I'd like to say what a great and productive summer it has been. Now, it's time to shove off and digest all this delicious material we've collected over the last eight weeks. Thanks to everyone for making another summer enjoyable! I also wanted to mention a film by culture jammer Craig Baldwin that might be of interest to you, especially if you were in Gerard's class. The film is called Sonic Outlaws, and it was recently released on DVD. It talks about the group Negativeland and their suit with U2 (the Casey Kasem audio is gut-busting), amongst other topics like parody and copyright. I have yet to get through it all. Baldwin also has a unique directing and editying style. Enjoy!
On a last note, I encourage all students to keep lines of communication open during the independent times. Till next time, rock on and rock hard!

Lee, I concur, Baldwin is quite impressive and a down right okay guy.
I had the opportunity to meet Craig Baldwin when he previewed his Specters of the Spectrum at the Fugitive Art Center before he showed it at the 2000 Whitney Biennial. If you have a chance you can check out our space at

It was in the past shows in March 20, 2000
I had the opportunity to see him show Tribulation 99: Alien Anomalies Under America and The Arrival by Unarius and Sonic Outlaws. Good stuff!
Hope everyone is still thinking about and making art.
