CCAM Casoria Contemporary Art Museum
Il CCAM Casoria Contemporary Art Museum nasce nel 2005 con la volontà di divenire polo culturale, laboratorio sperimentale, ma soprattutto punto di riferimento per un'arte contemporanea universale e dal contesto aperto.
Fondato e diretto da Antonio Manfredi, parte dalla considerazione generale che una raccolta d'arte pubblica sia specchio dell'arte e della cultura del proprio tempo. Per questo motivo l'attenzione del team museale è incentrata su un obiettivo fondamentale: che il Museo sia un punto di riferimento culturale, vivace e stimolante per tutti e non un luogo statico. Il Museo pertanto si prefigge di essere luogo di incontro e di scambio, grazie ad ampi programmi e ad iniziative culturali rivolte ai visitatori.
CAM Casoria Contemporay Art Museum
ENGLISH
CAM_Casoria Contemporary Art Museum was born in 2005 with the aim to become a cultural pole, an experimental laboratory but, above all, as a point of reference for universal contemporary art with an open context.
Founded and directed by Antonio Manfredi, starts from the general consideration that a public collection of art is mirror of the times art and culture. Therefore the attention of the museum team is focused on a fundamental aim: the Museum to be a cultural reference point, stimulating for everybody and not at all a static place. The Museum means therefore to be a place of meeting and exchange, with wide and several cultural programs addressed to the visitors.
This operation is meant to create a village of shapes, a kind of ideal city, where the present works live together in an harmonious way, allowing them to express their differences.
CAM_Casoria Contemporary Art Museum was not born as mere cultural exhibition machine, not even as museum containing simulacra, but it is close to how we would like a museum to be today: a place where culture and research is produced, where didactics is carried, stimulating an hermeneutic experience of the contemporary, where creativity is visualized, where the current aesthetic complexity is known and practiced.
The collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Casoria is open to an international growth; worldwide artists are in there with no prejudices on regards of any country nor ethnicity.
The main objective is to bring closer and involve all of those interested to contemporary art and sensible to the fast revolution of expressive forms all over the world. Through periodical workshops – where artists are invited and involved – the interaction between artists exposing and visitors is carried so as to make contemporary art clear and comprehensible to all those people willing to open up their own horizons.
It extends on an area of 3.500 sm ca out of which 3.000 sm are permanent exhibition.
It permanently exposes and has acquired in its collection 1000 works ca of contemporary art of painting, sculpture, photography, video and installations by important worldwide artists.
Its multimedia and far east art collection is among the biggest and its collection of contemporary Neapolitan artists (from the second post-war period till today) is among the most complete in Italy.
Among its activities is the promotion, exhibition, cataloguing, collection of works and books on contemporary art.
Travelling exhibitions and events are also carried in cooperation with important overseas Museums of Contemporary Art. Guided tours through its spaces for teachers, pupils and students are also arranged.

In February 2011 Antonio Manfredi, the director of the Contemporary Art Museum (CAM) in Casoria/Italy, wrote to Chancellor Angela Merkel pleading for asylum for his museum in Germany to escape the crime-ridden town in which his art collection is housed. The museum director explained he was fed up with mafia threats and a government that is failing to protect Italys rich cultural heritage.
Chancellor Merkels office was clearly unmoved by Mr Manfredis appeal for asylum. A spokeswoman said there would be no official response to his letter as it was considered a form of public protest rather than a genuine asylum application.

Come annunciato, il CAM, il museo di arte contemporanea di Casoria, inizia a bruciare le opere d'arte della sua collezione permanente. Secondo quanto asserisce il direttore Antonio Manfredi, che per primo ha sacrificato a marzo la sua opera che ha partecipato alla Biennale di Venezia, le 1.000 opere di arte contemporanea internazionale che il CAM custodisce andrebbero ugualmente verso la distruzione per l'indifferenza delle istituzioni. Per tre volte a settimana, alla presenza degli artisti o collegamenti via web, un'opera verrà bruciata perché dall'appello fatto con CAMouflage, che vedeva tutte le opere del museo coperte a lutto e non più visibili al visitatore, nulla è cambiato. Nell'Italia dello spreco del denaro pubblico, in cui i tagli alla cultura sembrano essere la soluzione per risolvere la crisi, la latitanza delle Istituzioni ha reso necessaria una seria azione di protesta attraverso la progressiva cancellazione di quello che dovrebbe essere considerato un bene comune ma che non è tutelato come tale. L'azione ha avuto inizio martedì 17 aprile 2012 alle ore 18.00 e proseguirà fino alla completa distruzione delle mille opere della collezione permanente.
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 and by the President of the Campania Region, Stefano Caldoro, 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 and will continue until the total destruction of all the permanent collection if there will not be some serious answers from the Italian and European institutions.

