This article asks whether exhibitions of political art are used to discipline dissent. Certainly, many artists, activists, and scholars argue that exhibitions of protest art might echo the issues of the protest, but they do so in a ‘context without consequence’. In answer, a number of curators have attempted instead to bring art exhibitions to the action as a way of potentially avoiding the institutional depoliticizing logic of the museum or gallery. Focusing on a public relations event titled ‘Massive Uprising’, which took place in Toronto, and two exhibitions, ‘Art Goes to Heiligendamm’, organized at anti-G8 protests, and ‘RETHINK’, held amid the COP15 negotiations in Copenhagen, I ask do the power relationships change if political or activist art is showcased outside of the institution? I conclude that all three examples were ultimately unsuccessful in their aims, but that they evertheless raise important questions regarding the role art might play in protest or oppositional action.
