Bottom-Line Esthetics/Dire Diary
No, not my title, unfortunately. Check out the article "Dire Diary" on artnet.
It isn't really new news, but I am interested to read what you think. Actually, I would be more interested to hear how these issues impact your work, if at all. (The article is about the Artforum blog, but departs from the blog to talk about the state of the art world.)

This Week at the Hammer
Ah...so many lectures, so little studio time...
Wednesday 27th 7pm: Bernadette Corporation
A screening of Get Rid of Yourself (2003), an original film by the Bernadette Corporation, followed by a discussion with group members.
Filmed during the riots at the 2001 G8 counter-summit in Genoa, Italy, Get Rid of Yourself is an experimental propagandistic film about the return of political activism. Illustrating new forms of protest emerging within the anti-globalization movement, the work aligns itself with the anarchist Black Bloc in order to explore themes of anonymous community. Screened throughout Europe, Get Rid of Yourself features performances by Stephan Dillemuth and Chloë Sevigny.
Following its inception in a Manhattan nightclub in 1994, Bernadette Corporation began organizing DIY social events that evolved into unauthorized art carnivals in SoHo parking lots, group painting and fashion events on public access television. Other recent works include a fashion label, the magazine Made in the USA, the film Hell Frozen Over,(2000), and the collective novel, Reena Spaulings, which was published in 2004. Everyone who's anyone will be there.
