Yes Men – Colleen Becker
“Halliburton Solves Global Warming.” While credited to “Halliburton Emergency Products Development,” a press release with a hook like this could only be the work of one organization—notorious prankster-activists The Yes Men. Give the document a quick once-over, and you’ll find all the attributes of a typical press release: it starts with a lengthy quotation from […]

The Birth of an Artistic Capital – Andrzej Lawn
Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real ‘wow, that’s big’ time. Infinity is just so big that by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we’re trying […]

Sex in an Elevator? – Colleen Becker

Speaking through five different characters—a professional hugger, an old woman, a pickpocket, a surfer and a photographer—Tran shifts identities and switches perspectives to take on one issue: the after-effect of sexual molestation. An autobiographical work, each of the […]
