The *Antagonist Art Movement* is a cultural movement
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_movement> formed in New York, New
York <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York,_New_York> in 2000.[1]
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antagonist_Movement#cite_note-1>[2]
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antagonist_Movement#cite_note-2> The group
grew out of desperation and in reaction to the New York art market. The
movement primarily involves visual arts
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_arts>, literature
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literature>, film
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film>, art manifestos and graphic design
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_design>. It articulates its
anti-commercial politics through a rejection of the prevailing standards in
the art market and focuses its efforts on creating non-commercial cultural
works and venues. Its purpose is to ridicule the meaninglessness,
superficiality and artificiality
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificiality> of the commercial art
world. The Antagonists foster emerging talent by providing opportunities
for the exhibition of works, networking with other artists, mentoring and
resources. The Antagonist Movement has worked with more than 3,500 artists
from around the world over the past 14 years.
