:: Push BUSH out! ::
June 9th 07 :: No War & No Bush Day

Against Bush and against the multilateral war of Prodi government "You’re scared, you’re damn scared, you’ll be scared, you’ll be scared to death!"
A careful listener of the words from the texan thief - better known as georgdabbliù Bush - is able to catch this always silent, always untold, but at the same time always spoken subtext. The texan psychopath has a bunch of partners speaking the same language. Sarko, for example, never stops reminding French people that they have to be scared, scared of banlieues, scared of the "racaille". The "comrades" of the Pd learnt the lesson as well: "we are all terribly afraid of gipsies, of prostitutes, of migrants"; it seems that there is only one complaint to be known.

Prelude to the G8: Tearing it up in Hamburg
By the Anti-G8 Action Faction

May 28th 2007
On their way to block the G8 summit in
Heiligendamm, anti-capitalists from all over
Germany and the world stop in Hamburg to confront
the Asian-European Meeting (ASEM).
Finally, something was happening.
...is how I thought of the chubbier part of the Biennale de Montreal that I saw in mid-May. (The show is suburbanized, and I'm on foot here.) It was a long weekend, being Victoria Day on Monday. Sigh. The city is deserted. It would look rather like Surrealist Paris if all those lovely statues in the square with their beaux arts nymphs and goddesses hadn't been spoiled by being topped by a stuffy looking man in a suit. It's like putting a turd on an ice cream Sunday. At least the seagulls are shitting on the King's head...
Bingyi, Space Garbage: Bingyi's show will travel to New York City.Bingyi: The Dawns Here are Quiet closed at UB Art Gallery on May 19th, 2007. The show is traveling to Ethan Cohen Fine Arts in New York City where it will be exhibited from May 31st through June 31st, 2007. These paintings focus largely on media representations of global politics and ideological conflicts pared down to a few enigmatic details. Bingyi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Visual Studies at the University at Buffalo. In addition to her careers as both an artist and educator, she has also worked as a curator for various exhibitions both in the U.S. and China.
What a sad and disgusting story.
But quiet some food for thought.
Very curious about opinions here!
