Perhaps it is a good
idea to be politically engaged. We have many choices as fellow citizens. However, nothing seems to be more deliberately ignored than our right to be political. If it is taboo discussion at family gatherings, parties, church, therefore, where can we be political? Bus-stops? mail boxes? Billboards? Obviously our venues have become limited by our culture. Give up? or find another model.

I listened to Bruce
Nauman answer the question Why his work was not more political? After a long
drawn out pause he carefully answered all his work was political he simply
chose not to use the names Bush and Blair. I found the response perfect and
fitting but we are stuck again with the problem. Unfortunately, the journalist
asking the question did not get the fact that the work was political. On a second viewing/listening to the installation at the Tate Modern it became impossible to hear the work as anything but political.

Is this the solution?
Implant the idea via suggestion and make others begin to think things are
politically charged? Obviously this tactic has worked for getting the taboo
topic of SEX still integrated into the heads of every party goer.

Now, is there a benefit
when a larger public becomes politically involved?
