X-Status:

Jayce Salloum's exhibition dealing with the
representation of the Middle East in the West, etc:
(Kan ya ma Kan) / There was and there was not

is currently at the

National Gallery of Canada,
380 Promenade Sussex Drive, Ottawa
upstairs in the Contemporary Canadian Art section,
info: (613) 990-1985 (as part of the Fragile Electrons exhibition)
Free to the public.

The exhibition continues until June 6, 1998

This installation, serves to examine the representation of 'Lebanon', and
its history as constructed in our collective and individual psyches.
Lebanon has been used as a metaphor, as a 'site' serving the real and
imaginary for various 'visitors' throughout its history.  It has been a
ground for continuous claims, discursive texts and acts of re-construction.
It has become an adjective for the nostalgia of our past and the fears of
the future.
We have come to understand so very little in spite of the massive amounts
of information we have received regarding Lebanon, that for one to even
mention the name all sorts of images come to mind.

The installation is a transposition of a working studio and found archive,
presenting the 'resources' and artifacts necessary to re-construct an
understanding of the mediated  process inherent in the definition and
perception of a culture.  Here the viewer is part of that process,  being
forced to make decisions and to take responsibility for re-constructing
their own cultural perceptions.  The installation is set up as a pseudo
scientific research lab/studio paralleling/exposing my own
productions/projects in Lebanon and challenging the immense history of the
production of knowledge of Lebanon and the Middle East.  Incorporating
objects collected in Lebanon, archival materials, documents, maps,
photographs, light boxes and videotape loops, the installation calls into
question our notions of history and research methodology, their role in the
effacement of histories, and the layers involved in
depiction/representation and understanding  of another culture.

(Kan ya ma Kan) / There was and there was not,  has been shown at American
Fine Arts-New York, New Langton Arts-San Francisco, Kunstlerhaus Bethanien-
Berlin, the Shedhalle-Zurich, Update ‘96-Copenhagen, Optica
Gallery-Montréal, Western Front-Vancouver and YYZ Artists' Outlet-Toronto.

1998 Leonardo Award for Excellence to Eduardo Kac
--------------------------------------------------------------

The Leonardo Award for Excellence is awarded annually
to a Leonardo author for an article(s) describing work
judged to be excellent in the field of art/science and
technology. Previous award winners have included
Rudolf Arnheim and Otto Piene.

The award consists of a citation, an honorarium,
and a press release and public announcement.

The awardee is selected by the editorial staff of Leonardo.
This year the staff in both the San Francisco and Paris offices
were polled and a concensus for this award emerged easily.

In making this award, we would like to cite two areas
judged to be outstanding in the work of Eduardo Kac:

Eduardo Kac is best known as a telepresence artist, but has
also innovated in a number of new media including holography,
robotics and visual poetry. His work can be seen here:
http://www.ekac.org. He has described his work in Leonardo
in articles including:

"Ornitorrinco and Rara Avis: Telepresence Art on the Internet"
published in Leonardo Volume 29 No 5, pp. 389-400, 1996.

Leonardo/ISAST would also like to cite in this award excellence
for services to the field. Since 1996 Eduardo Kac has been
Leonardo Guest Editor for the project "Radical Intervention:
The Brazilian Contribution to the International Electronic Art
Movement ". This project is a combined Web based and print
publication and gallery project. It  features articles by and about
pionering Brazilian artists whose work has helped lay the foundation
and develop the emerging field of new media arts. Kac's work in
soliciting, arranging for translations, editing manuscripts, and
working with the authors and artists has helped bring the
subtantial contribution of Brazilian artists to the electronic
art movement to the attention of the international audience.

The Radical Intervention Web site can be found at:

Subject: GLOBAL STREET PARTY


Press release: from reclaim the Streets - for immediate use

THOUSANDS TO GYRATE NOT G8 AT THE GLOBAL STREET PARTY - BIRMINGHAM MAY 16TH
1998!

On May 16th, as leaders of the most industrialised nation-states in the
world  meet at the G8 summit in Birmingham before flying to Geneva,(1)  tens
of thousands of people will join the Global Street Party - simultaneously
transforming the privatised, polluted streets of 33 cities in 21 countries
(and counting!) into places of celebration and empowerment: a true global
commons.(2)

In Birmingham, after the partygoers  rendezvous at Birmingham New Street
Station 4pm on May 16th, roads will be blockaded, sound systems installed
and lampposts, tarmac, railings and walls decorated in a  mass occupation
and transformation of an undisclosed location. Joining the call for Global
Ecology not Global Economy(3)  and offering an alternative ‘transnational’
dream of a future where cooperation not competition is the common currency,
the streets of Birmingham will be reclaimed with performance, art, music,
dancing and games to laugh in the face of the G8 under banners reading ‘G8
My Planet’, ‘Gyrate Not G8’, and ‘Reclaim the Streets’ in over 50 languages.
And, as 100’s of clowns help give the event a mischievous edge, it’s
anybody’s guess which of the world leaders, their governments and corporate
cronies will end the day with a pie in the face!

The Global Street Party was called by the direct action group Reclaim The
Streets (RTS)(4) . An RTS activist said:
‘Cars, roads, pollution, surveillance and the like didn’t just spring from
nowhere but are results of a political and economic system.  That system is
going global:  the resistance, if it is to be effective, must also be
global….The streets could be the forums for the direct control of
>coordinated communities by the people who live in them. Instead we are told
we need a ‘globalisation’ involving the  further concentration of power in
elite’s like the G8 and the W.T.O. This is so seriously unfunny we just have
to laugh!

