Pussy, actionism and petty-bourgeois ignorance
The Pussy Riot action, from the point of view of actionism as art, is an absolutely brilliant work. Judgments such as “stupid”, “sacrifice”, “stupid trick”, “flog” and everything like that, in this case, are nothing more than philistine ignorance. Actionism itself implies radical forms using unusual public territory. Actionism is provocative, scandalous art, designed to force the authorities to act and the public to think.
