Trump Statue Initiative

The Trump Statue Initiative is a protest art project headed by director Bryan Buckley with support from Bradley Tusk.

The exhibits feature performers costumed and painted gold to mimic statues, placed on quick-built plinths with various inscriptions on them.

[10] The statues were joined by military veterans who read out Trump's statements of support for Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

A collaboration with Illuminator Art Collective, several projections appeared around New York City accompanying mail boxes.

The projections took the form of quote bubbles, making the mail boxes appear to be speaking - the messages were in support of the US Postal Service, and were mostly derisive jokes aimed at President Trump.

Buckley positions performers for the Ode To Putin statue in Waterfront Park, August 3rd 2020.
