1. about the book

Published by the Journal of Aesthetics & Protest Press
Edited by Nicole Antebi, Colin Dickey, and Robby Herbst
www.joaap.org/failure.htm

An odd wonderful book, the first from the Journal of Aesthetics &
Protest
Press. This collection of essays and interviews looks squarely at the
implications of the perceived personal, public and ideological wreckages
that ceaselessly pile up, hurl at our feet and choke our wings (to
paraphrase Walter Benjamin).

Contents include a look at the afterlife of Valerie Solanas and her Scum
Manifesto, an exploration of the Digger inspired Morningstar Commune in
Northern California which was deeded to God, a look at the monuments
that
remember forgotten mine wars in Southern Illinois, a consideration of
the
finality of death and its implication for AIDS activism, and a series of
interviews with contemporary artists.

Contributors include: Catherine Lord, Doug Harvey, Sam Green, Sam
Durant,
Yoshua Okon, Eduardo Abaroa, William Pope.L, Temporary Services, Assume
Vivid Astro Focus, Catherine Hollander, Zoe Trodd, David Schafer,
Richard
Dedomenici, Alex Juhasz, Sarah Kanouse, Lisa Anne Auerbach, Sarah
Lewison,
John Conley, and Tommy Williford.

2. about the journal press

The journal press is our new "publishing venture."

We are still a very broke rag-tag collective purposely without 501-C3
status.

We thought that publishing and helping to distribute interesting,
independently created projects might further our mission.
Have any ideas to pitch to us? Pitch away.

13 Most Beautiful Avatars

.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 17 - March 17, 2007
EVA and FRANCO MATTES (a.k.a. 0100101110101101.ORG)
"13 Most Beautiful Avatars"
Postmasters Gallery, New York
Opening reception: Saturday February 17, 6-8 p-m

Postmasters Gallery is pleased to present "13 Most Beautiful
Avatars," a portrait series from Second Life by EVA and FRANCO MATTES
(a.k.a. 0100101110101101.ORG), for their second solo show at the
gallery.

The Matteses have been living in the virtual world, Second Life, for
over a year, exploring its terrain and interacting with its peculiar
inhabitants. The result of their "video-game flanerie" is a series of
portraits, entitled "13 Most Beautiful Avatars." Not unlike Warhol's
entourage of stars, captured in the "13 Most Beautiful Boys" and "13
Most Beautiful Women" portrait series, the Matteses' "13 Most
Beautiful Avatars" captures the most visually dynamic and celebrated
"stars" of Second Life.

The portraits reflect Second Life aesthetics, featuring the bright
colors, "artificial" light, broad flat areas, 3D shapes, and surreal
perspectives that are typical of this virtual world. Overall, the
series draws on the technological developments which allow the
creation of alternate identities within simulated worlds. Despite the
relative newness of using video game-derived source materials, the
avatars' icons recall questions common to earlier eras of
portraiture, including the cultural and psychological context of the
images, and the relationships between high art and subculture,
between contemporary art and "traditional" art forms, and between art
and life itself.

The project was created during the artists' stay at The Italian
Academy for Advanced Studies at Columbia University. The Matteses are
the recipients of 2006 New York Prize for most promising young
Italian Artists.
A portfolio of prints produced by Jean-Yves Noblet Contemporary
Prints will also be available.

Born in 1976, Eva and Franco Mattes, (a.k.a. 0100101110101101.ORG)
have been pioneers in the net.art movement remixing famous digital
art pieces and performing Life Sharing: a real-time digital self
portrait, during which they even submitted to satellite surveillance
for an entire year. In the last decade they have created
unpredictable mass-scale performances staged outside the traditional
art venues and involving an unaware audience, where truth and
falsehood mix to the point of being indistinguishable. They created
and released the code for a computer virus, erected fake
architectural heritage signs, run media campaigns for non-existent
action movies (United We Stand), and even convinced the entire
populace of Vienna that Nike had purchased the city's historic
Karlsplatz and was about to rename it "Nikeplatz". Their
controversial performances, often bordering on illegality, have been
widely discussed in the media earning them the name "Bonnie and Clyde
of Contemporary Art". Their works have been shown internationally
including: Collection Lambert, Avignon; Fondazione Pitti Discovery,
Florence; Lentos Museum of Modern Art, Linz; New Museum of
Contemporary Art, New York; ICC, Tokyo; Manifesta 4, Frankfurt;
Galleria Civica di Arte Contemporanea, Trento and the Venice Biennale.

Give people a hug

I've not gone soft this is important stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4

free-hugs
As the "free hug" campaign started to spread, the city council tried
to ban it, even attempting to impose a huge liability insurance
requirement on him for offering free hugs in public. So Mann and his
friends mounted a petition campaign, and after presenting more than
10,000 to the city council, the calls for a ban died away.

call for participation version>07 chicago

Greetings humans.

Please spread the word far and wide::

It's that time of the year again. And we want to make sure that everyone knows that they can submit to version>07, Chicago's contribution to the global war on terror.

Version07 call for participation.
Deadline March 7, 2007.

An unconventional network of creators, workers, musicians, organizations,
artists, activists, producers and organizers are collectively waging asymmetrical warfare on the established systems of control in our cultural, political and art worlds.

The Insurrection Internationale is a moment. It is a point of confluence between various networks and subcultures that believe in the solidarity of our multitudes. Together we are waging a revolt against established systems and authority to create new worlds to inhabit. We are creating alternate realities, independent economies, developing alliances and infrastructures to support our beliefs. We are engaging in a culture war against the establishments in all their guises.

This year Version will explore the various networks undermining the forces of stagnation, decay and business as usual. Individuals and groups involved in creating alternative modes of operations, communications and networks of cooperation are invited to our annual convergence this spring to discover the plausible worlds we can create together.

"This is the final struggle/Let us join together and tomorrow/The International/Will be the human race"

Version is a massive DIY festival with many components. Choose your own adventure.

To submit a project to Version07 we ask you to select a category or platform
And look at our call for participation site:
