To mark the presidential elections, on 29 February the group War staged a "mass fuck" entitled Fuck for the Teddy-Bear Heir in the Biological Museum in Moscow. via IZO:

Agent Provocateur's latest affair is a pair of Guantánamo orange knickers emblazoned with the message “Fair Trial My Arse.”

Conceived after consultation with Reprieve, the legal charity that represents dozens of Guantánamo detainees, the project arose after the farcical Case of the Contraband Underpants last August, when Clive Stafford Smith and Zachary Katznelson of Reprieve were accused of smuggling underwear into Guantánamo for two of their clients, Mohammed El-Gharani, a Saudi resident and Chadian national, who was just 15 years old when he was picked up in a random raid on a mosque in Pakistan, and British resident Shaker Aamer, a long-term hunger striker, who has been held in solitary confinement at Guantánamo for two and a half years.

Clive Stafford Smith explains: “Along with our allies at the lingerie designers Agent Provocateur, we developed a line of intimate apparel in Guantánamo orange, with “Fair Trial My Arse” emblazoned across the derrière … [W]e suspect that Gordon Brown’s popularity will soar after he tries on his Valentine’s Day present from Reprieve: his own pair of Fair Trial My Arse pants, discreetly delivered to No 10 …

“Of course, bad taste aside, Fair Trial My Arse bears a serious message, particularly given this past week’s announcement that the US military plans death-penalty trials in Guantánamo Bay. The main objections to tribunals have been well summarised by Colonel Morris Davis, the former chief military prosecutor. In October, he resigned from his post making three allegations: that the politicians had taken over the process with little concern for fairness, that evidence extracted under duress would be admissible, and that there would still be secret proceedings."

I recently saw pictures of sexy women sporting a full bush. I first thought that there were images of some mutant species, until i realized that the pics had been taken in the '70s, that it was all very normal and that the project described below made so much sense:

The Rebellion Collaboration is an anti-aesthetic commentary on the modern pre-pubescent body standard; as women we remember when adult genetalia was identified by hair and as artists we remember when everybody took themselves less seriously.
All images were created using minimal Photoshop techniques and real hair. Full series to be released by Rachel Rebibo and Julia Floch Carbonel on December 1, 2007.

A couple of days ago, Italian activist and writer Tatiana Bazichelli was at City of Women, a festival running until October 13 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Tatiana gave a presentation of CUM2CUT, the Indie-Porn-Short-Movies-Festival that she organizes and curates together with and Gaia Novati in Berlin.

Participants are invited to a four day (October 20 to 24) marathon to release a short porn film, which will be shown during the Berlin Porn Film Festival. The idea is to apply DIY inside the world of pornography, and thus outside the usual power structures of porn. To reappropriate the genre.

Cum2cut is totally free and open. There are just a few rules. First, the videos produced must be licensed under the Creative Commons. Then some requirements: a "@" symbol has to be shown; the Berlin city map has to be shown; the sound of a slap has to be heard; and the sentence "I used to have such a good imagination" has to be said.

During the opening party on October 20, a category-lottery will decide which will be your porn genre, i.e. splatter porn, gothic porn, silent porn, western porn, superhero, dadaistic porn, futuristic porn, horror porn, new wave porn, etc.

This year CUM2CUT features also a Pr0n competition for people who cannot come to Berlin as they can upload the video in remote on the CUM2CUT server. Participants have to deal with pornography using media or creating digital codes or any other video projects.

Like the Porn Competition, the Pr0n marathon is 4 days long. You can choose to participate from 20 September to 20 October, registering yourself on the Pr0n form.
