Declaration of Independence
The Provisional Government
of the
AUTONOMOUS REPUBLIC OF CREATIVE PRACTITIONERS
To the Global Community:
We declare the right of the creative practitioner to the
ownership of a mapped section of this world and to
the independent control of this territory.
In every generation, the artist has asserted their right to freedom of expression
and creative autonomy: therefore we hereby proclaim
'The Autonomous Republic of Creative Practitioners'
as a sovereign and independent state
and we pledge to work creatively and with purpose towards the cause of its freedom,
of its welfare and of its exaltation among the nations of the world.
The Autonomous Republic offers to support and be supported
by each and every creative practitioner.
The Republic guarantees equal rights and opportunities
to all its citizens and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation
and of all its parts, cherishing all the creative citizens of the nation equally.
Until our borders are mapped to mark the opportune moment
for the establishment of the Republic,
a provisional national boundary hereby constituted,
will hold the Republic in trust for the people.
After the dissolution of such boundaries of the Republic,
this mapped territory may continue to exist in a virtual state.
At this supreme hour we place the cause of the
Autonomous Republic under the protection of
'The Society of Creative Liberty and Freedom of Expression'.

Temporary Autonomous Zones
The Artists Collaborative will create Temporary Autonomous Zones at various locations in time and space.The Republics' first mapped territory was created on O'Connell Bridge, Dublin on Thursday 19th February 2009. A Temporary Autonomous Zone is a physical manifestation of a state of mind: freedom of expression, creative autonomy and artistic independence. Hereafter, the artistic zones will not nessacerily be declared in advance but may occur spontaneously and without warning.
Boundary
This is art beyond the boundary of art object.
This is art beyond the gallery space.
This is art for the people.
This is a state of mind.
This is art beyond the gallery space.
This is art for the people.
This is a state of mind.
Global Network
'The Autonomous Republic of Creative Practitioners' may be established in any location worldwide. We aim to have a global link where possible by creating our Temporary Autonomous Zones in view of an existing live webcam. Our art interventions and events may therefore be viewed globally. The concept exists beyond the form of the art object. It is not for sale.
Interact
The artists collaborative is open to real and virtual interactions with other creative practitioners and members of the public. These interactions may take the form of workshops,online discussions or the creation of a Temporary Autonomous Zone in a specific location. Themes may include creative autonomy, art beyond the boundary of object making and freedom of expression in both an individual and global context. Politics, society and art merge.
