Tony @ Pueblo Nuevo Gallery. Art of Democracy. CENSORSHIP in Berkeley.

Metal sculptor and artist Red Hot Handyman Tony discusses the nationwide exhibit Art of Democracy.

As stated on the PuebloNuevoGallery site, "Four posters from a national series of exhibitions called Art of Democracy have been censored in Berkeley at the city-run Addison Street Windows Gallery. The curator invented guidelines, which she attributed to the Berkeley City Arts Commission. Among the fifty venues across the country that hosted the Art of Democracy exhibitions, the Addison Street Windows Gallery was the only one to have censored the artwork. Only in the City of Berkeley, which ironically just erected a monument to free speech."

Tony's piece, screened by Robin of Adaptive Green Goods, was one of the works censored.
