The organization of this meeting is proposed in order to discuss the international financial crisis and prevailing monetary exchange systems among artists who deal with the issue of the economy in their work through the tactical use of the media, the appropriation of corporate strategies or irony.  Banks, technology companies and even micro-nations are just a few examples of the corporations (some fictitious, and others not), created by the artists invited.
The main objective of the meeting will be to elaborate a document as a declaration regarding the current state of the crisis that will include the positions adopted by these “corporations” in the face of the crisis, along with a series of proposals and alternative actions agreed upon by their representatives.  This declaration, along with the proposals set forth by each “corporation” will be compiled in a publication.
