New York Art Book Fair

Paper Tiger, Deep Dish TV and the Glassbead Collective installed an exhibit at the New York Art Book Fair, which was organized by Printed Matter.

The Art of Resistance from the Deep Dish "Shocking and Awful" series was projected.

The tapes presented included Donna Haraway Reads National Geography of Primates, Modern Art/Ancient Wages (about the MoMA strike of 2000) by Labor at the Crossroads (see below post), Glassbeads images from the Republican Convention in Saint Paul and other demonstrations.  There were also images of the PS1 Cement Wall and shots of the wall in Israel/Palestine shot by Jane Toby.

Clips from Dario's Film on YouTube

When we were working on Shocking and Awful, my neighbor, poet Jeanine Vega, said she had an Italian friend who had given her a film he put together from images that he and others had shot in Iraq, before and during the invasion in 2003. He had tried to get it shown in the US, to no avail. I said, well it sounds like something we could include in the Shocking and Awful series. Dario Bellini sent it and it is the last of the 12 part series. Elvira posted a section of it on YouTube and it has had 11,900 viewers and generated a great deal of emotional response. You can see the comments on the YouTube site.
