Jim Fetterley's "Charged in the Name of Terror"

SAT. 3/24: JIM FETTERLEY IS CHARGED IN THE NAME OF TERROR
Well-loved as half of the video cut-ups Animal Charm, Jim Fetterley returns to our gallery after a 4-year absence on an urgent mission: Rockefeller Fellow Paul Chan initiated an enlightened project connecting artists with activists, and Fetterley took the commission to convey the particularly troubling trials of Steve Kurtz, seminal member of the Critical Art Ensemble, who’s been charged with bio-terrorism under the Patriot Act. Jim’s (and collaborator Angie Waller’s) segment is nested within the larger omnibus of 4 other interviews, Charged in the Name of Terror, which consists of similar visits with those who have been targeted by the government as security threats: Lynne Stewart, Mohammed Yousry, Kathy Kelly, and Frida Berrigan. Offering one small solution to our geopolitical ills, Fetterley greets tonight’s attendees with a dynamic demonstration of his amazing electric bike, riding around the gallery walls velodrome-style. A portion of the proceeds go to the CAE Defense Fund. $7.
