  • Making history: support for Israeli artists who say NO to normalizing settlements
    7 September 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    When some 60 leading Israeli actors and playwrights signed a letter stating they would refuse to play in the new theatre in Ariel, one of Israel’s largest settlements, the attacks from Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel’s Minister of Culture and Sport and many others were swift and intense. Over 150 leading Israeli academics and writers-including Amos Oz and David Grossman- came to their defense. It was the first time such mainstream figures had drawn a line around normalizing settlements (…)

  • Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack tells William Parry why he is boycotting Israel

    The movement for a cultural boycott of Israel in response to its treatment of the Palestinians, modelled on the boycott of apartheid South Africa, could eclipse decades of disingenuous political charades in engaging western intellectuals, academics and artists. Internationally renowned figures such as Naomi Klein and Ken Loach have supported the call, and now one of Britain’s most successful bands, Massive Attack, is publicly backing the boycott.

  • Shock and Awe’t
    7 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    I went to school with a guy who became big in the art world, and that’s how he pronounced it: awe’t. He was from New York. He called himself Reggie in those days, but now he prefers Reginald, thinking it I suppose more befitting of his age and social status. I can understand that. I had an aunt that everybody called "Baby" until she died, in her late 70s, which must have been hard. But Aunt Baby didn’t die in a penthouse, in fact never lived in one, though she did once invest in a racehorse. (…)

  • Google Censors Sites, Words & Art. Google Censorship Threatens Rational Risk Management & World
    26 October 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    The scientific method involves a successive process of getting accurate data; setting up and critically testing potentially falsifiable hypotheses (models) of reality; and then refining our models of reality based on this experimentation. Of course lying, denial, rubbing out, fudging, or otherwise censoring the data utterly de-rails the scientifc process and that is why there is zero tolerance for lying in Science.
    Indeed, in a recent article entitled ““Swan Lake” Painting. Fear, Greed, (…)

    By David R. Hoffman
    From the beginning he was destined to become an “American Rebel.” Even his name presaged this reality. Dean, his first name, was the last name of the actor James, who became a cultural icon after his 1955 appearance in the movie Rebel Without a Cause. Unfortunately that same year, just as this twenty-four-year-old actor was beginning to enjoy his fame, he died in a car crash.
    His last name was Reed, shared with the radical journalist John, an eyewitness to the (…)
