Dear Ana,
not sure why this should be sent here. Is Mr Politi traying to prevent
market collapse... investigating influences to his market strategies?

How will Flash Art this issue...
=09heaving even more US artists in his magazine?
=09promoting politically correct expression?
=09animatig/promoting production of war-related art?


Looking at this phenomenon from the outside makes me remember what kind of
art was supported during the war in croatia, bosnia & herzegovina,
kosovo... or the worst example in nato bombing of serbia.

video art(ists) should be the most obvious benefitiaries of such event so
we might finally get to see some new production from TV footages.

Best.
