Project Conception:



In the period of several post war decades in the USA and Europe  , as well
as in Russia in the 90-ties, the ultra radical tendencies such as
situationism, actionism, contecstualism played a prominent role in
contemporary  arts. The violation of any taboo existed in the society has
become the basis of  these artists  activities. This practice can be
justified from a certain  experimental point of view, namely : so far as
the psyche of a contemporary  person is subjected to the destructive
influences of sociogenic character  radical art has to offer its audience
the original vaccine against social  syndromes. But not prepared audience
consider this vaccine as an intoxication.



The neo-radical tendency proposes to refuse from  art-vaccination of
audience , from radicalistic representation of different  painful aspects
of life in art , namely : violance, death, blood, criminal, sex,
perversion, taboo vocabulary, everything that is to be adopted by censors.






To participate in the project the artists are invited to  present their
artistic works where in any case  sex ,  drugs  and   rock-and-roll 
are forbidden, blamed or ostrasized. The motto of the exhibition  is :
ARTISTS FORBID! So, the actual artists have the opportunity to come to meet
the cenzoring discourse of guazi-loyal audience.
