Feral art…

1. - is any art that acts to resolve, highlight and poke a stick at social and environmental contradictions and discriminations
2. – says that all people, acting as artists, have the right to speak – through their chosen art forms – to wage a new regime in the art world – often against the vested interests of the industrialization of art through corporate, agents, national and local body controls over the freedom of languages to speak
3. – often employs humour but is not constrained thereby
4. – is mainly expressed outside the traditional art gallery and funding systems
5. – is mainly done within the bounds of current law
6. – employs any mise en scene, media, environment and art form to achieve its expression
7. – aims to change the world, shift the status quo – to make it a far fairer, healthier and better place
8. – engages and attracts individuals and groups to either anonymously or otherwise achieve its aims
9. – is boundless feralism in, mainly, direct action
10. – can test but will not harm, hurt or endanger, threaten or abuse anyone or any thing
11. – is owned by no-one and is utterly not for profit
12. – has no structure, organization or property – its is utterly a peoples movement of the likeminded
13. – is artist mandated art – not curatorial manipulation of artists to conform to what amounts to curatorial art – using artists as their paint brushes
