以一篇捏造出來的報導開端，其醫學報告顯示，在現代性之後，藝術教育長期地暴露在性別／種族歧視、歐洲中心、男性中心的意識形態之下，其對男性生殖器官產生無以彌補之傷害，男性生殖器癌症，為藝術相關領域的長期職業病。
而為了抗議此致命之生殖器癌症、與大眾的漠視，藝術家本人拒絕參與此次論壇雙年展，並將長期罷工至得到相關單位回應為止，並且於展場中建立街壘，號召所有觀眾參與此次運動…。
社會抗議為一高度美學化之形式，其之旗幟、標語跟口號在於街頭製造視覺震撼，其又如同樂曲一般經過構思與結構規劃，並以空間佈局，成為社會雕塑。在抗爭之中，也存在一永遠之二元論：一頭是商業體系／國家機器／資本家等等，其以系統的力量進行剝削等等，另一頭是受壓迫者，以抗議作為之權力鬥爭的工具，以其道德高度，透過抗爭，以彰顯一不為人知之真實。
此虛構運動截取所有「社會運動」、「抗爭」的視覺符號與文本，以建構出另一虛擬的抗議，作為一抗議擬仿物、一無效運動，此無效運動則因其的無效性，而具有政治基進性：其抗議的是抗議本身所宣稱（抑或擔保）之有效性，同時，作為一場抗議的抗議，因其的虛構性、荒誕性，其反對的是其本身所代表的真實性。（文／Bbrother）

Art Strike

According to a recent study by the WHO, art education has been linked to a dramatic increase in dick cancer. Results from the study indicated a remarkable increased risk of dick cancer in men or women who under an art education or related career for one year or longer. As such, the artist, myself, is compelled to take the decision to strike. I refuse to produce artworks which contribute to this Forum Biennial which is damaging people’s health. I will carry on protest until my demands are met. This is an art strike and I am calling for workers, students and the public to join hands and solidarity to this struggle.
There is aesthetics in social protests. Protests require arrangement of time and space like social symphony and sculptures. Slogans, banners, drums sounds and fury in it are forms create an impact to the spectators. Thus, statements can be made and massages can be delivered. The form of protest is based on a logic: there is an eternal binary opposition within the form of protests. On the one hand are the supposed governmental/commercial institutions which are systematically exploiting specific marginal groups. On the other are the assumed suppressed who are forced to adapt protest as an instrument for the struggle of power. Thus, the purpose of protest is to reveal the ‘truth’. By means of exposing the truth, protests can be the embodiment of the notions of equality, human rights, justice and so on.
This art strike is composed of various visual elements and texts from different real social events. As a fictional protest, its ‘invalidity’ guarantees its political radicality; its target is the vows to the ‘validity’ and ‘truth’ claimed by the form of protests. (Text by Bbrother)
