propaganda

one of the best political works i've seen in a while was at the DESTE foundation in Athens. A female security guard, standing in a corner of one of the gallery rooms. As you enter the room she starts singing "this is propaganda..." (a simple melody and a phrase that she repeats as she begins to walk around the space a little).

its only when you leave the room you notice that other gallery minders are dressed fairly casually. the tune and the words - stuck in my head...
