The art strike gave birth to a new art form called Information-Art

Evidence

Lil Picard saw it coming. A month before the show opened in July, she told EVO readers that art had entered a new phrase. The art strike had given birth to a new art form: “In the future, Art will be the political information on truth.” Picard called it “Information-Art” and predicted that America, where issues of racism, repressions, sexism, and war were being fought out, would be the leading force. — J.
