Another work we want to mention is an intervention at the press conference of Manifesta 3 in Ljubljana. We came to this new European Biennial with leaflets and spray cans. When the press conference started we kind of occupied the panel, sprayed a slogan on the huge screen, made noise and handed out leaflets. The slogan was: “Demolish neo-liberalist multicultural art system now!” Bodyguards came and dragged us out of the hall. Three hours later we were arrested by Slovenian secret police in the streets. Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Drawings from trial:
On Saturday morning January 4th 1997,Brener after supposedly travelling to Amsterdam for the express purpose of damaging the painting sprayed a green dollar sign on the work. The oil on canvas painting depicts a white cross on a light grey background and Brener said he intended the dollar sign to appear nailed to the cross.
