"Everything's Fucked" is a sprawling installation piece that can be entered and explored by a viewer. The installation makes use of doll parts, printed images, sex toys, paints, clays, and other media. Slogans such as "the pope is fucked" or "the police are fucked" can be seen plastered about the installation. The detail that has met with the strongest objections is a fully clothed printout of the underage singer Justin Bieber, to which the artist has affixed a urinating dildo. +

"FUCK TRUMP" is an 11x14 inch gouache by artist Brian Wiggins. The abstract geometric work is made up of a grid of colored squares that spell the words FUCK TRUMP. It was included in the original Allentown Art Museum installation of 'Hues of Red and Blue: The 2016 Presidential Election,' which was a juried exhibition of works by more than twenty artists in a range of media. The show was intended to "present critiques, lampoons, and straight-on representations of the candidates, their supporters, and issues being discussed this hectic election season” (from the exhibition press release). It opened October 20 at the Allentown Art Museum with spill-over at RE:find, a local Allentown gallery. +

"Fuck tha Police" is a protest song by the rap group N.W.A, from Compton, California, that appears on their second album, “Straight Outta Compton” as well as on the N.W.A's Greatest Hits compilation. The album became an underground hit, even without any radio play or media coverage, and introduced socially conscious gangsta rap into the mainstream. "Fuck tha Police" appears as the second song on the album, and highlights tensions between African American urban youth and law enforcement. It was ranked number 417 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Protesting police brutality and racial profiling, its lyrics express approval of violence against police. It parodies court proceedings by presenting Dr. Dre as a judge hearing a prosecution of the police department. Three members of the group, Ice Cube, MC Ren, and then Eazy-E, take the stand to "testify" before the judge.
"Fuckin' with me 'cause I'm a teenager/With a little bit of gold and a pager," rhymes Ice Cube. "When I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath of cops/Dyin' in L.A." Two interludes present re-enactments of stereotypical racial profiling and police brutality. +

The installation was to be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and would be live streamed continuously for the duration of Donald Trump's presidency.

"In his song, Mr. Najafi asks for Imam Naghi to return instead of the 12th imam, the Shiite messiah. He cynically raps that Iranians are ready to sacrifice themselves with the imam’s help to solve problems like 'shallow slogans' and 'Chinese-made prayer rugs.' The song is laden with rough street language." [http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/15/world/middleeast/shanin-najafi-iranian-born-rapper-faces-death-threats-over-song.html?_r=1] +
