Mr Uthman Olayinka,
General Secretary, Academic Staff Union
of Polytechnics (ASUP), LASPOTECH chapter, told NAN that the
strike began at noon as directed.
A self - proclaimed dropout
of the art world, Lozano rejected the commerciality
of the art scene by committing an act
of defiance, in four parts:
General Strike Piece, a performance that
began in February 1969 as a protest to the banality
of the existing artistic atmosphere; Decide to Boycott Women, a twenty - seven year hiatus from contact with her female supporters, including artists, gallerists, and critics,
begun in August 1971; Dialogue Piece, an invitation to dialogue that blurred the roles between artist as sender and viewer as receiver.
