He brings his truly original and bizarre performance-art sensibility both to his activism and to this ground-breaking book. Read it!' Guillermo Gomez-Pena, writer, performance artist and pedagogue 'Appalling bad taste and worse judgment make Bogads interventions memorable and frequently effective. Dont try this alone at home. These actions should be undertaken with friends, and preferably with very good friends.'

It effectively combines theory and practice, illustrating the basic principles of artful activism in an absorbing, accessible manner.L.M.
