The wonder is that Cantsin has found time to do as much xeroxing as he has. . Of course, the thing about Cantsin, and this is true whatever the medium happens to be, is his ability to get people fantastically involved in his activities. This is true whether it's xeroxing, or dangling from the wall, or what-have-you. For example, the time that Cantsin visited David Zack's Immortality Center down in Mexico is a good instance of this ability to involve casual spectators, which I would characterize as vatic or charismatic.

"Border-Signs" - a Sympozion on New Art in Breitenbrunn, Austria. In 1976 the group moved to the West and later showed up in New York as "Squat Theatre" gaining world-fame with such productions as "Andy Warhol's Last Love", "Mr. "Neoist Farewell Performance" by Monty Cantsin, founder of the International Neoist Movement held 19th May, 1984 in a blockhouse-cellar and courtyard, Budapest. ..
The peak of historic Neoism was reached when an Art Strike was proclaimed by Karen Eliot in 1990. For three years no work of art was produced by Neoist anti-artists what eventually lead to the collapse of the art market in the early 90ies. Whereas Monty Cantsin is conceived as multiple Pop-Star, Karen Eliot can rather be described as multiple signature for any form of (anti-)art. If you want to take part in the Viennese Neoist Worldfair in June 1997 (opening June the 5th) please fill out this form and send it in (via e-mail or snail-mail) or give us a call. We guarantee the acceptance of every single entry as long as there is enough space left in Kunsthalle Exnergasse and time left in June 1997.