STORYLINE
For a second consecutive day, the director of a contemporary art museum in a small Italian town near Naples has burned a piece of artwork to protest against a shortage of funds.
Antonio Manfredi set alight a piece of artwork by Neapolitan artist Rosaria Matarese on Wednesday night outside the Museum of Contemporary Art in Casoria, which is housed in the basement of a public school in the hinterland of the southern city.
A day earlier he burned a painting by a French artist.
Both artists had given their consent.
Manfredi had threatened to burn paintings if financial help wasn''t promised for the private museum.
This is protest, I think this is revolution, art revolution. I think that what is important is that the artists understand that this museum is important for good art in Italy but also in Europe, he said.
Italy''s museums have been strapped for funds for decades, but art world officials say the economic crisis has made things much worse.
Officials of the centre-left Democratic Party appealed to the government on Wednesday for funds for the museum.
Matarese, who is also an art teacher, said it was painful to see her work set alight but if it saved the museum it was a small price to pay.
The artist said the work was worth approximately 6-thousand to 7-thousand Euros (7,800-9,100 US Dollars).

CAM Art War | The revolution of the artists
by Antonio Manfredi, artist and director of CAM Museum
The final aim of artistic production is the work of art, unique and untouchable, an extension of human self-consciousness meant as an understanding of the human condition in contemporary society.
To destroy it with fire means to deny its intended function, almost an act of vandalism modifying its original meaning and turning it into means of social protest. When artists to do with a sense of solidarity, this gesture becomes a protest against the status quo. CAM Art War is peaceful revolution engaged in by artists and the intellectuals to fight against homogenization the cultures.
We live in a period of heavy social and political movements. Peoples protests, especially so in this historical period. It is a movement against the ravages of unbridled capitalistic greed to and an outcry for freedom against their repressed exasperation.
The longing for freedom is not just for populations under dictatorship but also for the social classes oppressed by a financial instability conditioning their lives. New enemies came out, banks, financial groups, economy lobbies leading and monopolizing the market.
The same is happening in the world of art and culture; in the contemporary art world the power is in the hands of bank foundations, huge galleries and super collectors. Auctioneers control art biennials and big fairs meanwhile museums boards of directors are collected through political and strategic agreements.
Governments, powerless or sometimes in collusion, encourage the powerful and diminish democratic cultural and scientific research. The economic crisis that we are all experiencing has squeezed democracy into the domain of the economist, the banker, and the Chancellors of Exchequers who have created conditions that have become painful for the people. Their decisions based on right wing economic arguments become an unsustainable burden for crisis economies. All they seek is a cash profit that benefits the wealthy few.
Dealings in the arts is accomplished by powerful media structures, related to those huge financial centres which support exhibitions and spaces close to ribald free market economic philosophy. Nothing can rise from the bottom, everything is Merchandising, Benefit, Marketing, entire generations of artists are just figureheads with no future. Gone is the notion that democracy is a function that raises the wellbeing of the populous. We are left with a wasteland inhabited by an under-class.
Museums, libraries and experimental theaters need capital to function. The low common denominator of the market that responds to instant gratification are easy outlets for the quick buck philosophies of both government and private sponsorships.
Therefore, CAM museum, operating in on one of the most degraded areas of Southern Italy, conveying social messages through art, like the fight against organized crime and that way of thinking; proposing research and experimentation as an alternative to the star system and to the IKEA Museums, proposes a challenge with a big international performance, entitled CAM Art War.
The participating artists will realize, though in different places but with the same goal, a meaningful gesture of protest against the situation of art and culture, a cultural revolution.
Artists are acting as they would never be expected to do in a civil society, they are burning their works, the product of their creation, the way Governments, finance and multinationals are doing with their dreams.
The ashes and pieces of burned art works in the video are of the following artists who participated in the action of CAM Art War.

