...The fair presents Soviet artists who worked in the hard period of Russian history covering the formation of the Soviet Union, the Great Patriotic War, the Khrushchev thaw and Brezhnev stagnation. The change of political constructions and ideological priorities influenced the formation of the official style and various opposition trends. As a result, the Soviet art phenomenon is not only the ideological socialist realism but also the so-called 'underground art' and the 'third trend' which ignored political aspects... [WEBSITE]

...Its branches are covered in penises. There are 25 of them in all, of different shapes and sizes, complete with testicles. They hang from the limbs of the tree like leaves fluttering in the breeze. The mural dates from the 13th century and is still visible on a wall in the Italian town of Massa Marittima where it was discovered during renovation work four years ago. Until now, it was assumed the phallus tree was a fertility symbol because it stands by a fountain -- the town's main source of water in medieval times. But, according to a British-based expert, it is actually a unique piece of political propaganda, commissioned by one Tuscan faction to sully the reputation of another...

...But few have preached harder against the Christian right's wrongs than the Rev. Rich Lang of Seattle's Trinity United Methodist Church in Ballard. "This administration is a culture of death, and so is the religious right," says Lang. In his Open Letter to George Bush, published in Real Change, Lang thunders, "You claim Christ but act like Caesar. There is blood all over your hands with the promise of even more blood to come. You sit atop the nations like the Biblical Whore of Babylon openly fornicating with the military men of might." His sermon "George Bush and the Rise of Christian Fascism" (posted like Luther's theses on the church , Web site) rails that "the power and seduction of this administration emerges from its diabolical manipulation of Christian rhetoric . . . the mirror opposite of what Jesus embodied. It is, indeed, the materialization of the spirit of Antichrist: a perversion of Christian faith and practice."...

...Some schools might hesitate to endorse graffiti as an art form. After all, public opinion of graffiti is generally negative - the majority of the public considers it a nuisance, not to mention a crime. But Columbia has proven to be more tolerant than most by allowing a student-run graffiti organization on campus...

...held down the political side of the house. I want to believe they would have been there anyway; I want to believe that art appreciation doesn't take a hike when one becomes a pol; I want to believe. Fact is, judging from the public art emphasis in the county's new government building to be christened in December, and from a growing art presence in our own city, art and politics may be happy new bedfellows...
