<p><strong>&#8221; With the ZEN you can still live and kick, like Micky&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>There was an opening of an exhibition called  &#8221; Sign of Revolt &#8221; in east end of London.</p>
<p>It showed wide spectrum of the artistic  by-product of the Protest Campaign, such as posters, fliers,</p>
<p>props, appeal installations, video images etc etc.</p>
<p>So that, this exhibition can be seen as from the Art with Social issue to the sample of Applied Art;</p>
<p>ie Graphic Design and in the same time it was the appeal of its issue like Eco to Police brutality.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-One of my friend, War Boutique, exhibited an Armoured Vest of British Army standard, but</p>
<p>with Arabic script printed on it.&#8212;&#8212;- m m m ?   &#8221; Is it an instruction to the enemy,</p>
<p>how to dispose this dead body ?&#8221;  <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>&#8221; Oh, that is the script of the Coca Cola can &#8220;</strong> &#8212;&#8212;<strong> ! ! ! </strong></span></p>
<p>I like this man&#8217;s twisted humor.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>In fact, I got a Police bullet proof vest made by him which got [Metropolitan Peace] tag on the chest.</p>
<p>One opening night of my another friend&#8217;s exhibition, I was standing on front of the gallery wearing</p>
<p>this Police vest, walky-talky on the shoulder and huge black dildo instead of a truncheon hanged</p>
<p>from the belt.  Then, out of blue, a real Police car came and stopped on the front.</p>
<p>Two officers in the car seemed puzzled (of cause my attire looked genuine / save some details)</p>
<p>and watched over me 10 minutes, may be wondering &#8221; Is he one of us ?&#8212;- If not should we arrest him</p>
<p>for the false impersonation ?&#8212;&#8211; No  no, it might be an art-performance to take mickey out of us&#8221;</p>
<p>When they leave an officer rose a hand and gave me a salute, and I gave salute back.   Ha Ha Ha  🙂</p>
<p>(back to the main story)</p>
<p>This Revolt exhibition has much more relevance to our life today than in pure art exhibition.</p>

<p>Incidentally,</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve joined Spacehijackers  &#8221; Training Camp 09 &#8221; (scroll down the page in their website and /Read more )</p>
<p>It was the extremely funny enjoyable few days as you can see in the photos.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>&#8221; What a hell, Zenist doing in the Anarchist&#8217;s camp &#8221; you might say. </strong></span> 😀</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Yes, this is the Zen in Action.</strong></span></p>
<p>Buddhism is not to become vegetated state of the life.  It is for focused, selfless state of the mind</p>
<p>and live in full with empowered action.   <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Don&#8217;t afraid to be a Micky.   Live as a Top Micky.</strong></span></p>
<p>(Hesitation came from one&#8217;s self preservating ego. Micky may need to be there to stimulate the society )</p>
<p>😀</p>