Wie versprochen, beginnt CAM, das Museum für zeitgenössische Kunst in Casoria, mit dem Verbrennen seiner Kunstwerke aus der permanenten Ausstellung. Der Direktor Antonio Manfredi hat als Erster seine Arbeit, mit der er an der letzten Biennale von Venedig teilgenommen hat bereits im März geopfert, wie auch immer es ausgeht besteht für die rund 1.000 zeitgenössischen Kunstwerke globaler Herkunft die derzeit im CAM verwahrt werden, die immanente Gefahr im Feuer zerstört zu werden wegen der stumpfen Gleichgültigkeit der öffentlichen Anstallten/Verwaltung.
Mit dem Aufruf, den wir am CAM verwirklichen wollen, wird dreimal in der Woche ein Kunstwerk verbrannt werden. Kunst soll diese lodernden Flammen nähren. Um zugleich, als Ausdruck unser Trauer, einen Nachruf zu verleihen, wird die Austellung verhüllt und ist so den Besuchern nicht mehr sichtbar. In einem Land wie Italien machen die Verschwendung öffentlicher Mittel, Kulturkürzung als Krisenprävention und das Warten auf die austehende Antwort der Präsidentin für Kultur und Bildung im Europäischen Parlament (Doris Pack), Minister für Kulturgüter (Lorenzo Ornaghi) und Präsident der Region Kampanien (Stefano Caldoro PdL), drastische Handlungen notwendig wie die Zerstörung durch elementare Kraft von geschützten Gütern (Kunst), aber leider nicht als Schützenwert angesehen werden. Die Aktion wird am Donnerstag, den 17. April ab 06.00.

CAM MUSEUM is home to TACHELES
After gaining its space, CAM museum recovers the art revolution by offering a political/cultural asylum to the Berlin Tacheles, center for art closed up last September by German authorities. Even Germany, although leading the economic power of Europe is submitted to finance and banking damaging culture.
Riconquistato lo spazio espositivo, il Museo CAM continua la rivoluzione dell'arte e offre l'asilo politico/culturale al centro artistico Tacheles di Berlino chiuso a settembre 2012 dalle autorità tedesche. Anche la Germania, che detiene il potere economico dell'Europa, conferma la propria sottomissione alla finanza e alle banche a scapito della cultura.
Nachdem das CAM Museum seine Ausstellungsräume zurück gewonnen hat, geht die Art Revolution weiter. Das CAM bietet dem im September von den Berliner Behörden geschlossenen Kunsthaus Tacheles politisches und kulturelles Asyl. Auch die Bundesrepublik Deutschland, trotz ihrer wirtschaftlichen Führungsrolle in Europa, ist der Zerstörung von Kultur durch Finanzmärkte und Banken ausgesetzt.

The CAM museum and its director Antonio Manfredi revolution against the critical situation of cultural spaces in Italy and worldwide keeps going on. CAM museum, first to arrange the protest, keeps on fighting to protect a common value, thus welcoming the appeal of the Tacheles Kunsthaus in Berlin by sustaing and hosting it, offering it asylum in its exhibition spaces. As far as 2011 CAM requested Germany for political/cultural asylum with a letter to Angela Merkel, and now offers itself as place for the refugee works of the artists of the Berlin gallery by permanently dedicating them a hall. Tacheles, international center for art managed by artists in the very heart of the german city since 1990 after the Berlin wall fall, hosted the CAM exhibition Maybe and has been definitely forced to close last September by german authorities. In its place a shopping center, thus deleting tens of years of history and cultural vivacity. It is against all this that the art revolution, CAM Art War, arose by involving a big number of international artists and cultural institutions, making the powder keg of the world of art unrest explode. Abandoned by their own institutions and often forced to interrupt their activities due to lack of funds, the places of culture and the employees appeal with sorrow to survival by means of a pacific protest and CAM Art War by offering a political/cultural asylum provides a strong signal of solidarity and another gesture of protest.
Continua la rivoluzione del museo CAM e del suo direttore Antonio Manfredi contro la drammatica situazione degli spazi culturali, in Italia e nel mondo. Il museo CAM, iniziatore e capofila della protesta, continua la propria battaglia in difesa di un bene comune, e risponde all'appello degli artisti della Tacheles Kunsthaus di Berlino sostenendoli e offrendo asilo nei propri spazi espositivi. Dopo la richiesta di asilo politico/culturale fatta alla Germania con una lettera ad Angela Merkel nel 2011, il CAM si offre esso stesso come luogo di rifugio per le opere degli artisti dello storico spazio berlinese e dedica permanentemente una sala dei suoi spazi agli esuli tedeschi. La Tacheles, il centro d'arte internazionale gestito da artisti nel cuore della capitale tedesca attivo fin dal 1990 all'indomani della caduta del muro di Berlino, che aveva ospitato la grande mostra, Maybe, proprio del museo CAM, è stata infatti costretta a chiudere definitivamente a settembre 2012 dalle autorità tedesche. Al suo posto sorgerà un centro commerciale cancellando decenni di storia e di vivacità culturale. Proprio contro queste situazioni si è scatenata la rivoluzione dell'arte, CAM Art War, che, dal CAM, ha coinvolto innumerevoli artisti e istituzioni culturali internazionali, ed ha fatto esplodere la polveriera del malcontento del mondo dell'arte. Abbandonati a se stessi dalle istituzioni e spesso costretti ad interrompere le proprie attività per mancanza di fondi, i luoghi della cultura e gli addetti al settore lanciano un appello accorato per la sopravvivenza attraverso una rivolta pacifica; CAM Art War e l'asilo politico/culturale offerto dal CAM è un forte segnale di solidarietà ed un ennesimo gesto di protesta.

