Brazilian Coke Tastes Different

Inspired in some part by Orson Welles, Cildo Meireles used bottles of Coca-Cola and Brazilian banknotes to stage an ideological uprising in a Brazil living under military occupation. These were revolutionary reverse readymades that hacked the mainstream and invaded the circulation of banality with messages that undermined and destabilized the system.  Kunst Please is a micro-dose of modern art history. An exploration into the more unexpected side of modern and contemporary art, featuring stories of the famous and the infamous, the weird and the wonderful, the unheard, the cult, the criminally overlooked and the criminally insane.
