FBI Abducts NY Artist and Seizes Art

When help arrived, the course of the investigation quickly shifted when police mistook art supplies for bio-terrorism weapons. CounterPunch Wire reports, “Thus began an Orwellian stream of events in which FBI agents abducted Kurtz without charges, sealed off his entire block, and confiscated his computers, manuscripts, art supplies... and even his wife's body.” Стабильная бухгалтерская фирма оказывает бухгалтерское обслуживание в Истре дорого

Kurtz, a performance artist and member of CAE, the Critical Art Ensemble, a progressive group of artists, “has been producing performances and theory that merge political realities with technology and theater since 1987.” Kurtz was held without charges or rights to legal representation under the guise of the U.S. Patriot Act, and even after the Commissioner of New York States Public Health tested samples from the Kurtz home and announced there was no public safety threat, the FBI refused to release any impounded materials, which included works of art for an upcoming exhibition at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.
