Local commix artist Tea Krulos recently participated in the Milwaukee Artist Resource Network (MARN) “Dossier Project,” an event focused on criticisms of the Patriot Act. Krulos was surprised to receive a call from one of the show’s curators, Peter Goldberg, telling him that his piece, “Weedapeeple,” was discovered torn to shreds near where it was being displayed. “I am challenging the vandals to a boxing match,” said Krulos. “If they win, I will give them more of my art to rip up. If I win, I will behead them.”

The headliner, Mr. Freedom, is part satire that takes itself seriously and part black comedy that isn’t funny. Filmed in 1967-8 by William Klein, it follows the adventures of the titular superhero/government agent who works for Freedom, Inc. and wears a suit made out of red, white, and blue athletic apparel. Though it begins as an over-the-top satire, the movie quickly degenerates into a didactic attack on the right and Cold War politics.
