The Benefit:
"Biofeedback: Give Me Back My Lab and My Freedom of Speech!" is an
energetic round-up of musicians, entertainers and visual artists who are
creating loud and clear feedback in support of Steve Kurtz and the Critical
Art Ensemble (CAE). This benefit will help raise money for Kurtz's legal
fees in a case of FBI harassment and silencing dissent. To date, the CAE
Defense Fund has raised an impressive $30,000, but projected costs are
estimated at $150,000. There is still hope that the court will realize the
absurdity of the case and dismiss Kurtz of charges in December; if this
does happen, the fund will be used to help others who may find themselves
in a similar unfortunate position of political scrutiny.
