The Art of Dissent
Tuesday, August 12, 2008
7:00–10:00 P.m.
MoMA
Theater 2, The Roy And Niuta Titus Theater 2
 

For many artists, politics are an essential component of both their art and their interactions with community and commerce. In this panel, artists discuss how politics and art mix in their work and working processes.

Justseeds was founded in 1998 by artist and editor Josh MacPhee, who reached out to like-minded artists to create the Justseeds/Visual Resistance Artists’ Cooperative. Since 1981, PAPER TIGER (PTTV) has combined media art and activism to create an alternative spin on the traditional television format.

Following presentations by the artists, Gretchen Wagner, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Prints & Illustrated Books, The Museum of Modern Art, moderates a discussion.

A reception follows the event.

PopRally would like to thank Grolsch and GuS – Grown-up Soda for their sponsorship.
