> following evening. We are currently exploring options as to the type
> of bus and would like to gauge how many people will be traveling from
> the NYC
> area. The cost could run anywhere from $45 - $70 each based on the
> amount of travelers. If you are interested please contact us ASAP as
> reservations must be made soon.
>
> Please pass this request on to your mailing lists as we'd like to
> bring as many people as possible up to Buffalo.

> On May 30, members of the performance art collective Critical Art
> Ensemble were subpoenaed by the FBI. The FBI is planning to indict
> Steve Kurtz, a
> member of CAE before a grand jury on June 15, on unknown charges. CAE
> is under investigation for their use of scientific equipment to
> produce art
> projects that question the relationship between commerce, politics and
> biotechnology. Critical Art Ensemble have been producing performances
> and
> theory that merge political realities with technology and theater
> since 1987. Thus far six subpoenas have been issued to: Adele
> Henderson, Chair of
> the Art Department at UB; Andrew Johnson, Professor of Art at UB; Paul
> Vanouse, Professor of Art at UB; Beatriz da Costa, Professor of Art at
> UCI;
> Steven Barnes, FSU; and Dorian Burr.
