Brutal performance art criticism of Toronto's Mayor, John Tory, and his "austerity" agenda

Shari Kasman.

Three performance art campaigns in Toronto, AusterityTO, #JohnTory’sToronto, and independent artist Shari Kasman's alternative flyer campaign focused on changes to TTC bus service, call attention to municipal action failures ("Artists Parody Toronto’s Failing Infrastructure With Museum Labels," Hyperallergic). 

Kasman's campaign has been covered by the Toronto Sun.

AusterityTO treats broken facilities as infrastructure as art works, and appends museum style labels to "the work." 

The example below is a broken water fountain, which the label likens to Marcel Duchamp's famous Urinal.

#JohnTory’sToronto sticks labels on failed facilities.  The stickers have a QR code linking to their Twitter feed and calling on people to vote.
