The Miller Gallery Presents Major Exhibition of The Yes Men
Carnegie Mellon University: "'The Yes Men are among the most visible and effective activist-artists of our time, reaching countless people through Web sites, newspapers and television broadcasts,' said Astria Suparak, director of the Miller Gallery. 'Over the past decade they have fearlessly taken on the world's biggest corporations and bureaucracies. Infiltrating the elite realm of the influential and the moneyed, cloaked in the sheerest layer of authority — thrift-store suits, quick-print business cards and forged press releases - these social activators urge us to question where ethics belong in our capitalist-driven society.'"

When I first saw the posters, I thought the Yes Men were coming to CMU, and I was really excited. These guys are some of my heroes- using comedy and satire to speak truth to power. Even though they don't seem to be appearing any time soon (but who knows, with them) it is very cool that the Miller Gallery is hosting a show based on their work.
