With already five decades of continuous neo-actionist hyper-experimentation behind him, Istan Kantor remains one of the most active and provocative contributors of today’s live-art/performance scene. While he has never been taken in by the institutional academic art world, he has earned an international reputation for his uncompromising artistic attitude and radical engagements. His work has been compared to Duchamp, Beuys, Marinetti, Lenin, Kafka, Emma Goldman, John Cage, and others.
