Craven Webism: Surrealism mates with Webism : Melbourne Indymedia

CRAVEN WEBISM

We are the people responsible for, “The International Surrealist

Group” who decided to form an alliance with the art movement known as

Webism, a Digital Art movement that has been active on the internet for a

couple of years now. We contacted our fellow travelers and comrades in the

surrealist movement to put on a farce in Ohio called, “International

Surrealist Show: Surrealism mates with Webism” in Ohio back in Nov. of

2003. This was just the beginning of a short term fraud that we perpetrated

on other surrealists and the art world, trying to convince them that we were

not only revolutionaries, but surrealists as well. Xtian, our fellow comrade in

Australia, is one of the artists responsible for this sham, along with Zazie and

Bernard. Xtian is known for live surrealist performances where he eats shit

and recites his automatic parallel poems, while his girlfriend, Lady Hannah

Cadaver (another International Surrealist and Xtian’s biological mother) draws

automatic ink drawings on Xtian’s diaper. This is just part of the problem

concerning the sick and perverted fraud that these sad people have committed

against Surrealism along with our sorry selves.

Then we have our comrades in the surrealist groups, who write nothing

but lame poems and chapbooks and try to convince everyone that its derived

from Lautreamont’s Maldoror and Poems. They are fools and charlatans as well.

They are mostly homosexuals and unemployed, like us, extremely bitter at the world

that passes them by.

As things progressed and as we succumbed to much alcohol and drugs, we
then decided to take our fraud to Austria, from May 27 to July 2, 2004, an

exhibition of international surrealists that took place on the prestigious Electric

Avenue of Vienna Museumsquartier (MQ). We were busted by the Paris Surrealist

Group for being total frauds and pulling one of the most unforgivable scams on the

public and surrealism as well. Even our dog Eric, over at the coconut, wets his mat

over this problem. He is well trained, but this matter gives him such anxiety, that he

has no control over his bowels, thank goodness for comrade Xtian, the surrealist

shit-eater to come to the rescue there, but we are still a disgrace.

We are now trying to rebuild our links and alliances with the Paris Surrealist

Group, but they want nothing to do with us, hey can you blame them? Anyway, we

are still active in surrealism and inbreeding, and we hope to poison many more

galleries and artists, and the stupid public along the way. At least we have

both Eric and Xtian to liven things up, but the surrealist shit-eating is getting

played out, along with our scam on the public.
