...William Powhida has an enemies list, just like Richard Nixon. Unlike Nixon, Powhida isn't trying to hide it. In his own private post-office version of most wanted, he draws the faces of those he claims to loathe and underlines each with insults.... [GALLERY]

...London - Forget the soiled bedsheets and pickled animals, British art has taken another outrageous turn in an example of the unspeakable swallowing the uneatable. Performance artist Mark McGowan, who counts among his feats pushing a peanut along the road to Tony Blair's Downing Street home with his nose, has eaten a fox, in protest at the public fixation with a government ban on fox hunting. He described the roast fox, which he ate in public, as quite tasty, although he admitted to nearly vomiting at times....

...The grim joke about the high literacy rate that does the rounds there ("Everyone can read and write but there's nothing to read and you have to be careful what you write") would resonate for the visual artists too, and you will look in vain on the walls of the Havana Gallery for a piece that makes an explicit political statement. The closest might be Avila Gendis' Lost Boat Over A Black Hole, an impressionistic depiction of a heavy - framed boat lost in the mist and spray as the ocean depths yawn at its keel: it speaks of longing for escape and the fear of exile...

Abstruse as performance practices may remain to most of us, they represent experimentation and innovation. True, performers may get it wrong, and misjudge their audience. But when they get it right, the message can resonate powerfully with contemporary concerns. Performance art works in the spirit of opposition. It operates in the belief that moderate measures of both art and politics have tried and failed. It is constructive violence because it is symbolic rather than venal.

Related: ...More importantly, my art helped me discover my political awareness - who I was in society. I discovered the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera and Picasso's "Guernica" - those were my influences where I saw that art could be used as a weapon of the oppressed against the oppressor. I began painting social statements against the death penalty and the prison-industrial complex... [Anthony Papa website]
