The New American Dictionary
The Boston-based performance group Institute for Infinitely Small Things has published a book called The New American Dictionary.
The dictionary highlights the terminology of fear, security and war that has permeated American English post 9-11. It includes 68 new terms i.e. Preparedness and Freedom Fries as well as terms that have recently been redefined i.e. Torture.
The dictionary also has an interactive dimension. 58 terms are left undefined for the reader to pencil in their own definition. Furthermore, readers are invited to submit their additions to the institute for a possible inclusion in the 2nd edition.
The New American Dictionary is available at several online stores.
exhaust emissions balloons
a huge balloon, tied to a car�s vent-pipe, depicting the amount of exhaust emissions a car releases a day.
the "bursting earth" project is similar, but more dynamic. activists attach world globe balloons on exhaust pipes of cars in Berlin. the exhaust gas inflates the ballons. after the message becomes readable, there is a big "bang".

WoW!
Aram Bartholl is a german artist renowned for making physical abstractions of the digital world, particularly game-worlds.
One of Aram's not-to-be-missed performances is inspired by the popular computer game World of Warcraft (WoW).
In WoW, the nickname of the player's avatar is constantly hovering above the head of the player so that the identity is visible for everyone else in the game.
Aram took this little feature out of cyberspace to see how it would look if people's names would float above their heads in the physical world too.
WoW has been performed at different locations around the world. Luckily, it is well-documented!

REALIZING THE IMPOSSIBLE: ART AGAINST AUTHORITY
Aesthetics and Politics
REALIZING THE IMPOSSIBLE: ART AGAINST AUTHORITY by Josh MacPhee, Erik Reuland, editors :: There has always been a close relationship between aesthetics and politics in anti-authoritarian social movements. And those movements have in turn influenced many of the last century's most important art movements, including cubism, Dada, post-impressionism, abstract expressionism, surrealism, Fluxus, Situationism, and punk. Today, the movement against corporate globalization, with its creative acts of resistance, has brought anti-authoritarian politics into the forefront. This sprawling, inclusive collection explores this vibrant history, with topics ranging from turn-of-the-century French cartoonists to modern Indonesian printmaking, from people rolling giant balls of trash down Chicago streets to massive squatted urban villages and renegade playgrounds in Denmark, from stencil artists of Argentina to radical video collectives of the US and Mexico. Lots of illustrations, all b&w.;

> AUCTION TO BENEFIT CAE DEFENSE FUND IS OVERWHELMING SUCCESS
> Government intensifies investigation
>
> On Sunday April 17, an art auction to benefit the CAE Defense Fund
> raised $167,700. The auction, held at Paula Cooper Gallery in New York
> City, featured over fifty artists who donated their work to the cause.
>
> The amount raised was over three times more than had been raised (and
> spent) in the eleven months preceding the auction. Still, two to three
> times as much may be needed to successfully defend Steve Kurtz, a
> founding member of Critical Art Ensemble (CAE) and Professor of Art at
> the University of Buffalo, and Robert Ferrell, a Professor of Human
> Genetics at the University of Pittsburgh, throughout the entire trial
> process.
>
> While the auction's success demonstrates the growing support for CAE,
> the ordeal grinds on as the prosecution vigorously pursues its "case"
> and the FBI continues to expand its costly investigation against the
> artists' collective. Two days after the fundraiser, Steven Barnes,
> another founding member of the CAE, appeared before a federal grand
> jury in response to a subpoena which indicates that the Justice
> Department is again seeking charges under Section 175 of the US
> Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, as expanded by the USA
> PATRIOT Act. Under advice of his attorney, Barnes is unable to speak
> about the grand jury hearing itself.
>
> The benefit auction at Paula Cooper Gallery saw hundreds of people
> stream through the gallery all day. The event culminated with a live
> auction hosted by writer/actor Wallace Shawn. In his opening remarks,
> Shawn spoke against complacency and apathy during these very dangerous
> times. Steve Kurtz, who attended the auction, was unable to speak
> directly about the case under advice of council. He graciously thanked
> the crowd, obviously moved by this strong show of support.
>
> Artists who donated their works to the auction included: Acconci
> Studio, Dennis Adams, Carl Andre, The Atlas Group, Nayland Blake, Mel
> Bochner, Cecily Brown, Chris Burden, Paul Chan, Jeremy Deller, Mark
> Dion, Sam Durant, Tony Feher, Andrea Fraser, Joseph Grigely, Hans
> Haacke, Ann Hamilton, Rachel Harrison, Emily Jacir, Mike Kelley, Mary
> Kelly, Barbara Kruger, William Pope L., Louise Lawler, Zoe Leonard,
> Sol LeWitt, Glenn Ligon, Sharon Lockhart, Brice Marden, Allan
> McCollum, Julie Mehretu, Arnold Mesches, Donald Moffett, Dave Muller,
> Vik Muniz, Takashi Murakami, Yoshitomo Nara, Cathy Opie, Ruben Ortiz
> Torres, Laura Owens, David Reed, Alexis Rockman, Martha Rosler,
> Christy Rupp, Carolee Schneemann, Richard Serra, Cindy Sherman, Amy
> Sillman, Lorna Simpson, Kiki Smith, Janaina Tschape, and many more.
