Radical Jesters

RADICAL JESTERS
+ BLOWS AGAINST THE EMPIRE
To kick off our 2-week suite on culture-jamming, here’s the premiere of Tim Jackson’s hour-plus celebration of contemporary cultural subversion, a playful parade of street performers, pranksters, and artist-provocateurs who use humor, surprise, and even confusion to agitate against American somnambulism. Their radical tales raise important questions about the media, advertising, public space, surveillance, feminism, and Situationism. Featured are Guerrilla Girls, Billboard Liberation Front, Rev. Billy, Ron English, Bread & Puppet Theater, and the Surveillance Camera Players. PLUS a riot of recent reality-hacking actions from Bryan Boyce, the Yes Men, Institute for Applied Autonomy, et al. Free toast and jam! $6.
