Sorry of French

Balance criticizes on the forms of the bureaucratic support désinformant the
exemplairité of the work maniac declaring itself autonomous of the CAE, and
the run-up of solidarity spontanné which they met immediately by their own
fight and friends.

QUOTE

Contre la manipulation par désinformation pour plus d'utilité !

Y en amarre des arrivistes et des opportunistes sur les causes de la
répression ! Voir les résocrates bio et néo-institutionnalistes de la
militance se servant de l'engagement symbolique de l'art :

Tu nous ennuies avec l'argent Ewen : ici, je pense que personne n'en a et
pour des raisons certainement différentes - et surtout pas moi. Pour ce
genre de soutien vas chez les bourgeois qui ne produisentni ne créent. Nous
on peut bien passer des nuits blanches à traduire des textes comme je l'ai
fait et d'autres de tous les premiers textes de défense du CAE alors que tu
ne
paraissais pas encore t'intéresser à leur cas, ni Brian, car vous êtes
arrivés à
votre façon certes excellente et chacun à son tour pour élargir (ou
"spécialiser" ?) le soutien (quoique est-ce vraiment un élargissement ou une
appropriation, un saisissement tenant à distance d'autres qui pourraient
aider ? parce que ça devient un gisement de communication et de
dissusion!!!?)

Ce genre d'info militante sans coeur écarte au lieu qu'elle n'appelle à se
rapprocher.

Mais pas d'indécence
s'il te plait ! Spammer pour le fric ici, est-ce vraiment le lieu ? Fais le
sur nettime qui tient parmi ses inscrits les plus grands décideurs publiscs
en matière d'art et de culture... On ira à la grande soirée chez
confluences, c'est certain et bravo sauf accident. Mais pour le reste... Que
ce soit Louise ou Aliette ou criticalsecret (et d'ailleurs nous avons une
lettre publiée dans les lettres éditées par le CAE qui atteste de notre
présence, quand les "spécialistes" francophones y compris de langue
anglophone ne voulaient pas y perdre leur temps ou attendaient un ordre de
leur bureaucratie métapolitique de référence.

Pour mémoire, puisque tout cela démarra en même temps il y a un an et
jusqu'au milieu de l'été :

Ce que tu vois là a été mis en ligne quand tu voyais ailleurs que l'horizon
où tu aurais pu remarquer le passage de la mort de Hope et de savoir dans
quelle
triple tragédie humaine, politique, artistique et sociale elle fit basculer
Kurtz et ses amis engagés, dans les USA du Patriot act et de la guerre
contre l'humanité par tous les moyens.

Ce n'est pas que je veux me montrer mais c'est juste pour mémoire critique.
Alors le
CAE était pris à parti jusque sur la liste nettime anglophone, intégriste
elle-même dans ses propres domaines idéologiques intégristes judéo-chrétiens
anti intégristes islamisques (après il y a eu
des mouvements et des protestations et des posts d'inscrits qui n'avaient
pas l'habitude de correspondre et qui se sont manifestés solodairement ;
aujourd'hui heureusemetn le CAE publie plus facilement sur cette liste). La
première
solidarité avec le CAE a pris pied à partir de la liste Spectre grâce à nos
amis néerlandais amis de Kurtz et de sa femme, tandis que Beatrix et Claire
du CAE en étaient à chercher la solidarité artistique et scientifique
représentatives pour parvenir à faire entendre leur voix parmi la mouvance
de nettime, notamment anglophone en pleine langue de bois techo-libre à
l'époque. Je dois avouer que je
suis la première qui ait publié sur nettime-fr sur eux, et grâce au travail
de traduction que j'avais fait malgré toute ma difficulté dans ce domaine et
la peur de mal faire mais je l'ai fait car il n'y avait manifest"ement
personne d'autre parlant cette langue mieux que moi pour le faire... sans
être payé !!!! sinon...

Voici qui est passé le 13 avril sur nettime anglophone qui paraît plus
intéressant parce que ça conforte autrement qu'en termes de fric même si
cela vis aussi à en apporter solidairement en venant ou en participant,
votre propre soirée à Paris le 23 avril.

Nous la réinformons ici à ceette occasion ; Claire Pentecost sera présente :

ART IS NOT TERRORISM - PARIS - 23 APRIL 2005
http://www.caedefensefund.org

Mais alors le changement dans le titre de votre propre info dans le mail
dessous, non merci : c'est de la désinformation en milieu informé sans
ressources : c'est peu sympathique.

MASSIVE ART AUCTION WILL SUPPORT INDICTED ARTIST
STEVEN KURTZ AS BIOTERRORISM CHARGE THREAT RETURNS
More benefits and donations needed

An April 17 benefit auction at Paula Cooper Gallery in
NYC has attracted donations from some of the biggest names in
the contemporary art world, including Hans Haacke, Richard
Serra, Cindy Sherman, Martha Rosler, Sol LeWitt, Ruben
Ortiz Torres, Kiki Smith, Lorna Simpson, Chris Burden,
and many others. (See details at bottom or at
http://www.caedefensefund.org/auction/PaulaCooperGallery.html.)
<http://www.caedefensefund.org/auction/PaulaCooperGallery.html.%29>

Organizers of this Sunday's auction expect to raise at
least a six-figure sum to help artist Steven Kurtz and
scientist Robert Ferrell defend themselves against
politically-motivated federal charges of mail and wire
fraud--and, it now seems likely, bioterrorism charges
as well.

If convicted of the wire and mail fraud charges,
Kurtz, a founding member of the Critical Art Ensemble
(CAE) and Professor of Art at the University of
Buffalo, and Ferrell, a Professor of Human Genetics at
the University of Pittsburgh, could face up to 20
years in prison.

But worse is possible. On March 17, Steven Barnes,
also a founding member of the Critical Art Ensemble,
was served a subpoena to appear before a Federal Grand
Jury in Buffalo on April 19. According to the
subpoena, the FBI is once again seeking charges under
Section 175 of the US Biological Weapons
Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, as expanded by
the USA PATRIOT Act--charges which a previous Grand
Jury appeared to reject when they handed down
indictments of mail and wire fraud last summer. (See
http://www.caedefensefund.org for full details.)

The addition of bioterrorism charges will add to the
heavy financial and emotional burden of the
defendants. But the rising cost to taxpayers is
significant too. Although the New York State
Department of Health quickly deemed that the materials
used by Kurtz in his art posed no threat to public
health or safety, and the FBI's own field and
laboratory tests showed that they were not used for
any illegal purpose, the U.S. District Attorney
continues to waste vast sums of public money
prosecuting this outlandish, politically motivated
case.

Since June 2004, public events in support of the CAE
Defense Fund in the US, Canada, Europe, Mexico, Latin
America and Australia, as well as thousands of
individual contributions, have met the rising defense
costs. But as the case moves to trial, Kurtz and
Ferrell's expenses will increase dramatically, and
more fundraisers and donations will be needed. The
April 17 auction organizers hope the auction will serve
as a spur for people worldwide to organize new benefit
events and contribute to the fund. Please visit
http://caedefensefund.org for more information about
how you can help publicize this auction, organize your
own event, donate funds, or otherwise help support
Kurtz and Ferrell in this exceedingly important case
that could widely impact freedom of expression and
more in the US.
