Art-O-Gram: RLF-Art and Protest

What is an art protest movement?

Well, a movement that uses art to protest.

The art protest movement "RLF " around architect and author Friedrich von Borries wants to protest against capitalism. She wants to overcome capitalism with its own means and, according to her own statement, wants to achieve this by transferring protest in luxury products and its consumption into a revolutionary act.

"RLF" finally manages to live the "real life in the wrong", which threatens to fail so many western protest movements. RLF revolves the resistance and simply sells the protest to capitalism.

Exciting idea of ​​how this should work, the website RLF-Propaganda.com be found. Let's take a look:

The approach to RLF is not easy

And this is not because every citizen or anger rejects the positions that RLF attacks. Rather, it is due to the "normal impossibility of the design", which not rarely makes it difficult for us to be admitted to content. But curiosity drives great reception services:

If you call up the RLF website, you will be welcomed with a said eye-dustingly shrill design-the millions since the new economy crisis should probably be woken up permanently since this succeeds, if that succeeds, a little eye pain is forgiven.

"There is no real life in the wrong one" is not only in capital letters, but also very big to read, so big that it is almost no longer noticeable.

Incidentally, RLF is the abbreviation for "really living in the wrong", because Friedrich von Borries and supporters say !!!, you can really live in the wrong one, and that makes every average subversive spirit fun and hope.

But first of all follows a little confusion, namely a line with menuPoints:

• RLF
• Resistance Ticker
• Start-A revolution
• forum
• Pursue
• Products
• calendar

A click on RLF leads back onto the homepage, and not, as actually obvious, to the link that hides behind the heading "What is RLF", which the inquisitive reader is then clicked on and led to the following page:

"Show you are not afraid" - but gladly. The goals are also explained on this page:

The fact that RLF wants to overcome capitalism with its own means that RLF is directed against increasing (child) poverty despite increasing capital volume, gamers in finance, political and police defense of an increasingly extreme inequality and perceived fainting despite the “democratic participation” that the shareholder will be invested in the revolution.

Sounds great and necessary if most readers will not yet be clear how it should be possible after reading these lines.

So continue, to the next menu point, the click on "Resistance Ticker", however, does not bring the interested reader much further. There are other menuPoints, overview (under which no overview appears, but a number of articles), Friedrich, Revolution, BTW13 (Bundestag election), internal, the wrong in the wrong, tactics and methods, slavia (which is no longer included), global resistance and other places.

Under all of these menu points you will find a whole series of interesting articles, about the Hamburg Red Flora, the NSA, the free trade zone, calls for participation in the revolution, contributions to the drone war, the struggles for power in Thailand, Fukushima, for the last federal election, a Free State in the port of Rotterdam and the investigative life model of the artist Andrea Zittel.

So here there are articles on almost everything, which you have always wanted to do and interesting articles on alternative life plans, great reading material if you do not give up and disappointed in the articles distributed in the above categories without any order - actually you still want to know what it is all about ...

So on to "Start-A Revolution" , and there is finally "real fabric", namely content, with the "Challenges", which RLF has so far provided the community:

Under "Sprücheklopfer" there are 51 comments with "striking to stupid sayings of politicians", which have remembered before or after the election, including classics such as the saying of Franz-Josef Strauß: "The democratization of society is the beginning of the anarchy." And new excitement from Angela Merkel, which was much too unnoticed without this page: she ordered Guttenberg as a minister, "and not as a scientific assistant" , and more ...

Under "excitement" 50 comments show us what citizens feel like such a feeling, further 300 contributions went to the following topics: the right life in the wrong, information and inspiration, do you still live or consume, where should the system alternative arise?, The system alternative, develop a challenge! Resistance?, Show you are not afraid!, Everything washable, go out!, The true price and free hugs.

A lot of reading material, with many further links, and the last "challenge" under Start-A Revolution is currently running: Level IV-Action-Take the Square! Under the motto: "Creating a piece of public space and post a link to a photo of your action!", More on www.rlf-propaganda.com .

There was already more of RLF on Arte, because the broadcaster accompanied the activities of the art protest movement "RLF" around Friedrich von Borries with a TV documentary in August 2013, which was broadcast on ARTE on February 10, 2014 at 11:30 p.m. The title: "RLF - Art Protest from Berlin", there is an insight in the following video contribution:
