Uh, there will be vulgar language and sexxxy images in WTF Resist! I mean, even more vulgar language than usual from me. It’s all in the name of art! But I thought you should know. Let me know if you have guidelines beyond what common sensitivity dictates.

Dear Ruthie,
I’ve attached a few beauties by Hans Haacke, who is a personal favorite but won’t get much, if any time. Sorry, righteous old white dude. He will be in the For Further Reading/Looking handout.
If you want something that I will actually discuss, I’ve attached a photo of the Art Workers Coalition protest in front of Guernica during the Vietnam War.

You can never depend on the mass media to reflect us or our needs or our states of mind; bottom line, with enough gestures we can deafen the satellites and lift the curtains surrounding the control room. – Close to the Knives: A Memoir of Disintegration
