an art of eco-justice
This past Saturday, the ongoing collaborative creativity between artists and the Tamms Year Ten organization reached another high water mark. Some thirty activists took to the streets and plazas of Chicago, publicizing the campaign to end torture in Illinois and shut down Tamms. These folks used a method of stencilling developed by Milwaukee street artist Jesse Graves. The coloring agent: mud, a new/old medium for legally uncontrollable expression, and absolutely green (or rather, brown). I love that they took their messages to the museums, as in the last pic, outside the Museum of Contemporary Art. This is urban earthworking at its best and most politically engaged.
