LifeKantor was born in Hungary on August 27, 1949.[2] In the 1970s, he studied medicine, but also participated in the underground arts scene of communist Budapest that centered on the art historian László Beke. WorkEarly workIn 1976, at the Young Art Club in Budapest, Cantsin met the American prankster and mail artist David Zack.[3] Zack suggested the idea of adopting the multiple identity Monty Cantsin, which Kantor accepted, to the extent that it became chiefly associated with him.[3] Returning to Montreal, he organized a Mail Art show, "The Brain in the Mail",[4] and in 1979 founded the Neoism moveement.[5] Soon afterwards, Neoism expanded into an international subcultural network that collectively used the Monty Cantsin identity.[6] Blood performancesKantor's own work in the late 1970s and early 1980s consisted most notably of the "Blood Campaign", an ongoing series of performances in which he takes his own blood and splashes it onto walls,[7] canvases or into the audience. At the same time, he continued to work within the Neoist network, co-organizing and participating in a series of Neoist festivals, which began as "Apartment Festivals", which were also called simply "APTs".[5][8] His more controversial works involve vandalism and gore, painting large X's in his own blood on the walls of modern art museums including next to two Picasso paintings at the MOMA in 1988[9][10] and at the Jeff Koons retrospective at the Whitney Museum in 2016.[11][12] In doing so he has been banned from some art galleries, a status he holds with pride. In 2004, he threw a vial of his own blood on a wall beside a sculpture of Michael Jackson by Paul McCarthy in the Hamburger Bahnhof contemporary art museum of Berlin.[13] Although his later work has been dismissed as a simple vandalism by some parts of the media.[14] Curator Laura O’Reilly, commenting on Istvan Kantors writing "Monty Cantsin" on a piece by artist Nelson Saiers in The Hole Shop gallery in New york, said "There’s a fine line between pissing on someone else’s piece as a form self expression — if you’re going to call that art".[15] Robotic artPast work also includes noise installations[18] and performances with electrically modified file cabinets.[16] He also founded the "Machine Sex Action Group" which realizes theatrical cyber-futuristic body performances in an S/M style.[17] The human body in its relation to machines, explored both in its apocalyptic and subversive potentials remains a major theme of his work. AwardsIn March 2004 he was awarded the Canadian Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts.[18] References1. ^{{cite book|author=Richard Kostelanetz|title=A Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qlK7uHg2Dh8C&pg=PT119|date=13 May 2013|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-136-80619-3|pages=119–}} 2. ^{{cite book|author=Kristine Stiles|title=Concerning Consequences: Studies in Art, Destruction, and Trauma|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VthwCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA91|date=21 March 2016|publisher=University of Chicago Press|isbn=978-0-226-77453-4|pages=91–}} 3. ^{{cite book|title=Art-com|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=m5IXAQAAMAAJ|year=1983|publisher=Contemporary Arts Press}} 4. ^{{cite book|author=John Held|title=Mail Art: An Annotated Bibliography|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JANUAAAAMAAJ|year=1991|publisher=Scarecrow Press|isbn=978-0-8108-2455-3}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web|last1=Mitrovic|first1=Sasa|title=The Toronto Artist Museums Hate|url=http://www.torontostandard.com/culture/istvan-kantor-neoisim-blood-campaigns-and-guerilla-art/|website=Toronto Standard|accessdate=8 June 2016}} 6. ^{{cite book|author=Tatiana Bazzichelli|title=Networking: The Net as Artwork|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VbiQ2-Xh20EC&pg=PA43|date=February 2009|publisher=BoD – Books on Demand|isbn=978-87-91810-08-4|pages=43–}} 7. ^{{cite web|last=Lloyd|first=Ginny|title=The Storefront: A living art project|publisher=Lloyd Productions, San Francisco |date=1984}} 8. ^{{cite book|author=Tatiana Bazzichelli|title=Networking: The Net as Artwork|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VbiQ2-Xh20EC&pg=PA44|date=February 2009|publisher=BoD – Books on Demand|isbn=978-87-91810-08-4|pages=44–}} 9. ^{{cite book|author=Kristine Stiles|title=Concerning Consequences: Studies in Art, Destruction, and Trauma|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MdhwCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA388|date=21 March 2016|publisher=University of Chicago Press|isbn=978-0-226-30440-3|pages=388–}} 10. ^{{cite book|author=Sussex Publishers, LLC|title=Spy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RP0KUMW09m0C&pg=PA38|date=November 1997|publisher=Sussex Publishers, LLC|pages=38–|ISSN=0890-1759}} 11. ^{{cite web|last1=Steinhauer|first1=Jillian|title=Man Vandalizes Jeff Koons Retrospective [UPDATED]|url=http://hyperallergic.com/144857/man-vandalizes-jeff-koons-retrospective/|website=Hyperallergenic|accessdate=8 June 2016}} 12. ^{{cite web|title=Canadian blood artist, Istvan Kantor, hits Jeff Koons exhibit|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/canadian-blood-artist-istvan-kantor-hits-jeff-koons-exhibit-1.2742657|website=CBC News|accessdate=8 June 2016}} 13. ^{{cite web|last1=Ross|first1=Cecily|title=Blood artist strikes again, in Berlin|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/blood-artist-strikes-again-in-berlin/article1144664/|website=The Globe and Mail|accessdate=8 June 2016}} 14. ^http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2014/10/art-crime-vandalismculturejeffkoonsbanksy.html 15. ^http://animalnewyork.com/2015/istvan-kantor-strikes-again-vandal-artist-tags-nelson-saiers-art/ 16. ^{{cite book|author1=Hannes Leopoldseder|author2=Christine Schöpf|title=Cyberarts 2000|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UDnW6agINjIC&pg=PA1991|year=2000|publisher=Springer Science & Business Media|isbn=978-3-211-83498-5|pages=1991–}} 17. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Baird|first1=Daniel|title=Istvan Kantor with Daniel Baird|url=http://www.brooklynrail.org/2004/06/art/istvan-kantor|website=Brooklyn Rail|accessdate=8 June 2016}} 18. ^{{cite web|title=The Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts - 2004|url=http://ggavma.canadacouncil.ca/htmlfixed/Archives/2004/kantor-e.html|website=Canada Council for the Arts|accessdate=8 June 2016}}{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} External links
