http://glasstire.com/2015/10/26/debtfair-is-all-about-art-and-heres-why/ We couldn’t help but respond to Rainey Knudson’s recent op ed about Debtfair because she describes a project that we would not want to participate in. We see a different Debtfair—one in which art and artists play a powerful role in articulating the scope of the debt crisis, and illuminating possible ways out of it.

http://www.guernicamag.com/daily/kirsten-oregan-agora-phobia/By Kirsten O’ReganIn ancient Athens, the agora functioned as market, civic center, and meeting-place; a large, open space ringed by temples, shops, libraries, theatres, and administrative buildings, it was a buzzing communal hub and a locus of financial and political exchange. Supporting social networks and the free trade of goods, services, and ideas, the agora enabled public speech and was thus central to the establishment of democracy.

Haters dubbed the Occupy Wall Street movement as a bunch of bongo-playing, hand-rolled cigarette- smoking hippies. A year after the movement kick started, RT’s Anastasia Churkina takes a deeper dive into the lives of a couple of active members of the movement, looking at the talents they bring to the table and the shift of the movement itself to a strategy-based campaign.
2012Russia Today, an international media station funded by the Russian Government, was the first TV on the scene on September 17th where I interviewed as FDR coin. Here they are following up on directions in the movement through three activists deeply involved in OWS. They filmed me in the studio working on a student debt currency project. This was right before Hurricane Sandy, and they managed to capture the re-energization of the movement in the last few weeks.
2012(CNN) — In 2011, as the world marked 10 years since 9/11, we asked artists around the globe to illustrate the ripple effects of the terrorist attacks. The result was “9/11 Ripple,” CNN’s first digital art gallery.With the 2012 elections approaching, we again wanted to include artists in our coverage of a major news event.

Last weekend, the luxury contemporary art fair called “Frieze” arrived on Randall’s Island in New York via London. Frieze is a highly exclusive affair where a selected group of international taste-making galleries sell their wares to the wealthiest people in the world, many of whom were intimately connected to the credit crisis and are now busy shopping for art objects, private jets, and fourth or fifth houses as people in their respective countries suffer foreclosures, unemployment and austerity measures.

On Friday night, Jan. 13, 2012, a trumpet sounded outside the Museum of Modern Art at exactly 6 pm and a banner was unfurled by its front door, announcing the presence of Occupy Wall Street. Occupy Museums, a working group of OWS, had decided to take advantage of Free Fridays at the museum and enter the premises for a well-organized teach-in.

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) in New York last night got Occupied again — by Teamsters from Local 814, Occupy Wall Street, museumgoers, artists, arts enthusiasts and culture activists. The groups gathered outside of the multimillion-dollar exhibition of Diego Rivera’s legendary murals and disrupted museumgoers’ quiet viewing experience.Organizer Noah Fischer addressed the crowd, giving them an alternative interpretation of Rivera’s art:

Is Occupying Museums Misguided? by Hrag Vartanian on October 19, 2011 56 This Occupy Museum effort is the most peculiar Occupy Wall Street/art-related thing I’ve heard about yet. A protest is slated for tomorrow and intends to “occupy” the Frick Museum, MoMA and the New Museum. How is occupying the Frick Museum constructive? They don’t even show contemporary art but historic work that isn’t exactly driving the art market.

2007http://174.129.38.48/2007/01/11/the-best-art-of-2006/ by ART FAG CITY on JANUARY 11, 2007 · 9 COMMENTS
2006This young, Brooklyn-based artist has a winner of a first New York solo: a two-room, Rube-Goldbergesque kinetic environment set to a score of clips from doom-threatening speeches by United States presidents, ardent pop love songs and the baseline sound of jets and bombs. In sync with the soundtrack, low-tech, handmade light-projecting machines whir and jerk into life, turning the show into a combination of modernist ballet mécanique and gothic danse macabre. Technically ingenious and full of ideas, the show takes approximately 10 minutes to complete one sound-and-motion cycle.
2006http://jameswagner.com/2006/12/noah_fischer_at_1.html It’s an awesome piece and an awesome engineering feat as well. It’s also a beautiful work of art, but it wouldn’t have been possible without more than half a century of the mendacity or pure villainy of Americans with great power and the laziness or stupidity of us lesser folk.
2006A homemade magic lantern throws swooping silhouettes of fighter jets across the walls and ceilings of this darkened gallery, while snippets of presidential speeches (Reagan delivering a classic better-dead-than-red bromide) and pop songs (Whitney’s soaring “I-I-I will always love you!”) provide the soundtrack for Fischer’s installation Rhetoric Machine. Gears whirring, a straggly plaster eagle slowly flaps its skeletal wings amid clunky tape recorders, TVs, tanks, and other objects cobbled together from cardboard and plywood while the lightbulb eyes of a bulky robot flash.
