Last Friday night, British artist Bob Smith (who makes work under the name Bob and Roberta Smith) staged a political revolution and the first ever meeting of the “Art Party” at gallery-cum-warehouse The Boiler in Williamsburg. He gave out “Join the Art Party” pins and read an Art Party manifesto. Smith has been exhibiting satirical politically-minded text and performance pieces for the past 25 years. The Eye spoke to him about Obama, British conservatives, and how art can change the world.
