Gallerycrashing: Interventionist Art, Causes for Alarm and Excuses for Failure

The term gallerycrashing is a clumsy neologism I have coined to refer to the act of placing an unsolicited artwork in a private or public exhibition. Specialised circuits were constructed for the sole purpose of gallerycrashing and a family of objects called 'Spacehoggers' were gradually developed for proliferation around galleries. Read more >>

Who is responsible for the Metropolitan Police?

The killing of Jean Charles de Menezes raises fundamental questions as to who runs the Metropolitan Police Force and who is ultimately accountable for it: the Home Secretary, an MP from Norwich, or the people of London, who actually pay for it. To date their have been calls for Sir Ian Blair to resign, however less scrutiny has been given to those shadowy London politicians, who are appointed rather than elected to provide oversight of the Metropolitan Police.

21/7 suicide bombers had no bombs or desire to commit suicide

Bits of information in an arrest warrant show that the 21/7 bombs were, by design, not capable of damage. They are a mix of flour and hair gel! Only the detonators had explosives in. Probably as powerful as a french banger firework. Original article linked. Read more >>

As the white wash to cover up who killed Jean Charles de Menezes and why continues. According to the BBC a new account of the murder.

Our worst nightmares

Unbelievable... or prehaps not. Evidence revealed by ITV news confirms that police incompetence appears to have played a major role in their murder of Jean Charles, the Brazilian electrician shot dead on the tube. Worse still, it confirms that police repeatedly lied to excuse the fuck up.

Jean Charles was no identified leaving the building under 'surveliance' because the cop on duty was taking a piss. Then an order was made to stop Jean Charles but it was never carried out. Jean Charles took a bus unaware that his death warrent was soon to be signed by carelessness and miscommunication of the British police force. He entered the tube, walking, collected a free paper to read on the train, waved his oyster card over the sensor and passed trough the barriers like any other passenger. He proceeded down to the platform and ran for the train on the platform. Once on the train, he took his seat like everyone else, still unaware of his impending doom and the hand of the trained killers of the farce. He carried no bag and wore a thin blue denim jacket - nothing at all to cast any suspicion on him or justify his muder. Only at this stage did police identify themselves, as they shoot him dead in cold blood at poiny blank range.

Be afraid.. but be angry! Read more >>
