayant le courage de ne pas accepter le sens commun et les impositions mercantilistes. Des individus intéressés à la discussion autour de l'art contemporain et ses insertions, proposant et réalisant à partir de ces discussions des Re-actions Publiques systématiques. Il s'agit de travaux qui s'insèrent directement dans le tissu urbain, qui rompent par conséquent avec tous les rapports avec l'espace sacralisé de l'exposition d'art, en s'abstenant de la dépendance par rapport au circuit artistique conventionnel, avec tout ce que ça entraîne par rapport aux perceptions spécifiques de ces travaux et ses possibles lectures.

The pseudo-artist manifest:
- The pseudo-artist did not necessarily attend to art school;
- The pseudo-artist is usually poor;
- The pseudo-artist has no studio, some of them use a garage or an alternative space to work on their projects;
- The pseudo-artist gives his blood for his art;
- The pseudo-artist spend nights working and usually don´t worry to get any money for it;
- The pseudo-artist works with the less and most rude tools and materials as possible;
- The pseudo-artist knows his work is probably an artifice and doesn´t take it seriously, creating merely for the true interest and pleasure to create;
- The pseudo-artist consider any other cultural manifestation (such as music) more interesting than institutional art;
- The pseudo-artist produces his art listening non-commercial music, mostly from communitary radios;
- The pseudo-artist doesn´t follow any kind of artistic manifest.
