Alexandra Pierce, Bill Pierce and Yoni Laos met with us to talk about Radioactive Future’s first official political art show, "Machine Gun in a Clown’s Hand." In the midst of a war in Iraq and in the wake of Michael Moore’s "Fahrenheit 9/11" they talked with us about art and politics in the post-9/11 fog. Listen to the interview, then go to the show and find out why they want their country back.

This summer, San Diego will experience its first contemporary political group art show, coalescing local and internationally-acclaimed artists in a visceral juggernaut of political activism. Drawing upon a long tradition of using art as a means of socio-political expression, Machine Gun in the Clown's Hand is an art show like none other, featuring works that are both thought-provoking and timely. Featured artists include: Robbie Conal, Winston Smith, Chuck Sperry, Bill Pierce, Yoni Laos, Mario Torero, Poor Al, Jason Sherry, Josh Eggleton, Xuchi Naungayan, L. Matthew Bowler, Andi Brandenburg, and The Goatskull. The show is being curated by Radioactive Future and Funerals of Distinction creators Bill and Alexandra Pierce and local artist Yoni Laos. The opening will be held at Limbo Fine Arts, 1432 University Avenue, in Hillcrest, on Saturday, August 7th, beginning at 7:00 pm. The exhibit will run through Sunday, August 29th, with gallery hours on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. For more information, please visit the show's official website.
