Joey Skaggs (born 1945) is an American multi-media artist, activist, satirist, educator and prankster.[1][2][3] Skaggs is one of the originators of the phenomenon known as culture jamming.[4] In a career spanning six decades, he has produced paintings, sculptures, guerrilla theater,[5] performance art, socially revealing hoaxes, media pranks,[6] and films.

Films

[edit]

In 2012, director Andrea Marini set out to create "Art of the Prank", a documentary exploring Joey Skaggs' career. Skaggs proposed he would produce a faux documentary called "Pandora’s Hope," tackling real ethical issues of genetic modification. Filmed on Kauai, in Hawaii, under Skaggs' alias Joe Howard, the film starred Kit Farrell as a journalist investigating the island’s hidden facets, from high-tech military research to controversial GMO experimentation. "Pandora’s Hope" was featured at film festivals as a legitimate documentary between 2013 and 2015.

In 2017, "Art of the Prank", Andrea Marini's award-winning feature documentary about artist Joey Skaggs, was released internationally on television and streaming platforms, after having screened at multiple film festivals.[7][8][9]

In 2020, production began on a series of short award-winning oral history documentaries featuring Skaggs and materials from his archive titled, “Joey Skaggs Satire and Art Activism, 1960s to the Present and Beyond." Each film features a different aspect of his work, presented within the context of its time. The films are screening in international film festivals.[10]

The sail bore the slogan “CAL OR BUST.”  Once out of sight, Jones turned back and met Skaggs at a local bar.

Participants wore “Doody Rudy” hats and wheeled a trashcan filled with fake elephant dung, holding signs that read, “Doody Rudy with Dumbo’s Dung” and “Help Support the Homeless — $1.00 Contribution Per Throw Will be Donated to Housing Works, Inc.”. Hundreds threw dung at the portrait, mocking Giuliani’s outrage over Chris Ofili’s “Holy Virgin Mary” painting that utilized elephant dung (a Nigerian cultural practice) and was on display at the Brooklyn Museum.