For further details contact Reclaim the Streets on:
Phone: 0171 281 4621 e-mail: <rts@gn.apc.org> web:
http://www.hrc.wmin.ac.uk/campaigns/rts.html
Notes for editors:
1.   World leaders (and/or their emissaries) fly to Geneva on May 17th to
commemorate the 50th anniversary of GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade), and to applaud the success of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) its
younger, more rapacious ally. They may even chat about the latest takeover
scheme: the Multilateral Agreement on Investments (MAI), designed to let
global business override local environmental and social concerns in the
interests of economic progress.

2.  Here’s the Global Street Party list as it stands at the moment: Bogota
(Columbia), Berlin, Bielefeld, Thuringen (Germany), Lyon (France),
Birmingham (U.K.), Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne (Australia), Tel Aviv
(Israel), Geneva (Switzerland), Turku (Finland), Madrid  (Spain), Ankara,
Istanbul (Turkey),  Gothenburg, Stockholm (Sweden), Dublin, Derry (Ireland),
Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Berkeley (U.S.), Prague (Czech Republic),
Olympia, Toronto, Vancouver (Canada), Athens (Greece), Luxembourg
(Luxemburg), Ljubljana (Slovenia), Bratislava (Slovakia),Utrecht (Holland),
Turin (Italy).

3.   The Global Street Party is one of many actions happening under the
banner of Peoples’ Global Action (PGA).  PGA which was founded at an
international conference in February in Geneva attended by more than 300
delegates from 71 countries to discuss joint actions against World Trade
Organization (WTO), “free” trade and corporate rule.  Actions include a
Peoples’ Trade Day in Geneva on May 18th and 3 days of action, information
sessions and demonstrations in several Canadian cities also starting May
18th.  Planning is underway for a massive demonstration in Dhaka, the
capital of Bangladesh, by Garment Workers Unity Forum against WTO, World
Bank and IMF, a “No Trade Day” in the USA, and a Speakers’ Tour in
Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka to raise awareness about the role of the
WTO.

 4.  Reclaim the Streets (RTS) is a decentralised direct action network
seeking the rediscovery and liberation of the city streets and public
spaces. It first became active in 1992, became absorbed in anti-roads
protests and was revived in early 1995. It came to widespread public
attention with the blockading and occupation of Camden High street, London
on May 16th ‘95, a street party with free music, food and clean air replaced
the usual traffic and pollution and public space was reclaimed for the day.
Since then there have been parties in Islington (London), 10,000 people on
the M41 motorway in west London in July 1996, 25,000 on the 1997’s March for
Social Justice/Street Party in Trafalgar Square (with the Liverpool
Dockers), as well as over 30 parties all over the country (including
Sheffield, Oxford, Brighton, Bristol, Cambridge etc) and increasingly
worldwide (including Sydney, Tel Aviv,  Vancouver & Amsterdam).

Gorilla bored quickly by Internet chat with humans

 By REUTERS  San Francisco - Koko the 300-pound gorilla logged on to the
Internet on Monday - and clearly was not impressed.

During what was billed as the world's first "interspecies" on-line chat,
Koko was far more interested in her toy alligator and dreams of dinner than
in answering a barrage of questions from thousands of eager humans.

"I like drinks," Koko said, in one of her more lucid comments during the
45-minute dialogue.

"Apple drink."

Koko's foray into the high-technology world of Internet chatrooms was
sponsored by America Online and Envirolink, which together with the Gorilla
Foundation near San Francisco set up the event to publicize the plight of
the world's great apes.

Lowland gorillas like Koko are threatened by logging and poaching in their
native habitats in Central Africa, while their cousins, the mountain
gorillas, number now fewer than 500 in the wild.

Koko, who is 26, was seen as the obvious on-line ambassador for her species.
Raised and trained near San Francisco, she has studied modified American
Sign Language for 25 years and is now said to understand some 2,000 words of
spoken English.

Unfortunately, few of these were put into play during Monday's discussion.

"Lips," Koko said, using her codeword for woman.

"Koko loves lips."

Dr. Francine Patterson, Koko's tutor and translator, said Koko's relative IQ
is about 86 and she reacts to many situations much like a human child. She
dismissed one question about a fellow gorilla with the pithy "toilet" -
which Patterson said is her word for "bad."

Koko's laconic approach to the Internet was frustrating for the human
chatters, who peppered her with questions ranging from her opinions on
Darwinian Theory to her views on the new movie version of King Kong.

She did manage one shocker - demanding "food and smokes" for her birthday -
but Patterson said Koko is tobacco-free and was really asking for her former
pet, a kitten named Smokey.

Kevin Connelly, a spokesman for the Gorilla Foundation, said the cyberchat
went as well as could be expected and Koko had actually been cut off at
times because the human entering her responses could not type fast enough.

"She was responding to stuff longer than was typed in. The interface was a
problem," Connelly said, adding the event had been filmed and a more
complete transcript of Koko's remarks will be made available.

 He said that initial estimates indicated as many as 20,000 people logged on
to talk to Koko and the session was a success.

"Koko seemed responsive and chatty," Connelly said.
