DIVERSEWORKS PRESENTS:

Thought Crimes: The Art of Subversion
Curated by Diane Barber
April 1 - May 28, 2005
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 2, 6-8 pm*

Thought Crimes: The Art of Subversion
Opening reception: Friday, April 1, 7-9 pm
Main Gallery

Thought Crimes: The Art of Subversion sheds light on the role of the artist
in the realm of social activism. The exhibition looks at the work of artists
motivated by the belief that art has a fundamental, radical and ethical role
to play in society and that art possesses the power to incite social change.
Guided by progressive social theories and using subversive tactics - culture
jamming, web hacking and public interventions - these artists negotiate the
terrain between artist, activist and criminal with varied results. By
creating work intended to undermine many of the power structures that form
the basis of modern culture, artists in the exhibition force us to examine
the wisdom of traditionally held beliefs and the role of art in transforming
those beliefs.

Artists include: Aerosol Warfare, Stephen Andrews, Jim Costanzo, Gregory
Green, Michael Hernandez de Luna, I Love You Baby, Alison Jackson, Patrick
Lichty, Jenny Marketou, Arnold Mesches, Zach Moser, Neistat Brothers,
Otabenga Jones, Trevor Paglen, Preemptive Media, subRosa, The Yes Men, Joe
Wezorek.
