Art critics are still grappling with the after-effects of the movement as recently as June of 2019.
While "Renoir Sucks at Painting" is Geller's most well known aesthetic protest, there were any smaller ones that preceded it.
In addition to the array of staged satirical public performances, Geller also has a history of spontaneous confrontations with politicians.
Much of Geller’s work remain unrecognized today, and the motives and consequences are still unexamined.
It is difficult to know which actions ought to be understood as art, protest, or something else entirely.
Examples include a drag performance in Provincetown called “The Angry Geisha” in 2007, the sinking of an old wooden boat named S.S. Marjorie in Boston Harbor in 2011, and, most recently, handing out copies of the Declaration of Independence in London in 2019.

It is found in Central Asia.
According to Seitz - the prettiest and most variegated form, in short one of the finest Burnets, is "truchmena" Evrsm.

Expressways of Vietnam
The Expressway network of Vietnam is a recent addition to the transport network of Vietnam.
The first expressways were opened in the mid-2000s, by 2020, the expressway network is expected to stretch and plans are for over of expressway by 2030.
Expressways are a rather recent addition to the Vietnamese road network, and standardization has not been fully implemented.
Ownership varies by expressway, they are financed, developed, owned and operated by either state-owned or private companies on behalf of the Ministry of Transport.
For example, state-owned Vietnam Expressway Corporation owns and exploits four expressways, but toll collection is done by subcontracted companies.
The companies exploiting the expressways have to report traffic numbers and toll revenue to the Ministry of Transport and the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam.
This construction has been subject of fraud investigations several times, as toll revenue was falsified by the collecting companies in order to take advantage of the difference.
The government has also threatened operating companies to revoke their toll collection licence after lack of maintenance caused dangerous situations on several expressways.
In 2019 it was reported that the Vietnam Expressway Corporation was $3.7 billion USD in debt, and earning $137 million in revenue each year.
The total cost of the planned expressway network is estimated at $47.9 billion.
Generally all cars, buses and trucks are permitted on the expressway but "công nông" (agricultural vehicles) and most notably all types motorcycles are not.
A minimum speed of is generally in effect, and the maximum speed is , although sections with a lower maximum speed are common.

Bhim Sena
Bhim Sena or Bheem Sena or Akhil Bhartiya Bhim Sena, abbreviated as ABBS, lit.
"All India Ambedkar Army", is an Ambedkarite social organization working for rights of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes and religious minorities in India currently under national president, Nawab Satpal Tanwar.
It works for protecting the Indian Constitution and reservation.
The organisation is named after B. R. Ambedkar.
Anil Tanwar is national in-charge of Bhim Sena.
In 14 April 1968, Karnataka's B. Shyam Sunder founded Bhim Sena as a volunteers corps, seeking self-defence and equality which asserted that dalits are "mool bharatis" (the original inhabitants of India).
In 29 May 1972, on similar patterns Dalit Panthers was founded in Maharashtra.
First ever dalit volunteer organization was Samata Sainik Dal formed in 1927 by B. R. Ambedkar.
In 1907, "Ayyankali Pada" was created by dalit reformer Ayyankali in Kerala.

Pontobdella muricata
Pontobdella muricata is a species of marine leech in the family Piscicolidae.
It is a parasite of fishes and is native to the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
"Pontobdella muricata" is a long cylindrical, somewhat flattened leech, narrowing at both ends.
It has a number of annulations, which do not correspond to its internal segmentation, and is one of the largest sea leeches, with a length of up to long when at rest, and double that length when stretched.
The anterior end has a sucker with which it feeds, and the posterior end bears another sucker with which it adheres to its host.
The skin is rough and covered with small warts; the colour varies, juveniles are usually black or dark green with small speckles, while adults are pale grey, tan or olive-green.
Native to the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, the species ranges from the Arctic, the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, to the Mediterranean Sea.
It has also been reported from the United States, Canada, Namibia and Pakistan, but some of these records may be due to misidentification.
It is found on the seabed at depths down to about and attached to large demersal fish.
This leech is an external parasite of cartilagenous fishes such as the marbled electric ray ("Torpedo marmorata"), the common stingray ("Dasyatis pastinaca"), and the thornback ray ("Raja clavata"), and less often of ray-finned fish such as the European plaice ("Pleuronectes platessa"), the black scorpionfish ("Scorpaena porcus") and the red scorpionfish ("Scorpaena scrofa").
It is found attached to the gills, the abdomen and the bases of the fins of the host where it feeds by sucking blood.
It is quiescent during the day, holding itself motionless and partially coiled, attached by its posterior sucker, but becomes active at night, when it feeds.
It can separate from its host and swim by flattening its body.
It is the intermediate host for the protozoan "Trypanosoma raiae" which it carries in its gut and transmits to rays.
Like all leeches, "P. muricata" is a hermaphrodite, and fertilisation is internal.
The eggs pass through the clitellum where each is enclosed in a spherical cocoon.
These are attached to empty bivalve or gastropod shells on the seabed and are pale at first but darken with age.
They are often irregularly grouped together, each with a slender, twisted stalk connecting it to a spreading, membranous holdfast.
The sphere is filled with a thick, gelatinous material with the developing embryo spirally coiled within.
When it is nearly long and ready to hatch, a pair of small, rounded protuberances at the side of the sphere fall off allowing the juvenile leech to emerge, and search for a suitable host fish.
Zygaena olivieri
Zygaena olivieri is a species of moth in the Zygaenidae family.
It is found in Syria , Armenia and Georgia.
Seitz describes it -In "olivieri" Boisd.
(= "dsidsilia" Frr.)
(7h) not only the collar and 2—8 abdominal segments are red but also the patagia, the red spots of the forewing being very large; from Syria and Armenia.In subspecies "Z. o. laetifica" Herrich-Schäffer, 1846 the pairs of spots on forewing are separate.
— In "Z. o. ganimedes" Freyer, [1851] from Amasia, the penultimate pair of spots and the apical patch are rather broadly connected and the red markings of the forewing have a white edge of about 1 mm width.

Weimar courtyard of the muses
The Weimar courtyard of the muses is a term, that had ermerged during the 19th century.
It refers to an elite fellowship of people in Classical Weimar (1772-1805), that was made up of nobles and commoners, courtiers, civil servants, writers, artists and scientists, who congregated around the central character, Duchess Anna Amalia of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, pioneer of Weimar Classicism and patroness of the arts.
Duchess Anna Amalia was the mother and from 1758 until 1775 regent for the infant Grand Duke Karl August von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach.
The concept and character of the "courtyard of the muses" and Anna Amalias image, role and personal motives have been reviewed and largely "deconstructed" during recent decades.
Modern revisions predominantly present sober conclusions and largely disagree with 19th century claims of a society in progress as a result of the utilization of the guiding principles of the Enlightenment and the cultivation of the genius.
Visual inspiration was Theobald von Oer's 1860 painting: "Weimar courtyard of the muses.
Schiller reading to the court in Tiefurt", in older mentions, also called "Weimar's Golden Days".
The painting depicts a rather fictional, ideally arranged scene around 1794/95: An illustrious party, that consists of noble menbers of the court and commoners alike (scholars, artists and scientists), has gathered, regardless to class etiquette and formalities, in and around the Tiefurt Muse temple (which was only built in 1803), while listening to Friedrich Schiller's deliberations.
