“Leave!” Pièce de Résistance, Amsterdam (Update)
Posted by michael | April 28th, 2011
On saturday, 24th of April 2011, we were invited to join the opening of the exibition “Pièce de Résistance” at Mediamatic in Amsterdam. We flew over and contributed a quick and dirty 10min print-performance quoting the arabic word: “Leave!”. A direct imperatif of the people of Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen to their dictators: Beat it!
