(SAN FRANCISCO – October 15-18, 2009) – POW! POW! ACTION Art festival 2009 is a 4 evening festival of new ACTION art works that will take place on Thursday October 15th, Friday October 16th, Saturday October 17th, and Sunday October 18th. Co-curated and produced by Alyssa Lee of group A and gal*in_dog AKA Guillermo Galindo, POW! POW! displays “cutting-edgy” work of performers and artists from the Bay Area, New York, Seattle, Philadelphia, Hawaii, Los Angeles, Canada, and Germany.

” The ultimate artists response to the economic melt down…A tax payer/GOP friendly festival. Not one penny of tax money ever used to produce it”. –POW! POW! Translation = ” Real freedom of expression. No strings attached.”
One of the few uncensored festivals in the US, POW! POW! is presented as a response to the ways in which the art scene is managed in the Bay Area and the United States and to the bailout of “too big to fail” arts organizations. Artists have been forced to follow certain aesthetics in order to have their work presented in a gallery or a festival and obligated to create a specific type of work that follows the fiscal sponsor’s agenda. Thus, the sponsor gets either to censor the artist or to adapt the art to fit the organization’s specific agenda. The curators of POW! POW! devised a festival where the artist is encouraged to present work without restrictions.
The previous year’s festival, POW! 2008 mini performance art festival was a huge success, generating excitement for performance art and for uncensored expression from artists. This year’s POW! POW! has quadrupled in size and will be even more shocking!
Among many outrageous artists, POW! POW! 2009 will feature daring and controversial performers such as Frank Moore, Keith Hennessey, Michael Namkung, and many others. The content of these shameless pieces are all over the map, ranging from works about volcanic eruptions, underwater explorations of performative hygiene, photographs of souls, wearable art pieces, first dates, electro-mechanical soft sculptures, absurdist hip hop performances, art critiques, interactive video installations, Japanese-American Internment camps, and the ironic and sometimes brutal ideals we teach our children that we consider acceptable.

Re: important comp ticket policy

October 13, 2009 / / 0 Comments
hi artists:

this is a very important message about the ticket/comp policy for POW! POW!. we have had to change what we originally listed in the artist agreement.

here’s what the artist agreement originally stated:
Each artist in the festival will receive 2 comp tickets total. The tickets can be used for any night. If there is more than 1 artist per group, the entire group will receive 2 tickets. Every participating artist will also receive free admission to each night of the festival.

this is the revision:
Each artist in the festival will receive 2 comp tickets total. The tickets can be used for any night. If there is more than 1 artist per group, the entire group will receive 2 tickets.
we are very, very sorry we have to change this, but we have been told that we have a limit of ONLY 49 people allowed in the climate theater per night. if we allow every participating artist – which totals over 30 people – into each night of POW! POW! for free, there will no room for any other audience…it will be all of POW! POW! watching all of POW! POW!. this is awesome, but…we want the world to see our work, right?! 🙂
so, here’s what we need from you:
NAME(S) OF WHO IS IN YOUR PIECE AND WHICH NIGHT YOU ARE PERFORMING

NAMES OF PEOPLE + NIGHTS WHO YOU WILL BE USING YOUR 2 COMP TICKETS.
also – please note that there was typo on our press release – the 4 day pass for the festival is $40, not $30. please change as necessary.

thanks!
alyssa lee + gal*in_dog

Rein in Government Spying and Reform the USA PATRIOT Act

October 12, 2009 / / 0 Comments

Dear Friend of Freedom:

As Congress begins to consider renewing sections of the USA PATRIOT Act that are set to expire at the end of the year, we have a unique opportunity to press for new civil liberties protections to shield ordinary Americans against government spying.

Last week, ten US Senators introduced the perfect vehicle for reform of the surveillance powers in the PATRIOT Act, as well as the much broader and more dangerous FISA Amendments Act (FAA), the warrantless surveillance law that was passed by Congress last summer.

Click on this URL to take action:

The new bill, called the JUSTICE Act, would add essential new checks and balances to a broad range of surveillance powers. In particular, it would reform the notorious National Security Letter power that allows the FBI, without court supervision, to secretly demand that companies hand over your private phone and Internet records.

Even more important, the JUSTICE Act would add strong new privacy protections to the FAA, which vastly expanded the government’s authority to sweep up Americans’ phone calls and emails without probable cause or meaningful court review.

The JUSTICE Act would also repeal the immunity for telecommunications companies that illegally assisted in the NSA’s warrantless wiretapping program. This would restore the rule of law and allow EFF’s suit against AT&T to continue so that the courts can do their job and rule on the legality of the surveillance.

This is our first real shot at meaningful surveillance reform in a long time, but things are moving very quickly. The Senate Judiciary Committee is planning to consider PATRIOT renewal this week. It’s crucial that the bill that the committee sends to the Senate floor contains as many of the JUSTICE Act’s reforms as possible.

It’s time to fix PATRIOT once and for all, and now is our chance. Please contact your senators today and ask them to co-sponsor and support the JUSTICE Act.
