Collaborative Curatorial Work

Capitalism Is Over! If You Want It is a series of interruptions/actions launched in July 2010 by artists from around the world in response to the need for a fundamental shift in our approach to Capitalism and the negative impact it has on the environment, health, and well being of all. The status-quo is not sustainable. The title of the project references John and Yoko’s “War is Over if You Want It” campaign of the 70’s and aims to employ art in a similar manner but at a more grassroots level. Since we started the project, we've learned that Phil Ochs is the originator of the "War Is Over" concept. See his "Have You Heard? The War Is Over!" article excerpted in the Village Voice, 1967, which calls for a public collaborative piece in the social practice mode.
