Absurd and Artful Takes on Biden vs Palin: From Owl Signs to Macarena Meltdowns
Situationists for Sarah! A group of protesters outside Washington University in St. Louis ... embraced the surreal nature of the event, which pitted a woman heralded for hauling kids to soccer and moose-hunting against a foreign-policy veteran who introduced many Americans to the word “Bosniak.” One held a Magritte-esque sign that read, “This is a sign.” Another’s countered, “This is an owl.” Artblogger Greg Allen comments: “What does it say about the election mediascape that a dadaist poster stunt could just as easily be a dog whistle for some invisible target demographic as a marketing tool for goldenpalace.com? Though there’s not a URL to be seen.”
