The Im-BLEACHment of George W. Bush

Even before Donald Trump was telling us to ingest bleach, I was using bleach to visually Im-BLEACH George W. Bush, as a response to the 35 articles of impeachment presented to congress on June 9, 2008, by Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio). It was ignored, but Diane Bush used the opportunity as a pre-election supportive gesture for Barack Obama. Members of the public were invited to throw small vials of bleach on a large photo of George W. Bush , to Im- BLEACH the president. Uncle Sam made an appearance, and the crowd from First Friday activities were happy to join in.  A video of this Public Participatory Public Art event is in the PERFORMANCE folder on this website. Thanks to Jerry Ross, the artist, and my brother for the concept.
