#J13 #OCCUPYMUSEUMS #OCCUPYWALLSTREET - MoMA BANNER DROP @ DIEGO RIVERA EXHIBIT
Loading...
Uploaded by RhodesPictures on Jan 14, 2012
MoMA is exhibiting work from one of the most renowned Mexican painters of the twentieth century, Diego Rivera. Diego influenced by the Mexican Revolution and the Russian Revolution, believed that art should play a role in empowering working people to understand their own histories. Meanwhile MoMA buys and sells millions of dollars in art at Sotheby's auction house. Sotheby's has locked out 43 Local 814 union art handlers, claiming they are unable to negotiate a new contract with them. "The auctioneer proposed cutting the handlers' workweek to 36 1/4 hours from 38 3/4 hours and increasing the number of temporary laborers, according to both sides. The union said new work rules would decrease eligibility for overtime, resulting in take-home pay declining 5 percent to 15 percent. Temporary workers without medical or pension benefits would replace unionized art handlers as they retire or find other jobs. Chief Executive Officer William Ruprecht, yearly salary doubled in 2010 to $6 million dollars."

OWS needs to come up with a better formal strategy than repetitive, demented call-and-response. There is the unfortunate echo of a school teacher and his or her students-- probably not the intended resonance.

Naomi Klein interview with Occupy Vancouverby occupyvancouvermedia2,409 views
This is one out of many actions, not sure why ppl are thinking all of OWS took part. If anyone has any criticism about the #Occupy movement come by a General Assembly in your local community, even if your feel your input is outrageously negative. Be surprise how much can be hammered out when it comes to strategy when more perspectives join the movement. Otherwise talk is cheap and just maintaining status quo and the institutions that are comfortable with such dire moral, economic, social crisis.
