It is the first comprehensive study of the group Black Mask and their acrimonious relationship to the New York art world in that decade. Now cited as originators of the protest aesthetics common today, Black Mask employed incendiary modes of direct action against racism, colonialism, and the museum system. They forced their way into the Pentagon during a political protest, threw rotten eggs and blood at Secretary of State Dean Rusk, dumped garbage into the fountain at Lincoln Center during a gala at the Metropolitan Opera, published a broadside, made films, tormented Andy Warhol, and much more, all covered in Nadja Millner-Larsen's book. Black Mask is an important example of the kind of organized art activism in the middle of this century. The group was active until 1968, when it went underground and changed its name to Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers (after a poem by Amiri Baraki). Its activities and strategies influenced the Black Arts Movement and the Art Workers' Coalition, which took over and trashed the Museum of Modern Art. Abbie Hoffman described the group in its second manifestation, Up Against the WallMF, as "the middle-class nightmare....an anti-media media phenomenon simply because their name could not be printed.""-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Black Mask (Group of artists) 610 20 $a Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers (Gang) 650 0 $a Anarchist artists $z New York $z New York $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Anarchism and art $z New York $z New York $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art and social action $z New York $z New York $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art $x History $z New York $z New York $x History $y 20th century. 610 27 $a Black Mask (Group of artists) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01976566 610 27 $a Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers (Gang) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01795120 650 7 $a Anarchism and art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01746978 650 7 $a Anarchist artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744155 650 7 $a Art and social action. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01742274 650 7 $a Art $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815309 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012721.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=27DD68A4F47811EDA3FB15433FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
