‘How is it that a camp like Guantanamo Bay can exist in our time?,’ ask artists Ayreen Anastas and Rene Gabri in their latest project, Camp Campaign, commissioned by New York’s Art in General. Last summer Anastas and Gabri visited detention camps and other types of camps in the USA, meeting with fellow artists, scholars, and activists. They recorded these field trips, generating a set of documents examining the country’s political landscape. They were particularly interested in the different manifestations of ’states of exception,’ as in the case of the government’s suspension of federal law in the establishment of the Guantanamo Bay camp. The artists built the website campcampaign.info to expand upon their project by regularly posting journalistic accounts of their activities and reference essays on the topic. Currently on view at Art in General, the Camp Campaign exhibition represents the culmination of this work. Anastas and Gabri have created [...]

How scandinavian of me…
Text by: Charlotte Mosen Jensen, The little garden / THE LITTLE GARDEN
Introduction:
Started in London 2001
How Scandinavian Of Me shows a work of art in questions of investigation and formed like the artist in the part as ‘tourist’ with the same recognisable objects, the white T-shirt and ‘how scandinavian of me’, standing bare-feeted on the small heap of danish chipped bark.
A travelling artist starting from touristrelated attractions in Europe.
This project has interest, because it tells about integration of scandinavic
mentality and put questions to other cultures values. The intergration of an
artist has here the focus on the traditionally high-lights of

Hi All,
WE NEED YOUR VIDEO/COMPUTER GAMES VS. REAL LIFE VIDEOS!
My name is Misha and I’m a programmer for a film festival called BUDI film festival located in Busan, South Korea ( www.budi.org).
Currently, I’m working on putting together a special program named, “Reimagined: Computer Games as Culture” and we’re looking for related, quality content that could be screened in this one-time, 90-minute segment on April 25, 2007.
The idea behind this eclectic program is to show fragments, artistic shorts, fictional pieces and documentary chunks together in concert (80-120min segment total) that cast a light on how computer/video games are influencing our wider cultural vistas and also how some people playing games are ‘re-purposing’ and personalizing these spaces to fit their own tastes.
Find further thoughts and a (still short) blog at: http://my.opera.com/Budi2007/blog/
Let me know what you think and include any questions you have – [...]

Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art presents “Jeremy Mora: Sculpture,” February 1st through March 23rd, 2007.
49 Geary Street, Suite 200
San Francisco, CA 94108
Mora, a Los-Angeles-based sculptor, creates miniature landscapes using humble materials. Mora draws inspiration from bonsai, dollhouses, dioramas, and architectural models, objects united, according to the artist, by their status as idealized miniature environments, where humans can exert “complete control” over nature. Mora’s vignettes push viewers to approach the landscape, not as a natural phenomenon of sublime grandeur, but as a cultural phenomenon, a place suffused with history.
An Arizona native, Mora graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2004. Since his graduation, Mora has lived and worked in downtown Los Angeles. Mora has been in group exhibitions in Chicago and Los Angeles, and was recently featured at Pulse Miami (2006). In 2006, Mora held his first [...]

Presentation of the book: ‘Networking | The Net as an Artwork’
@ Transmediale :: Sunday 4/2, 16:00 :: Salon, Akademie der Kuenste, Berlin, D :: With Tatiana Bazzichelli [it/de], Jaromil [it/nl], Gaia Novati [it/de]; moderated by Diana McCarty [de].
Networking | The Net as an Artwork :: Written by Tatiana Bazzichelli, with the preface of Derrick De Kerckhove and the epilogue of the Italian videoartist Simonetta Fadda. The book represents a first tentative to write a comprehensive history of both analog and digital subcultural networked art in Italy, through an analysis of the realities which during the past twenty years have given way to a creative, shared and aware use of technologies – such as Mail Art, Neoism, the Luther Blissett project, BBS culture, Telestreets, and many other subcultural movements and networks.
The Italian network proposes a form of critical information, diffused through independent and collective projects. Active [...]
