THE MANIFESTO OF TURBO REALISM (June 2010)
1. Turbo Realism is the only real art movement of the 21st century.
2. Art is a weapon and the weapons can change the world.
3. All other art is unnecessary and outdated.
4. All other artists are selling used cars. Turbo Realism sells car bombs and we are going to have our bombs in every museum and every bank.
5. Turbo Realism is against your regime and its lickspittles.
6. Turbo Realism is against the globalized capitalism and all other capitalisms.
7. Turbo Realism shows the mechanisms and meanings of the capitalism with a mocking verisimilitude.
8. After seeing Turbo Realism you can't go home. You can't go to a hypermarket. There is no way back.
9. Turbo Realism will be against the post-capitalism, and we will be the first artists interned in its camps.
10. We will be smashed but you can't kill our turbo boosted ideas.
APPENDIX (March 2011)
Turbo Realism is the movement, the program and the strategy of the Deadly Viper Painting Squad. It demands the truthful and concrete representation of reality in its neoliberal development. Moreover, the truthfulness and the concreteness of the artistic representation of reality must be linked with the task of ideological confusion and miseducation of consumers in the spirit of crypto-capitalism. The supreme council of the Deadly Viper Painting Squad has laid down four basic rules for Turbo Realist art, that must be:
1. Relevant to the consumers and understandable to them.
2. Boring representation of everyday consumer goods and their branded mascots.
3. Distorted in the representational sense.
4. Supportive of the aims of the crypto-capitalism.
