CTheory Announcement
Support Steve Kurtz and the Critical Art Ensemble
_____________________________________________________________________
Dear CTheory Readers,
We recently received the following news which is really disturbing in terms of civil rights and artistic freedom in the present political climate spawned by the so-called "War on Terrorism."
We strongly encourage everyone to read the full announcement and to support Steve Kurtz and the Critical Art Ensemble.
Arthur and Marilouise Kroker, Editors
Dr. Steven Kurtz, professor of art at SUNY Buffalo and members of
the Critical Art Ensemble are facing indictment at a grand jury
trial in Buffalo, NY, June 15. The FBI is bringing bioterrorism
charges against the group for possession of a biotechnology lab found
at Kurtz's home. Thus, the group will incur gigantic legal fees and
face imprisonment.
Dr. Kurtz and CAE are internationally recognized lecturers in the
areas of biotechnology, information technology and media studies.
Their work has always been anti-terrorist, that is, against fear as a
cultural detriment to discussion. For more information and
support, see:
