BIO
Joy Garnett is a painter based in New York. She appropriates news images from the Internet and re-invents them as paintings. Her subject is the apocalyptic-sublime landscape, as well as the digital image itself as cultural artifact in an increasingly technologized world. Her image research has resulted in online documentation projects, most notably The Bomb Project.

Notable past exhibitions include her recent solo shows at Winkleman Gallery, New York and at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC; group exhibitions organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, P.S.1/MoMA Contemporary Art Center, Artists Space, White Columns (New York), Kettle's Yard, Cambridge (UK), and De Witte Zaal, Ghent (Belgium).

International Video Festival in Ramallah, Palestine (fwd)


..........forwarded message...........

Date: Sat, 27 Jul 2002 10:32:58 -0400
From: EMILY JACIR <ejacir@usa.net>
Subject: International Video Festival in Ramallah, Palestine

Dear friends,

I am curating a video art festival of International artists to be held in Ramallah this Fall.

There will be no official theater location. Rather, the festival will take place within the homes of the people in Ramallah. People will take the videos home and watch them and then when the curfew is lifted, will pass the video on to the next person,etc. In this way, everyone will have access to the videos and they will be able to be shown around the city.

Unfortunately, we can not guarantee the safe return of your video. If your video is in a house, and Israeli soldiers enter the house, it will more then likely be destroyed.
We welcome all subject matter EXCEPT anything about the Palestinian/ Israeli conflict. The video system there is PAL.

Please contact me at: emilyvideo2002@yahoo.com
if you would like to submit your video.

Best,
Emily

Privacy International


Anyone going to be in London in Sept.? Here's something:

Privacy, Open Society & the Challenge of September 11th
http://www.privacyinternational.org/conference/london2002/

A one-day public conference organised by
Privacy International
& the Electronic Privacy Information Center

The Old Theatre, London School of Economics
Friday 6th September 2002
10.00 - 5.00

Hosted by the Department of Information Systems, London School of Economics

Admission - free

The events of September 11th have placed unprecedented pressures on such fundamental rights as privacy, freedom of association and freedom of expression. National security and law enforcement agencies have moved quickly to increase their mandate, often without the checks and balances of transparency and accountability. Legislators have rushed to promulgate security laws, often without open debate.

In an era of concern over public safety, what is the future for civil liberties and open society? One year after September 11th, this important conference brings together key figures from throughout the world to discuss these crucial issues.

Speakers and respondents will discuss developments in privacy and surveillance, free speech and censorship, national security, international government co-operation, freedom of information, law enforcement capability, financial privacy, identity and tracking systems and the role of civil society.

Anyone interested in attending this conference should email london2002@privacy.org
