Michael Brenson is coming out with a new book (September 2004). Table of content is here. I thought it might be relevant to some recent postings by tom moody and sally mckay (issues in criticism of voice, audience etc). But apologies if you have already posted(?).

Francis Fukuyama has a piece in The National Interest in response to the thinking of fellow neo-conservative Charles Krauthammer. It is a pay for view article, but has been copied in full into a comment thread at Matt Yglesias' blog (it's about the 10th comment or so.)

It's not so simple as Fukuyama switching sides, or turning against his neocon brethren, but still it's encouraging to me that there is debate and self criticism on that side of the fence. I don't agree with a lot of what he says, but I thought it was well worth the time to read.
question - i have an a/c that is leaking out the back and down the side of my building. is it likely leaking because the unit isnt level in the window or is it just a cheap piece of crap? i bought it last year so it isnt old.

This election season, Creative Time and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council invite you to vent, rage, recite poetry, or perform at the Freedom of Expression National Monument. This giant red megaphone mounted atop a flight of stairs, was originally created in 1984 by Laurie Hawkinson, John Malpede, and Erika Rothenberg for Creative Time's Art on the Beach. It is being represented to coincide with this years election season, and will be on view from August 17 through November 13 in downtown New York's Foley Square. The sculpture will give New Yorkers an opportunity to have a significant impact--both by supporting artistic voices and offering the public a platform for dialogue.

We are currently inviting artists of all disciplines to fulfill the work's provocative potential. The speakers and events will be scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays at lunchtime and 4:30pm throughout the fall. Please note, this artwork is open to the public, and we are able to offer promotion of the events on our website, but we cannot offer an honorarium.

Please contact production@creativetime.org if you have a performance that you would like considered for this project."
