hi you all,

well .. it is political incorrect ( on this list ? )

)

to have to maintain political correctness all the time is a form of 
censorship as well

think it's good to have this discussion, especially as the attack comes 
quite surprising from frederic's side

as this is related to Fibreculture, I would agree
)
it is, as far as I am informed, one of the lovely projects of G. Lovink to 
spread moderated mailing lists on the world, which also spread his opinion 
on media art .. this aside ..


there was at least one sentence which I found quite revealing
about staying in 'theatre' places

actually frederic ? what are you up to ?
some suspect on my side

do you think being unsubscribed has become a fashion for 'radical' artists ?
hm ... because it's happening more and more often actually ...
could also be a fashion in the curator world. to put art more and more into 
defined places. no ?

you experienced the same mess on other lists. Curators inviting artists and 
then complaining about that they act like artists.

a provocation ?

>>why would anyone care about being labeled art on the internet ?


oops, I guess, here we are at the point what this discussion is really about

to play in the theatre ?
curators are interested in the art label ? aren't they ?

now, there is this White Cube subject again.
is it good to play in the White Cube ?
necessary ?
