Here, the materialization on a human scale of an openly polemical text is not intended to create a consensus. On the contrary, it is a confrontation, due to the very nature of the text - negative, resulting from the repetitive presence of the articles do not, not, nor. However, this work is also an invitation to debate, asserting that art is anything but the things stated, and above all, that art is not a negation. ART CAN ONLY EXIST and existence cannot be negative, it is necessarily positive, proactive.
art is weak
it has nothing
no capital no armies no weapons
no slogan no moral no utopia
no god no authority
no progress no practical use
it cannot dominate it cannot kill it cannot buy
it cannot change anything
it can't do anything
he can only exist
