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.

Gertrude Statement:

Dear _ ,

I am new to Atlanta from New Jersey for a corporate job. 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

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...

How Kandi get to be as tall as Nano? and Porsha is slimmer than Phaedra??
. I DON'T THINK SOOOOI! .

leolacly2273

Claudia is not matriad, Pct^ha is no longer married. 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). What I find offensive is that these 'ads' include
vromen who are clearly not REAL HOUSEWIVES. They just "play one on television* .

I do not <nmv what the outrage is ail about It There are black women v/ho warn to b«
marred. There are grxrwing numbere of black men who are choosing to marry outside the
race. Mind you. I have no problem vrith interracial love. But. growing numbers of black men
refuse to even consider black women as wives. I thin k these posters are tryi ng to alert us
to the fact fnat there are too many black women unmarried. This is a sign of dysfunction.
How can the black community survive vrithout black mamages. The decay that v/e are
seeing in the black community wifi continue as long as see large numbers of unmarrad
black women raising families.

I think youVa reading a tad too much into this lol. If you google,
’©realhouseynvesatlanta" you’ll find an mstagram page from a RHOA super fan.
Ha/shei'they create fumy memes w/ screen shots and quotes from each episode.
This person was just trying to be funny. I respect your opinion about the subject but
this right here is probably not a serous social comment about the alarmirg number
of unmamied black women, etc. Just a play on words from the popular ’Black Lives
f.^atter’ In a very poor attempt to be funny and promote their fave shokv.

Many people suspect that the entire thing is propaganda to raise awareness for
some groups personal agenda. Sort of have to agree at this point as nothing else
makes sense. Kenya would be a good target as she is currently trending big time
with being on RHoA, CA and the constant Kenya/Brandi controversy. I'm not a
Kenya fan, but I can't see her committing career suicide by doing something like
this. Bravo also has no reason to do it as their shows are already in the top spots
and it it is proven they are behind it that would also have a negative effect on the
franchise.

Brooklyn Taunted By Ads For Pot Dispensary “Coming Soon"

The banner hanging at the comer of Nostrand Avenue and Herkimer Street
iSdS)

We've received several tips about flyers in Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights for ‘The Brooklyn Medical
Marijuana Dispensary.' A banner hung at the intersection of Nostrand Avenue and Herkimer Street
notes that a medical marijuana dispensary called ‘Piazza Del Popolare' is 'Coming Soon* to that lot.
Its combination of bad clip art and the impnmatur of the official NYC government logo lending it a whiff
of legitimacy. As does the gradual progression of a medical marijuana bill in Albany. Don't buy it it's
just an extremely deep and pointless Trolling.

Let's assume New York has passed the medical marijuana law and the Health Department has created
the necessary framework to license dispensanes (they haven't). Derek Bestreich. the real estate agent
for Marcus & Millichap. says that only one of the four lots on that parcel is in contract, sold last year to
a developer. *1 don't know what this guy is thinking, but they're going to build an apartment building
there.*

'This guy.' according to Piaz7a Del Popolare's website, is the manager. ‘Tim Jenkins."

Tim's website, a crude approximation of a Tim & Ehc gag. pitches Piazza Del Popolare as 'an
inrK}vative cultural redevelopment. * combining a medical manjuana dispensary with a casino and a
brothel. 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.

Why this progressive trio of shops you ask? Cultural anthropologists and leading scientists have
found that the legalization of contemporaneously outlawed pleasures, such as nwijuana and
prostitution, decreases crime rates in their respective communities by up to 50%* ('Ingram DD.
Franco SJ. NCHS. National Center for Health 2012.)! It also improves the overall quality of life
and causes extreme economic prosperity. Examples include contemporary Denver, ancient
Rome, and next - Brooklyn. NY. Isn't that amazing!

Dig deeper into the website and promises that Stephen Colbert win perform at the casino designed by
Frank Gehry reveal a Tired Troll— the Bushwick Economic Development Corp. exists, but the Brooklyn
Cultural Redevelopment Association does not.

Emails to the site's main address bounce back with this message: ‘Thank you for contacting Piazza

A tipster wntes: ’Some ladtes came up to me and handed me this flier about a “parlor’* opening in
Crown Heights and that I need to pray for my sins? I keep seeing these protest signs all over my
neighborhood and have no idea what is going on."

In other words, someone has papered the neighborhood with flyers and paid to hang up a banner and
started a website and created a false Facebook page and a YouTube account, passed out flyers so
they can make some vaguely racist joke about... gentrification? Libertarianism? Societal ills? Who
cares. We've seen this kiddie pool before. Bed-Stuy is not getting a medical marijuana dispensary.

CEDAR RAPIDS — The owner Of a builoing in Cedar
Rapics where posters appealed promoing the openng
of a rreri.uana dispensary says the advertisement is a
hoax

John Wasta says two posters appealed Tuesday on tne
o^tsde of his empty storefront that imp:ie<! a ousiness
known as the Iowa Marijuana Company would open in
Octobe'20lS. They induded an image of ears of com in
the shape of a marihuana leaf.

A simiar poster aso appea'-ed on Fourjt Streei
next to Hook's Pub. in Clinton.

According to the website

nv£Ajo>v3t",i-j Tim jenicns was

isted as tne manager of lowa Marjuana Company

Attempts to reach him were unsLCcessful, as we'e
attempts to reach the building's owner.

Wasta said he tocA down die posters and is not taking
the apparent prank too senousiy.

The website also promoted mat a store would open in lowa City. The website appears to sel merchandise and Ist
pricing.

Any attempts to sell manjuana would be il'egai. but Clinton Count Attorney Md<e Wolf said hanging me posters isn't

Filling the Bucket
by R.J. 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.

Before and after a power wash...

i LOGISTICS:

With artists from different disciplines and with an array of senior centers in
different communities, selecting and matching artists became a key step in the
process. Putting out a call-for-artists (that yielded 224 applicants), the dty
advanced finalists to a panel review process run by each respective arts coundL
Each center’s director or programming director interview*ed hnalists, and advised
the councils on preferences. 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.

UNEXPECTED IMPACTS:

Though it was methodically programmed, SPARC (Seniors Participating with Artists Citywide) availed
itself to the serendipitous outcomes that emerge from pairing an artist with a community. 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.

Providence

Provide, the premier artisanal food and wine marketplace, is finally coming to
Providence, RL Two years after partners Giancarlo Mostaccioli and Tommy Pacheco
won permission to convert the city's long-dormant Westminster Arcade — known to
locals as simply The Arcade — into a large-scale grocer's, our team has paired with
local farmers, artisans, administrators and institutions to transform the historic
shopping center, located in the center of Downtown Providence and declared a
National Historic Landmark in 1976, into Rhode Island's foremost culinary mecca.

The marketplace, located at 66 Weybosset Street, is poised to become the ultimate
destination for food lovers all over the Northeast to shop, savor and explore. Its
offerings include in-house farmers' markets for locally sourced meat, seafood,
produce and dairy; a culinary educational center that will feature demonstrations
from local chefs and food purveyors, and a discerningly curated selection of
boutique eateries and confectioners, A delight for the self-styled epicure as well as
the novice cook — indeed, for eaters across the board — Provide aims to live up to
its name.
