Imakenzi: No doubt there is some very dark stuff going on these days about art and the culture wars back in the US. Maybe the case of an art professor who was arrested on a "bioterrorisim" charge that turned into a quite unrelated pettty matter that is still being pursused as a felony will interest some of you. See the Critical Art Ensemble website http://www.caedefensefund.org/ This guy was preparing an art construction critical of biotech and it involved some pieces of lab equipt. Well, if you are interested read the details yourself. The point is that the folks just might not be crazy who suspect that the reason that the government is spending so much of our tax money to prosecute the guy is that they want to intimidate artists from challenging administration values and goals. Maybe it was even a test case to start out with, and then when that fell through they did not want to let up. I don't know, of course. But this is certainly one to watch.
