Politik!.. 2


As said before hate is a good way to assess the impact these wheatpasted cartoons of mine have.
This below is the second "History locker" teared down by some not so innocent bystander, I've allready noticed that they'r too busy to delete their "Leader's" face (at the right you can see a No Niquita deleted face) they tend to forget the rest... and thus betray their motive.

The curious thing this time, is that this wheatpaste coincided with an editorial cartoon exhibition held just in front of it in the Gazi Exhibition Area with even the same theme "the economic crisis", still nothing was vandalised there...


I guess a good truth is welcomed in the "Freedom of speech" context as far as it is held behind exhibition walls, or inside newspaper pages, where it's either hid or bond to dissapear at the end of the day, while my No1 and No2 "History locker" wheatpastes survived more that several weeks each. Challenging with it's no forget no forgive attitude... hey! someone eventually would try and shut them off...

Lets see the No3 how long will last...

Dried and ready to go...

...Just like us...

George Papandreou junior (Pasok), Antonis Samaras (New Democracy) and George Karatzaferis (LA.OS). The three party leaders who voted yes to IMF's Memorandum.

It reads: "And in this way we lock History in the time-closet of the Right", paraphrasing a George Papandreou's father (Andreas Papandreou) motto from it's first won elections "And in this way we locked the Right, in the time-closet of History". Back in those days where considered socialists... go figure...
