STATEMENT
Culture-Front
Manifest.

The Culture Front is at war against impersonality on open cultural arena. The Fronts aim is to free new environments as oases to create selected art projects. Culture Fronts opponent is not some concrete establishment, institution, an enterprise or the market. Culture Fronts only interest is the person, anonymous majority which uses others sovereign creative natural aggressiveness i.e. boldness and creativity. Culture Front is against collectively degenerative (superficial, primitive etc.) qualities of human nature. All Culture Fronts art projects originate from this abstract image of the enemy. Culture Fronts mission is to personify the prevailing mentality given in the people, bring into consciousness and neutralize, questioning all symbolic motives of a narrow-minded society in the whole. Culture Front is not staged project or game and never was such. Organizers and supporters of the opposition lines take with full seriousity its past, present and future projects,
seeing impossibility of inferiority in present limited time of human existence.
