/^eo^a>/c/ Ff^s^ £^c( f Ft o tn 2 (e a) ^l37gA7S c Art (Public) ... the durability of cultures require that there be space for figures whose function is to uncover and disrupt the very things that cultures are based on. — Lewis Hyde, Trickster Makes This World: Mischief, Myth, and Art The mythical trickster crosses boundaries and breaks the rules by using humor and subterfuge. In our culture, artists like The Yes Men, Steve Lambert, Not an Alternative, and Leopold Masterson are our current contemporary tricksters extraordinaire, pursuing social change with any useful tools that are available to them.After Occupy Wall Street was cleared away and half-forgotten, after WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden, after Citizens United and the Koch brothers, global warming and the BP oil spill, Ferguson and Baltimore, few artists are under the illusion that the truth will influence change. So why not try mischief and lies? Why not have a little fun with it along the way? And why not plant the seed of possibility by simply announcing a desirable truth through a very convincing promotion? The banners for ProVide Marketplace (pictured in this book) that appeared on the abandoned and neglected historic Arcade in Providence, Rhode Island in 2011, along with press releases, Facebook and Twitter accounts, food samplings, and brochures, caused a real buzz in the local media. When it was revealed that the amazingly slick and convincing promotion was a hoax, there was anger from City Hall to academe. But why were people so angry? Didn’t the tricksters accomplish their disruptive job? Is it possible that the prank pushed the developer to speed up the revival of the building? Was it a coincidence that the developer responded to the prank by saying that the building improvements, stalled for years, would begin “within six months?” Was it a coincidence that the banners for the real opening of the Arcade, pushed into the limelight and then fast- tracked, looked shockingly similar to the fake ones? The term “culture jamming” was coined in the mid 1 980s but the roots of the concept can be traced to the French Lettrists and Situationists thirty years earlier. In America in the ‘80s the Guerrilla Girls’ posters and actions challenged the art world with their witty feminist facts while Gran Fury launched their poster campaigns about the AIDS crisis with lines like “Read my lips” on a poster of same-sex couples kissing in a parody of George H.W. Bush’s slogan. In the ‘90s, the Barbie Liberation Front swapped the voice boxes of Gl Joe and Barbie and shop- dropped them back into stores, and game-designer Jacques Servin slipped some kissing male swimmers into the popular video game SimCopter. In 2009, a group of artists including the Yes Men and Steve Lambert created the “fake New York Times;” it was distributed to unsuspecting New Yorkers with the banner headline, “Iraq War Ends.” The spirit of this headline was, in fact, something of a tradition: Singer Phil Ochs organized “The War is Over” rally in 1 967 to protest the Vietnam War, and John Lennon andYoko Ono erected a billboard with the words “War is Over! If You Want It” in ‘68. Leopold Masterson works within this tradition but pushes it into edgy new realms. He is an actor, media manipulator, graphic designer, artist, and seducer; he uses all and every material to play with our expectations and our biases. In his brilliant promotion for “Homosexual Friendly Sundays” he puts the words he wants to hear into the mouths of the people he wants to say them and lets the chips fall where they may. By co-opting graphic styles that speak to particular audiences, he makes campaigns that are remarkably convincing such as his hilarious billboard in Brooklyn for a medical marijuana dispensary. He stirs controversy by using both mainstream and social media to create these convincing campaigns, even acting as a bystander in televised “man on the street” interviews. Yet he rarely claims authorship of these campaigns (except in this book) making the media scramble for someone to pin them on. In this book you are holding, fearless mischief, manic sunniness, and totally incautious optimism suffuse the work. Enjoy observing one of the only avenues of change we may have left to us, and seeing someone crazy-bold enough to attempt it.

