I liked that he used humor in his work to deliver a message. I think that humor is effective in the matter of delivering and receiving messages of an artwork. I also figured out that political issues are very hard to approach due to the controversy that might be triggered from such issues. You can't please everyone if you approach a political issue. That's normal due to the different points of view. So let me brainstorm here: what is the point of making political artwork, to prove the assumptions of the artist, to shine the light on a political issue, to convince people of the artist’s view. So what was Gómez-Peña's assumptions regarding the reaction of the audience and what was the reaction of the audience that have seen his performance? I think that my project (still don't know what it is going to be) should take these brainstorming questions and goals into consideration.
Yes!
