The artists of the Occupy Movement are heading to New York’s cultural institutions this evening. The activist artists state: “The game is up: we see through the pyramid schemes of the temples of cultural elitism controlled by the 1%. No longer will we, the artists of the 99%, allow ourselves to be tricked into accepting a corrupt hierarchical system based on false scarcity and propaganda concerning absurd elevation of one individual genius over another human being for the monetary gain of the elitest of elite.” MoMA, the Frick and the New Museum are all expecting demonstrators.

A Global, Legitimate and very Sexy Threat: BIG Revolutionary Slide Show!
The International Business Times has called the Occupy Movement “global in nature” and a “legitimate threat.” It is that.

The revolution will not be televised. But…it will be tweeted. Photos from Amsterdam, Belgrade, Berlin, Denver, Durban, Hong Kong, London, New York, Rome, Taipei, Tokyo, San Francisco, Santiago, Sydney and Vancouver.
