'THIS IS CAMP X-RAY'
http://www.uhc-collective.org.uk/exhibitions/cross_the_line/jairedman.htm
A new art installation consisting of a fully operational, life-size
replica of the U.S internment camp at Guantanamo Bay. It is currently
being constructed in the city of Manchester and will be operational from
Friday 10th October 2003.
For 9 days at the beginning of October artist Jai Redman, in collaboration
with the political art group UHC collective, intends to create a fully
functioning internment camp in the centre of Manchester, UK.
The installation piece will aim to replicate part of the Camp X-Ray
facility in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, currently home to America's captured
Al Qaeda suspects and arrested 'unlawful combatants' from Afghanistan and
Iraq.
It will be built, and maintained using only mainstream media images as its
source. It is the artist's intention to keep nine volunteer 'unlawful
combatants' incarcerated in the Manchester camp for nine full days and
nights, under 24 surveillance and 'armed' guard.
WE ARE ALL IN CAMP X-RAY - TURN YOURSELF IN!

In order to realise this ambitious project, UHC are releasing this call
for you to get involved. There are 14 vacancies to be filled in the camp -
5 guards and 9 prisoners. If you think you could be one of those people
get in touch.
WE NEED MONEY/HELP

Concentration camps aren't cheap and they don't build themselves. A full
'wish list' of materials and props is also available via the above
website. Any assistance with securing materials or loaning equipment
would be very gratefully received and can be credited.
