John Fleck



John Fleck, one of the 4 performance artists censored by the NEA, performing at a protest in Los Angeles against NEA's denial of funding.

"People in the audience were calling me a pervert, hissing at me, trying to paint me as some obscene decadent who's trying to destroy the country. I love this country. But I'm very frightened about the future of intellectual and artistic expression here." (John Fleck, quoted in People Magazine)


Fleck says that the NEA funding controversy "made me realize there must be something important to what we're doing if it gets such a reaction from the conservatives," (Fleck qtd. in LA Weekly)
