European Corrections Corporation
Ein Projekt von Martin Krenn & Oliver Ressler
Container-Installation in Graz
http://www.eu-c-c.com
Die Institution Gefängnis ist ein Instrument der Disziplinierung, der
Bestrafung und des Ausschlusses und fungiert als Agent der Kontrolle und
Normierung. In der heutigen Gesellschaft kommt dem Gefängnis zudem eine
wichtige Rolle als ökonomischer Produktionsort zu, an welchem die
Gefangenen zu Niedrigstlöhnen arbeiten müssen. Davon profitiert vor
allem die sich immer weiter ausbreitende private Gefängnisindustrie.
Seit den 80er Jahren erzielen in den USA Konzerne wie Wackenhut und
Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) durch die Errichtung und den
Betrieb von Gefängnisanstalten hohe Profite. In den letzten Jahren
gewinnen sie auch in Europa immer mehr an Einfluss. Sie betrachten den
europäischen Markt als Wachstumsbranche, an der sie so früh wie möglich
teilhaben wollen. CCA forciert den Bau und Betrieb von
teilprivatisierten Gefängnissen in Frankreich. Wackenhut und CCA bauen
und betreiben außerdem bereits seit mehr als zehn Jahren
Gefängnisanlagen in Großbritannien. Dort wurde seit der Öffnung des
Gefängnissystems für private Konzerne kein einziges staatliches
Gefängnis mehr errichtet.
Das Projekt "European Corrections Corporation" fokussiert das Phänomen
der voranschreitenden Privatisierung von Gefängnissen in Europa und
stellt die Institution Gefängnis in Frage. In der Fußgängerzone in der
Grazer Innenstadt wird ein begehbarer 605 x 243 x 259 cm großer
Container platziert, der von einer bedruckten Plane ummantelt ist. Auf
der Plane ist eine detaillierte mit Texten kommentierte CAD-Grafik zu
sehen, die die mögliche zukünftige Privatisierung und den Umbau der
Strafanstalt Graz-Karlau durch einen privatwirtschaftlichen Konzern
visualisiert.
Wie reale Konzerne versucht EUCC (European Corrections Corporation), das
Gefängnis als deterritorialisierten Produktionsort innerhalb der
kapitalistischen Ökonomie zu nutzen und stellt ein Modell für die
gewinnbringende Verwertung der Arbeitskraft der Gefangenen vor. So
sollen durch einen Neubau von zwei Gefängnisgebäuden in der Strafanstalt
Graz-Karlau die Haftplätze verdoppelt werden.
Im Inneren des Containers wird ein 17 minütiges Video projiziert, das
auf einem Interview mit dem britischen Aktivisten Mark Barnsley basiert.
Barnsley war acht Jahre lang in 22 verschiedenen privaten und
staatlichen Gefängnissen in Großbritannien eingesperrt, und hat dort
konsequent die Arbeit verweigert. Mark Barnsley zeigt auf, dass sowohl
staatlich als auch privat geführte Gefängnisse den Vorstellungen von
Kriminalität als Krankheit und als soziales Übel unterliegen, die sie
als Disziplinierungsmaschinen mit Gewalt aufrecht zu erhalten versuchen.
Das Video thematisiert die Funktion und den Wandel der Institution
Gefängnis und zeigt Möglichkeiten des Widerstandes in und außerhalb der
Gefängnisse auf.
Die Container-Installation ist von 24. Mai bis 26. Oktober 2003 als Teil
des Ausstellungsprojekts "real* utopia" des <rotor> im Rahmen der
Kulturhauptstadt Graz 2003 in der Annenstraße/Nähe Südtirolerplatz
zugänglich.

