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). She shows with aeroplastics contemporary, Brussels, Belgium.

Email from artist suspected by FBI of bioterrorism
08:25 JST Art - Health and Medicine - US Policy and Politics
In the comments on an earlier post on this blog about an artist suspected
by the FBI of bioterrorism, there was a great deal of speculation about
the incident and the facts. (Read the link above to my previous post for
the background.) I emailed the artist, Steven Kurtz, asking him for the
facts, and here is his reply.

Hi Joi,
Its a long and complex story.
To shorten it:
I was detained for 22 hours by the FBI
They seized my wife's body, house, cat and car.
These items were released a week later
In the house they seized computers, science equipment, chunks of my
library, teaching files,
I-D, and all my research for a new book.
The only thing I have gotten back is my wife's birth certificate
On Sunday, two members of CAE got summons to appear before a Grand
Jury. (This is bad. It
means I will be charged. Grand Jury is a closed court--only the FBI
gets to present its case).
The Grand Jury will meet on June 15
In all proabability, I will be arrested shortly thereafter.
Best,
Steve/CAE

* Sink the PIRATE Act
The PIRATE Act (S.2237) is yet another attempt to make taxpayers fund
the misguided war on file sharing, and it's moving fast. The bill
would allow the government to file civil copyright lawsuits in
addition to criminal prosecutions, dramatically lowering the burden
of proof and adding to the thousands of suits already filed by
record companies. It would also force the American public to pay
the legal bills of foreign record companies like Bertelsmann,
Vivendi Universal, EMI, and Sony. Meanwhile, not a penny from
the lawsuits goes to the artists.
Don't let the record industry use your hard-earned dollars to pursue
this fruitless war; tell Congress to sink the PIRATE Act!

* FBI's "National Security Letters" Threaten Online Speech and
Privacy
EFF Urges Court to Find USA PATRIOT Act Powers Unconstitutional
San Francisco, CA - EFF this week filed a friend-of-the-court
brief supporting the ACLU in a suit challenging the constitutionality
of National Security Letters (NSLs). Authorized by the USA
PATRIOT Act and issued directly by FBI agents without any court
supervision or show of probable cause, the letters are used to
demand detailed information about people's Internet communications
from ISPs, web mail providers, and other communications service
providers. The people whose private data is searched are not
notified, and every letter is accompanied by a gag order that
prohibits the letter's recipient from ever revealing its
existence.
In its brief, EFF argues that the portion of the PATRIOT Act
authorizing these warrantless government demands is
unconstitutional, violating both First Amendment free speech
rights and the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable
search and seizure.
"Using National Security Letters, the FBI can see what websites
you visit, what mailing lists you subscribe to, whom you
correspond with, and much more - all without judicial oversight
of any kind," explained EFF Staff Attorney and Bruce J. Ennis/
Equal Justice Works Fellow Kevin Bankston. "Yet this unrestrained
power to examine innocent citizens' First Amendment activities
online is merely one of the unconstitutional surveillance
authorities granted to the FBI by the PATRIOT Act."
A favorable judgment in the ACLU's case would prohibit the FBI
from using NSLs any further.
Co-signatories to the EFF brief include the Center for Constitutional
Rights, the Center for Democracy and Technology, the Electronic
Privacy Information Center, the Online Policy Group, Salon Media
Group's division the WELL, and the U.S. Internet Industry
Association.

~ Clear Channel Finds Another Way to Abuse Artists: Patents
The company recently bought a patent for recording a CD of a concert
immediately after the show. A profitable, artist-empowering

4warding: Cabinet Magazine looking for material for issue #16

Subject:looking for material for issue # 16
Dear Cabinet contributors,
We are currently looking for material for our Winter issue (issue
16). In addition to the Main section, this will also have a thematic
section on the Sea. The Main section is, as usual, omnivorous and
hungry for almost any topic. The thematic section will address with
a wide variety of issues related to the Sea, ranging from the
literary and artistic to the commercial and the legal. We are, of
course, also looking for artist projects. Feel free to forward this
to any writers or artists you think might be interested.
Possible topics might include, but are *by no means* limited to:
-- visual representation and audio recordings of the sea and its
inhabitants
-- piracy and sailors
-- islands and island communities
-- maritime law
-- shipping routes, trade, etc.
-- boat-building
-- new scientific work, oceanography, etc.
-- sea animals
-- freeports
-- shipwreck
-- landlocked vs. port spaces
-- beach culture
-- sea travel and conquest
-- the sea as abyss, sea monsters
-- the visual depiction or symbolic dimensions of the underwater
landscape
-- aquariums
Contributions relating to both contemporary and historical material
are welcome; visually rich material is especially desired.
We need first drafts by August 15 and finished drafts by September 15.
Artist projects need to be in by September 15 (please note that we
shy away from doing a second project with any artist who has
contributed a major artist project to Cabinet in the past).
Thanks

literary and artistic to the commercial and the legal. We are, of
course, also looking for artist projects. Feel free to forward this
to any writers or artists you think might be interested.
Possible topics might include, but are *by no means* limited to:
-- visual representation and audio recordings of the sea and its
inhabitants
-- piracy and sailors
-- islands and island communities
-- maritime law
-- shipping routes, trade, etc.
-- boat-building
-- new scientific work, oceanography, etc.
-- sea animals
-- freeports
-- shipwreck
-- landlocked vs. port spaces
-- beach culture
-- sea travel and conquest
-- the sea as abyss, sea monsters
-- the visual depiction or symbolic dimensions of the underwater
landscape
-- aquariums
Contributions relating to both contemporary and historical material
are welcome; visually rich material is especially desired.
We need first drafts by August 15 and finished drafts by September 15.
Artist projects need to be in by September 15 (please note that we
shy away from doing a second project with any artist who has
contributed a major artist project to Cabinet in the past).
Thanks
