Say what you will about Istvan Kantor, aka Monty Cantsin, but the guy is committed and comes up with more creative ideas in one week than most other people do in their lifetimes. They both share his vision and celebrate him endlessly for being the grand poobah of the International Neoist conspiracy, an avant-garde art movement that he founded in Montreal back in 1979. for his criminal art activities, he now lives in Toronto and is involved in a new performance art project he calls the Machine Sex Action Group. Kantor over the phone from Toronto earlier this week to try and get a handle on what's going down in the old nutbar's head. I don't know if you'll appreciate this, but the Monty Cantsin performances I've borne witness to have generally made me laugh--but I always feel very conspicuous doing so. |
