The Politics of Shoes Redux [57]

photos by Milan Kohout

In May 2009, Mobius presented a group exhibition and weekend of performances called "The Politics of Shoes", inspired by a series of shoe related events in December 2008.

After the exhibition ended, all performances and works in that show were documented on an online blog, http://politicsofshoes.blogspot.com/ along with two critiques, one of the show in the form of poetry by Jill Furumoto and the other a prose impression of the show by national journalist G. Jeffrey MacDonald, and related links, interviews.

It seems that the time has come once again, the walrus said, for the revival of shoes in politics.

What does the politics of shoes have to do with The Prostitution of Art?
(with a bow to Ray Johnson):

Politics = Prostitution = Art = Life = Death
