AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Etcetera Collective
http://grupoetcetera.wordpress.com/
Composed of visual artists, poets and actors, the collective Etcetera began in 1997 in Buenos Aires. They bring art to where social conflict is born, in the streets, and then carry this conflict into the arenas of cultural production, including the media and art institutions. They enter the urban scene as a statement of protest or denunciation, and as a consequence they refer to a time and a specific place. Their practice is characterized by humor, poetic research and deconstruction that shapes a new kind of committed art: free from banal rhetoric and often very sarcastic and "incorrect." In 2005 they took part in the founding of the International Errorist Movement, an international organization that claims the error as a philosophy of life.