I first saw the attached advertisement for The Real Housewives of Atlanta this morning at Lenox Square Mall on a wall. When I was out running errands later in the day at North Point Mall I came across a ton more of these offensive advertisements that are produced by a major television network rifling on the Black Lives Matter movement. Who does Bravo think they are to put up such racially insensitive materials!? Major corporations do not have the right to do say these types of things! This is what is continuing to oppress the masses! I tore down one of the posters I found because it was not well attached to the wall. You can see the images from my camera. Thank you Gertrude D (j 6 O © s © 2 ^ ^ 7^ -O "O 2 -c n o o y /2015/01/22/they-say-kenya-moore-behind-offensive-black-wives-rriatter-posters/ The email reads contains what they call photographic proof, and states: from: jamal Jones to: StraightFromTheA date: Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 3:16 PM subject: RHOA posters To whom it may concern, We would like to start by apologizing for our involvement in the Black Wives Matter Bravo TV Real Housewives of Atlanta posters. This was never supposed to happen the way it did. We are part of a design team from Chicago that also works out of New York City. We were hired by who we believe was a representative of Ms. Kenya Moore in early December to design and print these posters. We are deeply sorry for propagating social injustice and pain in America. We are coming out about this because it has conflicted with our morals as a multi-racial design team. Major corporations and celebrities continue to exploit our culture for economic gain and as designers need to begin to stand our ground. Unfortunately through the Atlanta team’s manipulation techniques they are attempting to gain recognition through controversy and we feel this is immoral. This must stop NOW. Bravo and their affiliates must be held accountable because they continue to promote bad role models and distract our culture of the critical issues facing our country. To prove it was us we attached the original .PSD file with all the separate image layers. The posters were sent early Jan to a PO box in Atlanta. We do not know who put them up or where but we sent 50 total. We are trying to stop the rest from being put up. We are deeply sorry to anyone this hurt or angered. Again, we cannot apologize enough for allowing this period of cultural havoc to break down our already fragile society. Sincerely, Jamal J, Shannon G and Seoyeon M No shade to anyone who ran ndtli the emailed ‘explanation’, but my issue is tliis...

Phaekdra is ending her marriage (so wo think). Kenya does not have a man (and at the rate she is going she never will), Demetria is not married (supposedly dating). Kandi has a husband (but for hPA' long). Cynthia has a husband (that is buying buildings with her money talking abO'Ut opening ANOTHER club) and Nene is married to her hen-pecked (houseman) husband. For the title of the show to be REAL HOUSEWIVES (no matter the location) all o1 these women should be MARRIED (at least that is MY opinion).

It's supposed to open on May 5, 201 7. On the site's main page there are multiple references to EBT. Medicare, and Medicaid, along with what appears to be a 10th grader's idea of social commentary.