E N G L I S H :
European Corrections Corporation
A Project by Martin Krenn & Oliver Ressler
Container Installation in Graz
http://www.eu-c-c.com
The institution prison is an instrument of discipline, punishment, and
exclusion, and functions as an agent of control and normalization. In
today's society, the prison also has an additional important role as a
site of economic production, in which the prisoners must work for a
minimum wage. For the most part, it is the expanding prison industry
that profits from this enterprise.
In the U.S., corporations such as Wackenhut and Corrections Corporation
of America (CCA) have aspired to high profits through building and
operating correctional facilities since the 1980s. Their influence has
also continued to increase in Europe for the past years. They consider
the European market as a growth market, which they want a share of as
early as possible. CCA has pushed forward the construction and
management of partially privatized prisons in France. Wackenhut and CCA
have already been building and running correctional facilities in Great
Britain for more than ten years. There, not one single state prison has
been built since opening the prison system to private companies.
The project "European Corrections Corporation" focuses on the phenomenon
of the advancing privatization of prisons in Europe and questions the
institution prison. A walk-in container, 605 x 243 x 259 cm, covered
with a printed tarpaulin, will be placed in the pedestrian zone in the
center of Graz. On the tarpaulin is a detailed CAD graphic with text
commentary, which visualizes a private corporation's future
privatization and rebuilding of the Graz-Karlau correctional facility.
Like a real company, EUCC (European Corrections Corporation) attempts to
use the prison as a de-territorialized site of production within the
capitalist economy and presents a model for the profitable utilization
of the prisoners' labor power. Thus, the construction of two prison
buildings in the Graz-Karlau correctional facility is meant to double
the number of spaces available for prisoners.
Projected inside the container will be a seventeen-minute video based on
an interview with the British activist Mark Barnsley. Barnsley was
incarcerated for eight years in twenty-two different private and state
prisons in Great Britain and consistently refused to work there.
Barnsley shows that underlying both state run and privately run prisons
is the idea that criminality is a disease and a social evil, which they
attempt to maintain with force, with disciplinary machines. The video
thematizes the function and the transformation of the prison as an
institution and shows possibilities for resistance inside and outside of
the prisons.
The container installation is accessible from 24 May until 26 October
2003 in the Annenstraße/near Südtirolerplatz as part of the exhibition
project, "real* utopia" by <rotor>, within the framework of the Cultural
Capital Graz 2003.

Wegway 5 launch party at the Gladstone Hotel
Queen West and Dufferin, Toronto
Saturday, June 7th, 2003
The party will start at 8 pm on Saturday, June 7th, 2003 and go ‘til the wee hours. DJ’s Mike Hansen and Tomasz Krakowiak will improvise as a duo; then there’s a live band, The Gravity Within, all the way from Hamilton; DJ’s Chris Lawless and Kerry Potts (and guests) www.lawlessindustries.com are up third; and The Steamwhistle Brewing Company will be on hand all night long to do the kind of promotional things that Brewing Companies do. This means lots of fun and lots of beer. There’s a ten dollar cover or pay what you can – it includes a free copy of Wegway 5 while they last.
Issue 5 has atrocious and funny comics by Sherwin Tjia that rely on the denial of drawing to deliver graphic interest. New York artist Robert Lederman documents his victorious battle with Rudolph Giuliani, illustrated with sardonic portraits of the mayor. Randall Packer sends a message from the faux US Department of Art and Technology on ways to prevent war. Artists Anonymous, a collective from Calgary, asks artists to give up making art for their own good. Seakmac, an Argentinean graffiti artist living in Ottawa, will show some of his work done on rail cars. Kenji Siratori, a self-styled hypermodern writer from Sapporo, Japan publishes an excerpt from Blood Electric. Hendrik Mallmann from Germany explains, and shows the results from, his pinhole camera made of macaroni. Don Bonham, part of the London, Ontario scene in the 60’s and 70’s, tells what it was like to be an American in Canada who was not a draft dodger. Javier Tellez publishes an open letter that explains why he !
has withdrawn from the next Venice
Biennial. Plus lots more.
And don’t forget the Second Annual
Wegway International Juried Exhibition
at SPIN Gallery this August.
It’s not to late to apply www.wegway.com or email wegway@sympatico.ca

Subject: Information/SubstituteCity
On Stage! On Air! On Tour!
ErsatzStadt (SubstituteCity) presents two models dealing with the
substitute public arena:
KIOSK for useful knowledge
Mobile Research Unit, Cinema & Archive
Theme 1: Space Control
Mon, June 2- Sat, June 7, daily between 9 and 11 pm
at Villa Elisabeth, Invalidenstrasse 4, Berlin
Admission 3 € (limited number of seats available)
With simultaneous translating from English to German
In the 1920s, KIOSK designated a moveable Russian architecture model
used as an information booth and speaker’s stand for propaganda
purposes. The KIOSK for useful knowledge (designed by Stephan Craig) is
the mobile research unit for the project ErsatzStadt / SubstituteCity
and will go on tour to alternating locations in public buildings
starting June 1. KIOSK is, at the same time, a cinema where live
productions take place on a daily basis and an ever-growing audiovisual
archive with “Narrations of Spaces, Cities and Territories”. In
curatorial discursive situations professional knowledge and theory meets
daily practice and individual narration. Documentation, falsification,
entreating takes place – a swap exchange, a public black market of
essential knowledge. The first entry in the archive, marking the start
of the KIOSK operations, will begin on June 1, 2003, and deal with the
theme: space control. International guests will thematize the use of
architecture, urban and landscape planning as a strategic and political
weapon. The dialogues of space control reflect a public debate that has
been going on in Israel for a number of years now, which critically
questions the role of planners and architects. The territorial
fragmentation and segregation in the occupied zones will be juxtaposed
with examples of post-Apartheid architecture in South Africa and the
consequences of ethnic segregation in Bosnia.
On June 29 (7:30 pm) the six dialogues in the archive of the KIOSK can
be viewed at the Volksbühne.
Participating in the KIOSK dialogues are:
Monday, June 2: Amos Gitai (Filmmaker/Tel Aviv) and Friedemann Büttner
(Middle East Expert/Berlin):
About Arabic and Israeli routes, political landscapes and traumas.
The relationship between places and identities that are in a permanent
state of war.
Tuesday, June 3: Sharon Rotbard (Architect/Tel Aviv) and Roemer van
Toorn (Program Director of the Berlage Institute/Rotterdam):
Urban planning: About urban myths in Israel and liberal ideology &
design in the Netherlands.
Wednesday, June 4: Eyal Weizman (Architect/London, Tel Aviv) and David
Campbell (Professor for International Politics/Newcastle):
About crimes that were committed at the drawing-board.
Thursday, June 5: Jeff Halper (Professor for Urban Anthropology, Ben
Gurion University/Jerusalem) and Lindsay Bremner (Architect and
Professor for Architecture at the University of Witwatersrand/
Johannesburg):
Architecture of violence in post-Apartheid Johannesburg and in East
Jerusalem.
Friday, June 6: Meron Benvenisti (Geographer, Historian,
Author/Jerusalem) and Milan Prodanovic (Architect, Professor for
Urbanism at the University of Novi Sad/Belgrade):
The morning after: post-war cities.
Saturday, June 7: Alexandre Kedar (Law Professor at the University of
Haifa) and Eyal Weizman:
Paragraphs programme space: About the legal background of a territorial
conflict.

