WHAT:  Artworks in the media of performative interventions, stickers, posters, web presence, video projections and more. Specific project descriptions to follow in weekly press releases.

WHY:  Capitalism Is Over! If You Want It is a series of interruptions/actions    launched 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 powerful “WAR IS OVER If You Want It”   campaign.

Project examples include: 

This Little Piggy Went To Market (Megan Wilson) is a pink plush pig pushing a shopping cart through the financial district giving away hand made signs exposing economic inequities.

Together We Can Defeat Capitalism (TWCDC), a guerrilla art group fighting capitalism since 1996, sticks (it) to the system once again ferrying a hostage Piggy around downtown in “Das Vegetal” and offering stickers with the slogan Capitalism is Over If You Want it.

Consumers on Strike! hold signs and march around the shopping district beginning at Macys and ending in the park.

Daily Slots (Eliza Barrios and Paz De la Calzada) repurposes news stands located along Market and Montgomery Street with alternative messages focusing on the economy, consumerism and the un-sustainability of the capitalistic culture.

New York Times Action (Francesca Pastine) covers the NYTimes with graphite pencils, engaging with passersbys about the nature of censorship and the meaning of information.