CAM Art War_La rivoluzione degli artisti
L'oggetto finale della produzione artistica è l'opera d'arte, unica e intoccabile, un'estensione dell'autocoscienza umana intensa come comprensione del sé e della società di riferimento.
Cancellarla con il fuoco significa negarne la sacralità, quasi un gesto vandalico che ne modifica il significato iniziale e che la trasforma in veicolo di protesta sociale. Se a farlo sono gli stessi artisti, il gesto diventa rivoluzione: CAM Art War. E' la rivoluzione pacifica degli artisti e degli intellettuali che portano avanti la propria battaglia contro l'omologazione delle culture e contro le spaventose disuguaglianze sociali che ha creato il mercato globale.

L'Arte della corruzione (CAM Art War Project)
Quando l'arte è una coltellata al potere i volti dei politici possono diventare oggetto d'arte e denuncia sociale. Sono più di 100 i parlamentari indagati, condannati o prescritti che siedono nel Parlamento italiano. Gli stessi che hanno votato una legge anticorruzione, che non li danneggerà, gli stessi che, con i loro comportamenti diretti ed indiretti, muovono un giro di affari che succhia alle casse pubbliche 60 miliardi di euro ogni anno.

The Art of corruption (CAM Art War Project)
When Art is a stab to the Power the faces of the politicians become objects of Art and of social complaint. More than 100 are the inquired, condemned or statute barred members sitting in the Italian Parliament. Those same ones who voted a bill against corruption which will not damage themselves, those ones leading -- with their direct or indirect behavior -- a business sucking yearly 60 billion of euros from the State coffers.

Gli artisti Mario pesce a fore (posse che negli anni novanta criticava con irruzioni di terrorismo estetico performatico il sistema dell'arte contemporanea in grado solo di determinare artisti visivi dal pensiero unico omologato) che hanno partecipato all'azione di rivendicazione di una idea di spazio pubblico da sostenere per tutelare l'autonomia e la libera autodeterminazione della ricerca artistica sono stati:

L'azione mira a spammare nuove figure di artisti visivi in grado di determinare e rappresentare un altro sistema dell'arte dove gli artisti in quanto liberi professionisti privi di filtro siano in grado di proporsi e promuoversi in rete nell'interesse della propria comunità e del proprio territorio di riferimento, in grado di resistere per continuare a fare esistere linguaggi artistici che sappiano fare tesoro delle differenze, invece di negarle per brama di affermazione e interesse di mercato.

COSTERNATO PER CIO' CHE HA FATTO MANFREDI PARLA COMMOSSO: QUI TUTTO TACE. LA VERITA' E' CHE ARTE E CULTURA NON INTERESSANO A NESSUNO, MEN CHE MAI IN QUESTO PERIODO DI RECESSIONE. DUNQUE ANDREMO AVANTI COSI', COME VOGLIONO LE ISTITUZIONI. NIENT' ALTRO CHE CENERE. E' QUELLO CHE RISCHIA IL CAM DI CASORIA IN ASSENZA DI UN CONCRETO SEGNALE DI ATTENZIONE.
