Conceptual Art & Politics:

Here's an Op-Ed column that appeared yesterday with a disclaimer

The White House runs red with the blood of American citizens, no matter who wins the election the US will suffer    

"As a conceptual artist, I use blood donated by ordinary people to depict the costs of imperialism and war.
For my most recent piece, I am using blood donated by US citizens, inside the so-called symbol of democracy – the White House. My sculpture of the building, around which the blood flows, will be installed in collaboration with CulturalDC in Washington, DC later this year.
It doesn't matter who eventually wins this week’s election, both candidates embody the same blood-soaked system. A regime built on slavery, murder, war and the toppling of democratically elected governments across the world. As businesses board up their storefronts in the US, gun sales increase and people take to the streets, the future of America will, once again, be built on the blood of its citizens. . ."
