The Valley of the Workers Busy with the Workers of the art today occupied PAC Milan rimoninadolo as Art City Hall .
The intent, as the Valley, is to turn it into an original laboratory political and artistic languages ​​open doors. The CAP was specifically designed for modern and contemporary art, and today will launch the space in which owned a town meeting to discuss the position of working men and women of knowledge and to create a new way to support and share the artistic production. Citizens and art workers consider the CAP as a living space, in respect of what is planned at this time, and feel entitled to enter outside of all logic of delegation, to take care of directly.

Below is the press release issued today:

Busy TeatroValle

We are working women and men show that from June 14 occupy the Teatro Valle with many colleagues, artists, professionals, technicians, students, and free citizens. We have occupied and continue to occupy in order to resist the removal of spaces, resources and funding to arts, entertainment, research, public education and together and radically transform the system from the bottom of the cultural production in Italy. In these months the Valley Theatre has become an artistic and political laboratory – a public space in which we experience new forms for a shared action. We practice daily the direct democracy of the commons. The commons is not an abstract concept arise when a community in which they were stolen, struggle to reclaim. Every day we try to imagine and implement new management devices: – a model artistic. Practices in our theaters, cinemas, museums, libraries become places of culture alive and intense relationships, open to all twenty four hours a day. Public spaces for experimentation, and residence for artists, continuing education of the citizenry. – a legal model. We are writing a statute that flows from the right of live fights and has two highly innovative elements: the management of shared citizenship and the autonomy of workers and employees of the show. – an economic model which through alternative forms of ownership and financing bypasses the ‘alternative between the bureaucratic administration of the state and the logic of profit private law. It is no coincidence that in this historical moment in Italy has its own culture to continue to express dissent and conflict, because after decades of violent dismantling of the public system and impoverishment of the language we do not want to delegate. Because we believe that research, knowledge, and live a different idea of social wealth are the answer sets all’austherity banks, markets and governments that express interest. Why do we think that more and more different people express the desire for a radical transformation, not entrusted to the alternation of the election, but the creative power to do together. Our artistic languages ​​and our knowledge are the weapons we have available to read and write this, and that there we are left to subtract. busy, even now, to take care of what is ours.
