In 1968 I organized the Hippie Bus Tour to Queens as a satirical cultural exchange tour and I attempted to burn down a Vietnamese Village Nativity I erected in Central Park to protest the war...

When I create a false reality, I always try to create a plausible structure to help convince people.

Celebrations of anniversaries of disasters, such as nuclear power plant meltdowns or political assassinations, provide opportunities, as do holidays.

My hope is that my work provokes people to look at things in a new way.

My art became very public.
