INTIMACY + AESTHETICS 2:
Video Artists in Conversation
CONSTANCE DEJONG + TONY OURSLER
Wednesday Nov 8
6:30-8pm
DeJong and Oursler will present new work
and discuss their long-standing collaboration.
++
Constance DeJong has made performance and video extensions of her writing,
presenting oral adaptations of her published texts. Since the creation of
her first novel Modern Love (1978) - published in serial form as mail art
Under the programmatic title Anonymous: In the Future No One Will Be Famous, the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt presents an exhibition with works by 11 international artists who - like the curator - will remain unnamed. In their Notes toward a Manifesto, the initiators of the exhibition proclaim: “Anonymous artists wish to wriggle the status quo into a status incognitus. Their aim is to remove the increasing barbarization of thought via short circuits and fast lanes created by the marketing of artists as brands whose works have become masterpieces in ignorance of philosophy."

Assemble For Rights is a growing alliance of organizations and ordinary New Yorkers united to protect freedom of speech and assembly in NYC.
In light of recent efforts by the NYPD to create new rules regulating public gatherings, we have come together to ask the New York City Council to take charge in this matter. NYC needs new public gatheringrules. The city’s current rules are not effective in protecting civil liberties nor do they give the NYPD clear guidelines for policing public events. However, we believe only the New York City Council, as the representatives of the people, have the authority to make laws that affect our fundamental freedoms. We call on City Council to pass legislation that both safeguards the full expression of our constitutional rights and ensures the public safety. Assemble For Rights has put forward legislation that will accomplish these goals, and we urge the City Council to adopt it.

Lower Manhattan Cultural Council - Recipe for Downtown
What’s your recipe to change downtown? Lower Manhattan Cultural Council invited the public to spice up the pot by suggesting their “recipe” for the area south of 14th Street, be it anything from a design for a new public piazza to the instructions for making a new kind of pizza.What we'll produce is a recipe book for downtown to be published using “just-in-time” printing by Dexter Sinister.
The book will be released at the Cities, Art and Recovery Book Launch. For more information including how to get a copy of this book, stay tuned to this page.
„Information Freedom Rules" is the title of the 4th Wizards of OS conference, taking place in Berlin on 14-16 September 2006. Among the topics are the future of free software and the presence of free netlabel music, the freedom of art and the free culture nation Brazil. The rules to be discussed include copyright law and licenses, quality assurance in free information and regulation of the electromagnetic spectrum, an essential resource as we move into the mobile wireless era. Another essential resource is money. New rules for an economy based on free culture will be one of the focus issues of WOS4.
