[Nettime-bold] New publication: BORDER CROSSING SERVICES |
From: "Oliver Ressler" <oliver.ressler@chello.at> Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2002 7:47 AM Subject: New publication: BORDER CROSSING SERVICES Oliver Ressler, Martin Krenn, "Dienstleistung: Fluchthilfe/Border Crossing Services", Edition Selene, 52 p., ger./engl., ISBN: 3-85266-186-2, 2002, EURO 8,00.- with contributions by Gerald Raunig, Carsten Does, etc. The European Union member states' restrictive immigration regulations mean that there is almost no chance to legally migrate to the EU and reside in a member state. For those who want to enter, making use of border crossing services is often the only possibility for penetrating "Fortress Europe." The publication documents and discusses the project "Border Crossing Services" by the artists Martin Krenn and Oliver Ressler, which was realized in form of an exhibition in the "Kunstraum Lüneburg", a video, and a direct mailing with the title "Neues Grenzblatt" (New Border Paper) in the Austrian/Slovenian border region in 2001. The goal of the project "Border Crossing Services" is to redefine and highlight the positive aspects of terms such as "smuggler" or "trafficker" which have been given a negative connotation through the dominant medial discourse. The publication includes a copy of the "Neues Grenzblatt" which was realized in cooperation with anti-racist groups and migrant organizations.
