Ten years later, driven by disillusionment toward the corporatisation of the world, and the failure of conventional left politics, the members of Adbusters  were among the many agitators of the Seattle protests. \n\nThe magazine is renowned for its culture-jamming and\u00a0subvertising practices, as it parodies advertisements of companies such as Nike, McDonald's, Coca-Cola. Throughout the years the publication proposed collective actions like TV Turnoff Week \u2014 meaning try to avoid television for seven days \u2014 the annual Buy Nothing Day, which is self-explanatory, and it paved the way to Occupy Wall Street movement, just to name a few.\nAdbusters Media Foundation runs a bi-monthly magazine, a website, and an activist community at abillionpeople.org.\n\nThe exhibition will display their artworks, posters and magazines along with documentary material that chart climate\u00a0change, economic issues,\u00a0environmental activism, media addictions, depression, just to name a few.\u00a0It is a visual reflection of\u00a0alternative practices created\u00a0by\u00a0Adbusters\u00a0within the world of art and culture\u00a0we live in.","space":"As for the exhibition space, it could be either a museum or a public space like a library or a school.  As for the amount of posters, magazines and documentary material, we would prefer to discuss it later on, in case the proposal will be accepted and according to the available exhibition space. We are attaching a visual display of Adbusters's previous exhibition, so you can have an idea of it.","artists_proposal":"Adbusters Media Foundation","members":[{"names":"francesco","surname":"berardi BIFO","email":"franberardi@gmail.com","dni_type":"DNI","dni":"YA9446448","address":"via Zamboni 12","city":"bologna","nacionality":"italian","country_id":"113","birthdate":"1949-02-10T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1949-02-10T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"00393421506080","web":null},{"names":"lorenza","surname":"pignatti","email":"lorenzapignatti@gmail.com","dni_type":"DNI","dni":"AT5012553","address":"via G.
