Alek: New Business Heaven in Europe

2007-07-03T12:58:02Z

Why is shameful to advertise the average salary in the country? It is an official data after all. And more companies move in Macedonia, faster that sum will go higher. Macedonia is investing heavy in its future by promoting IT in schools, now it openned up free internet cafes, reduced internet for retired and disabled, etc.

There is always value if you do something rather than sit still and wait for the things to get better. The government is trying to be investment oriented and help foreign companies come to Macedonia. Everything that was said in the ad is true. The same ad appears in WSJ and in Business Week for several months now.

And the official name of the country is Republic of Macedonia.

Jubal Harshaw: Workshop on Art Activism and the Camp for Climate Action

2007-06-21T01:41:45Z

Thank you for your good work on behalf of the Environmental Movement.
Some of my friends are eco warriors from the road protests of the 1990s and their children are planning to hold another kids' bloc Children's Revolution at the Camp for Climate Action in August.
We are also working on the idea of combining the Camp with an Earth Fair to offer positive answers to the global crisis.
We are also hoping to keep the Camp going permanently as a Greenham Common style camp for world peace and the environment.
When you meet all the residents of the three little villages near Heathrow perhaps you can let them know that the eco warriors are coming soon to join them in their struggle to save their homes and the human race from extinction.
Thank you.

This is a another blatant attempt to stifle media that attempts to publish independant view. What we need to do is to oppose these kinds of acts. There are ofcourse methods to circumvent this blocking.

Cira Pascual and Chris Gilbert, are you really in Venezuela? Since you write "desde Venezuela Bolivariana y revolucionaria", I assume you are there. Many of us here, would love to know what you are doing. Perhaps working for policeman Farruco Sesto, who fires curators from museums claiming that curatorial voice is a very unnecessary thing in art practice, not only unnecessary but also dangerous. Are you helping him implement this point of view and putting it to practice? How many people are you thinking of censoring, firing from their jobs, because they do not worship the ground that chavez walks on? Please keep us informed of your activities. A lot of people here in Caracas are anxious to know more. As always it is the JOHN REED complex, the gringo who goes to the banana republic to fight for the HUMMER ROBOLUTION.

you poor innocent soul. if you just knew what is really happening in this country you wouldn't be so enthusiastical about this so called revolution, i must add to my comment that it's so easy to be a "revolutionaire green fanatic" while living with every kind of first world advantage,ie. education, health, hospitals in good work conditions, good housing and big net of art galleries and museums where artist with different aproachs and proposals can be seen and promoted.......not to mention the freedom any citizen in your country has to disagree or not with the actual potitical tendencies and actions towards the rest of the world. so your position concernig revolutionary solidarity to me it's just a matter of wanting to find a good reason to fullfill certain kind of teenage frustation concerning some desire for an intellectual adventure in the realms of a convulse world and in the confussion caused by all that leftish noise made by some people who are being used and abused in this country by a bunch of unashamed so called leaders of a Bolivarian revolution. I wonder if you really know who Simon Bolivar was and what really means to be a Bolivarian and i also wonder what Karl Marx use to think about Bolivar? so please leave us alone.

Martha Rosler’s dismissal of curatorial agency here is more visceral (having to do with the umbilical cord of cultural capital that connects her to the art system) rather than considered. Like many critical artists, she would rather have curators be silent deal-makers, thus ensuring that a monopoly on critical positions is maintained (read: contained) within the theatre of artists practices. That's how the business of political art proceeds. So when a curator threatens that arrangement -- first through developing an overtly and actually politicized exhibition practice then through denouncing “business as usual,” of course that occasions her grumbling. In fact, what she is doing is slapping Chris (and Brian’s) wrists for disrupting the silent commerce that so-called critical artists maintain with the art system. She calls this “stepping in front of the work” in her posting; Chris and I call it taking a stance (something we do not as individual curators but in alignment with social processes and movements).

Very interesting comments. There are indeed many, many projects that seek, on a very micro level, to bring all people together.
But it is not just about money, or lack of it, that makes these stories disappear. It is also about the concept of journalism that promotes the 'good vs. evil' 'us vs them' principle.