Ratiungs Content. Content is an obscene word. It’s a word that came crawling out of silicon valley in the late nineties, coined because the nerds from your high school computer class had just invented the worlds largest bucket. And that bucket was empty. And that bucket needed to be filled. That bucket needed content. That bucket needed art, that bucket needed music, that bucket needed opinions, that bucket needed porn. Porn, porn, porn. And the money started to pour in. And, lo and behold, the computer nerds became rich, the computer nerds became famous and, suddenly, the computer nerds, who only a short while ago, were being beaten to a bloody pulp in the school toilet, were being praised. “You’re a nerd? Cool’’. How the fuck did that happen? Money. Money can make a pig into a prom queen. Because that’s what it’s about. The money has always been there, of course. The church needed to create awe in the congregation, so they wanted giant houses of worship, they wanted to fill those giant houses of worship with really impressive pictures. Pictures of God almighty in all his glory. And so they hired us. The builders, the artists, the creators. “Here’s money, make God look awesome as FUCK!” And so we made God look awesome as fuck. Of course, then the politicians and businessmen saw us making God look awesome as fuck and they wanted us to make them look awesome as fuck, too. “Make my skin glow like rivers of gold flow through my veins!” So we took their money. And we made them look awesome as fuck. For we are the propaganda of wealth. We are the collaborators. And, of course, this is nothing new. Artists have always told stories about how they whored themselves out. It’s part of our tradition to talk about how Hollywood corrupted Faulkner and Clifford Odets. It’s our tradition to tell tales of money’s great rotted finger leaving slime on everything it touches. And so we tell the tales of how the money was too just too fucking good and of how the artist took it and wrote and drank to forget what they wrote. To forget they’d just dressed up the muse for a porn shoot. A Bukake jam fest of spoo. We tell tales of them drinking and taking pills and pounding nails into their foreheads because, “Jesus Fuck! Am I really writing this shit?” This is nothing new. We all know this. These are the campfire tales of our people. The corruption that is making art for rich fuckers. But, here’s the thing: We have always, always, always bitten the hand that fed us. Michaelangelo wrote nasty sonnets about the Pope. I’m sure Jan Van Eyck drew pictures of Jesus with a hard on. With Judas sucking it. Why? Because rich fuckers have money and, even though the money is good, the tune the piper is calling goes something like this: “Fuck you arty fucker, sell me your soul and I’ll sell it to rubes and, while we’re at it, eat the shit out of my ass. Get in there! Yeah, use that little tongue and dig for the chunks’’. So none of us is surprised that, in our off hours, after our day job of making God look awesome as fuck, we repair to our lairs and draw pictures of said rich fucker with a monster cock shoved up his ass? Of said rich fucker eating piles of shit while mastiffs fuck him with razor coated dildos. Oh sure, we can paint pictures for the priests that say, “LOOK OUR CHURCH IS BIGGERAND BADDER THAN YOUR CHURCH BECAUSE LOOK AT OUR FUCKING HUGE PAINTING OF JESUS! ISN’T HE FUCKING COOL!” But that doesn’t mean we can’t paint our own giant painting of Jesus but, in the tradition of Jan Van Eyck, we paint him with a massive hard on. Jesus with a giant,Times Square size, glowing, neon red hard on that blinds the tourists with its shining glory. With Judas sucking it. Sucking it till his eyes are popping out of his head. But giant pictures of Judas sucking the penis of Jesus tend to get us into trouble. And so we use a pseudonym. Here’s my giant portrait of Judas sucking the dick of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and, lo and behold, my name is DaveTitmonkey. My name is Anthony Softpipe. My name is Sally Mae Fartdoodle There is a deep joy that hits you the first time you use a pseudonym. I’m writing this under a pseudonym. I’m slipping you a note in class but you don’t see me do it. You open the note and it’s a picture of the teacher. The teacher with a hard on. Being sucked off by the principal. Who has ten rats shoved up his ass. I am nothing. I do not exist. Google me and I’m not there. My name is Eileen Snatchpickle. My name is P.J.Anyfucker. My name is Robert J. Ballsuck. And the only trace of me is a giant painting of Jesus with a hard on, with Judas sucking it, that I’ve hung up in Times Square when nobody was looking. I snuck in and hung it when everybody was watching the football game. And then I stood off to the side, waiting for people to come out of the bars, to come out of their homes, to come out onto the streets to see my giant portrait of God getting a hummer. And I stand there watching as people look up, see the painting and begin to bleed from their eyes. Bleed with the force of a fire hose. Because my painting is so fucking awesome and true and real. My name is Debbie Assmunch. And the muse smiles. Because that’s a good reason to create. And, these days, that’s all I’m looking for.

Once selected, artists committed 40-60 contact hours Hith participating seniors and the development and implementation of a public program to showcase the produced artworks in exchange for access to working space from January to June. The diverse programs included activities based in dance, music, ceramics, drawing, painting, and photography. To culminate the project, each senior center hosted an exhibition of the work produced by the seniors and the artist during the residency.

By all ac¬ counts, this created overwhelmingly positive results. As DCLA reports, “senior participation in SPARC crossed language, socioeconomic, and ethnic lines, bringing together participants that would not ordi¬ narily interact.” Some seniors took the initiative to continue working with the content of the program after the program itself ended. For example, in one Brooklyn center where artist Leopold Masterson worked with seniors to create a collection of small ceramic cups (shot glasses), the seniors were taught basic computer skills and launched a store on etsy.com to sell the cups, which generated income to repair the centers kiln as well as funded future projects. provide MARKETPLACE PROVIDENCE provide provide MARKETPLACE MARKETPLACE PROVIDENCE PROVIDENCE Why do you come to Downtown Providence?
