The 0.99 ONE NIGHT STAND GRANT

We invite artists. collectives, curators, and cultural organizers to play the City, and occupy together time and intellectual property in an act of collective resistance, against the changing tenants of our urban realities.

By collectively exposing the injustice in the living and working condition of artists and cultural producers on the margins today, we are actively working to rebuild the broken connections between artist, community, and the institution, while creating a public forum platform. We are de-schooling the artist and using collaboration as a tool for resistance against unjust system and the institutions that prop it.

Grant Rules:

We are here to make your work impossible and we are surely working towards making the process as confusing, time-consuming, and impossible to gain access to, as any other funding and legal compliance systems. It all comes back to the church of Art. We take no responsibility for you and you should not take any responsibility for us - reciprocity is overrated. Duality too.

The Dadais Americanus Productions with offices in U.S.A. and Europe, commissions and funds transmedia works, done under the pseudonym of Dadais Americanus and with the intent to transform points of conflict into co-created  IP Art, thus bringing healing attention to the alienation that exists between artists and cultural producers and the commercialization of art. 

Dadais Americanus is a pseudonym used for Art made in the COMMONS that was registered with the US Copyright Office in 2020. Any creator can assume this name for a DaDA performance under the PPAC copyright license, and for artistic transgressions that defy the systems of power. For example, PPAC is a co-created IP Art by Pro Arts & OccupyIP. So is the Reframing essay (scroll down the page).

WHAT WE DO 

As a collective, Dadais Americanus empowers artists to exclude the excluders by asking each participant in our commons to create a morals clause, which details the ways in which an artist wants their art to *not* be used. We then combine all of these morals clauses into a copyright license that governs our commons. Transforming a morals clause into legally enforceable language can be a bit tricky, so the first act of our experiment is to ask participants to tell us, in their own words, how they want their art to not be used.
