Guerilla Art Action Group and Jean Toche
United States of America vs. Artist Jean Toche

The Guerrilla Art Action Group proposes to install an information booth at the 11th Annual Avant Garde Festival. They will answer questions and invite discussion in regards to the arrest of artist Jean Toche on March 31, 1974, for sending out handbills criticizing the policies of certain museums. The arrest led to Toche being sentenced to undergo a psychiatric examination. This 3-page document includes a press release for the festival as well as an open letter to the President of the American Psychiatric Association questioning their involvement with dissidents.
