CAM museum burns its artworks collection

As promised, CAM, museum of contemporary art in Casoria, starts the burning of its permanent collection artworks. The director Antonio Manfredi, the first to sacrifice last March his work presented to the past Venice Biennial says “anyway the 1.000 international contemporary artworks preserved at CAM would face destruction due to the indifference of institutions”. Three times a week one work of art will be burned as since the call realized on occasion of CAMouflage, with all them covered as a mourning and no longer visible to the visitors, nothing has changed. In a country like Italy where the waste of public money, where cuts to culture funds look as a solution to crisis, the miss of an answer by the President for Culture and Education at the European Parliament, Doris Pack, by the Italian Minister for Cultural Heritage and Activities, Lorenzo Ornaghi, by the President of the Campania Region, Stefano Caldoro and by the Major of Casoria city, Vincenzo Carfora, made necessary a serious action of protest through a progressive cancellation of what should be considered as public goods but not as such protected. The action is starting on Thursday the 17th of April at 6.00pm with the destruction of the painting of the French artist Severine Bourguignon (online connected through Skype), followed by the works by Astrid Stöfhas (Germany), John Brown (Wales_UK), Qing Yue (China), Cheikh Moustapha Ndiaye (Senegal), Josè D’Apice (Brasil), Mohamed Alaa (Egypt), Filippos Tsitsopoulos (Greece), Fabio Donato (Italy), Lello Lopez (Italy), Rosaria Matarese (Italy), Tony Stefanucci (Italy), all present either on place or through web connection.
