Art / Culture

You could tell right away, just walking up to the Target Center for the highly anticipated Rage Against the Machine show, that the cops expected trouble.

You could tell, by the way they lined up around the entire building in full riot gear and wooden sticks, while the fans were going INSIDE the center for the show they paid $80 to go see. (Seriously? They're going to riot BEFORE getting their money's worth?).

I wanted to write and let you know about the Pulitzers upcoming outdoor exhibition in Grand Center - The Light Project. The exhibition includes four different outdoor light-based installations through collaborations with the Contemporary, Saint Louis Art Museum, and White Flag Projects.

"THE COLLAPSE OF THE ST. LOUIS SCHOOL SYSTEM"

"A MICROCOSM OF THE FAILURE OF AMERICA"

third side is a map of St. Louis

and on the fourth side, in restroom graffiti style:

"CHAIN YOUR MAYOR TO A PIPE IN YOUR BASEMENT"

"BEAT HIM TIL HE SINGS"

"IT'S YOUR FAULT TOO"

As this is an uncommisioned gift to the city of St. Louis, I doubt it will be there for very long. If you wish to view it, please feel free to pass by. I would guess that someone will damage and/or remove it within the next day or two.

For the past six years, "Bread & Roses" has served as an annual celebration
of the arts in political action and in the lives of workers. This year, Jobs
with Justice is seeking film submissions for the annual exhibition. "Bread
& Roses" was named for the labor hymn which reminds us, "Hearts starve as
well as bodies". This year's theme is "Condition Critical: Health Care in
America." The Films MUST reflect the thematic concept of health care.

Global civil unrest over skyrocketing food prices gives us an unpleasant glimpse at what human nature can do.

Watching civil unrest and riots spread

Tim Brown

Watching civil unrest and riots spreading nation to nation like a communicable disease raises some important questions. We do ourselves no favors by ignoring them.
