Anarchic gestures in America do not do well. They tend to refute the official optimism born of hope.
—Brian O'Doherty, Inside the White Cube.

Dean Inkster and Pierre Bal Blanc present and discuss the work of the North American artist Christopher D’Arcangelo (1955–1979): "In 1975, D’Arcangelo undertook a series of unauthorized actions in New York’s major museums. The anarchist statement that accompanied them as well as all of D’Arcangelo’s subsequent interventions until his untimely death breached a long-standing taboo of anarchism as a legitimate political belief and doctrine, reiterated in anarchism’s popular re-emergence with the advent of punk."

The discussion broaches, among other things, D’Arcangelo's self-proclaimed anarchism (from the mid-1970s, New York) in the contemporary context and ecology of Exarchia.

The event includes the screening of two video interviews, with art historian Benjamin Buchloh and artist Stephen Antonakos and Naomi Spector Antonakos, part of a series of interviews conducted from 2006-2010 by Dean Inkster & Sébastien Pluot, intended as an oral history of Christopher D'Arcangelo's practice and legacy.
