© Before their time, revolutionaries seized power on the island of Grenada with the agenda to build a socialist society. Apparently internecine struggle ended it quickly, but still the U.S. had to invade to make sure no such remnants existed that might dare challenge U.S. capitalist hegemony. What they did wrong? Asked Cuba to help them upgrade their airport!

This is a reproduction I did of a work by Madame Binh Graphics Collective 1977 to 1983. A group I was loosely associated with. I wore it at the opening as I had decided to show mainly my more political work this year of heightening contradictions. The Bishop coffee mug, and the t-shirt are available for mass reproduction if George Soros wants to fund it. George?

Early Political Work
The image above is a recreation of a piece I did for the 1979/80 Real Estate Show on Delancey St.
http://www.abcnorio.org/about/history/res_statement_80.html
The original was a plaster shield like piece, with a hammer and sickle in the center and text around the shape. In this reproduction, which is in the No Rio archives, it is a blow up of a photo with additional ink stamped text.

Before their time, revolutionaries seized power on the island of Grenada with the agenda to build a socialist (equable) society. Apparently internecine struggle ended it quickly, but still the U.S. had to invade to make sure no such remnants existed that might dare challenge U.S. neo-liberal hegemony. And because killing people is part and parcel of the foreign and domestic policy of our Freedom Loving Politicians. Except for Bernie Sanders and a few others. Long live the Monroe Doctrine! [Tongue firmly set in cheek.]
Party of Workers and Peasants of the Congo. This was for Serge MuKendi, who I haven’t heard from in years. A revolutionary from the Democratic Republic of Congo. He was part of the struggle against a tyrant that made sure that U.S. and other western nations received the lion’s share of the natural wealth of Africa, at slave wages. He asked me to design a button and some flags, which I did and threw in this bas relief.

On a somewhat different note. This is a repro of a sculpture by Joel Shapiro. (4″ x 4″ x 3″)I made 6 or so and sold two at the Times Square show, which came after the ABC No Rio show, which came after the 01/01/80 Real Estate show, a guerrilla action/performance break in of an abandoned property on Delancey St. Google it!
