Art Show
Illegal Art is also the title of an art exhibit/project sponsored by Stay Free! Magazine, who asked permission from the label for the use of their name. The exhibit debuted in New York City and has since traveled to several other cities. Subsequently this show of appropriated art was appropriated by San Francisco based artists Elliot Lessing and Gordon Winiemko; the two artists created a "shadow" website, www.illegal-art.com (the "Stay Free" show's site is www.illegal-art.org) and reflecting their concerns about the simplistic binary implied by "illegal art," they launched a show at the now defunct BUILD artspace, called "I Want a Mainstream." The show was a collection of "mainstream" artwork (from movies, popular music, design, and such) to which visitors could offer up their own selections. It also included images from the "Illegal Art" show appropriated from the web.

Famous quotes containing the words art and/or show:
“His art is eccentricity, his aim
How not to hit the mark he seems to aim at,”
—Robert Francis (b. 1901)
“I allude to these facts to show that, so far from the Supper being a tradition in which men are fully agreed, there has always been the widest room for difference of opinion upon this particular. Having recently given particular attention to this subject, I was led to the conclusion that Jesus did not intend to establish an institution for perpetual observance when he ate the Passover with his disciples; and further, to the opinion that it is not expedient to celebrate it as we do.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
