Feldman Gallery + Project Space
Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland, Oregon
Pacific Northwest College of Art, in conjunction with Carnegie Mellon University, hosts the first major exhibition of the controversial artist-activist group The Yes Men, through October 26 in PNCA”™s Feldman Gallery + Project Space.
In Keep It Slick, the elaborate costumes, slapstick videos, outrageous posters and props are exhibited alongside new works produced for this exhibition. The Yes Men are also conducting a workshop that gives an inside look at their methods and urges people to do something better. It will also include preview clips from their new feature-length film to be released this fall, The Yes Men Fix the World. A special publication and artist multiples will be available for purchase.
Impersonating representatives from big corporations and government organizations, these culture-jamming activists have exposed dehumanizing business practices and enacted ethical “identity correction” since 1999.