ERSATZRADIO (SUBSTITUTE RADIO)
Seven days of Space Control on 104.1 UKW
Sunday, 1st – Saturday, 7th June 2003, 24 hours non-stop
Live stream: www.ersatzmedia.info
Based on the seven dialogues in the KIOSK, the topic of “Space Control”
will be commentated on and popularized using a temporary radio station
that is transmitting live from the studio in the Prater of the
Volksbühne. 80 telephone interviews with specialists all around the
world, global regional reporters, weather forecasters and traffic
correspondents from Bombay/Mumbai, Lagos & Taschkent as well as
international independent radio stations will map out an atlas of
fundamental and imaginary space concepts. ERSATZRADIO/SUBSTITUTE RADIO
will commence on June 1st with a live stream by Multitude e.V., coming
straight from the G8 summit meeting in Evian. Under the direction and
program supervision of Klaas “stream minister” Glenewinkel a 24 hour
program will be transmitted. In the studio: 10 interviewers, the Israeli
guests from the KIOSK, the presenters Jürgen Kuttner, Lilo Wanders,
Wolfgang Müller, Manuela Krause and RP Kahl.

This is an invitation for new collaborators for the ongoing Elastic Test =
Project, a traveling series of performances critically exploring notions =
of citizenship, normativity and immigration - if you have ideas, =
proposals or contributions you would like to suggest, please email
borcila@arts.usf.edu
Please see the most recent installment of the Elastic Test Project on =
the updated project website
www.elastictest.com
The premise of this project is simple and deliberately absurd: what kind =
of testing procedure can objectively measure a foreigner against a =
normative standard, to determine if they can become "naturalized"? How =
is such subjectivity quantified and institutionalized? Through this =
website, we solicit proposals for such tests, debate/negotiate the =
selection process, broadcast the performance of the tests in different =
locations/countries, archive the results, and provide the final =
measurements. Please see website for more on the project and concept.
The archive section on the website will lead you to the project's recent =
incarnation in Calgary, a performance that critically explores the =
conceptual and social dimensions of "valuation". This most recent test =
combines the evaluative methods in effect in monetary systems and =
numismatics with the evaluative systems used in Canadian Immigration Law =
to determine worthiness for citizenship. Using workshop participants as =
"evaluation agents", the performance separates the audience into groups =
of contingency based on fixed value systems, only to unsettle this =
structure through a more flexible or "elastic" system of negotiation. =
This social performance is constructed as a test that makes visible the =
violent ways in which systems of value are institutionally imposed and =
negotiated.
The Elastic Test Project is developed by Rozalinda Borcila (US, Romania) =
and Robert Lawrence (US). New proposals and collaborators are welcome at =
any time. I look forward to hearing from you,
Rozalinda Borcila

Subject: <freedom friday> Wipe out IOM, WTO and WIPO
Wipe out IOM, WTO and WIPO
Call for a demonstration on May 30th in Geneva
Start: 11.A.M. near the railway station
(watch out for more infos and the geneva03 video live stream)
In the days preceding the mass protests of June 1st against the G8, we
hope thousands of people will converge in the region in order to take
part in the camps, conferences, workshops and help prepare the large
demonstration and mass civil disobedience of June 1st.
In the framework of these activities we call for a demonstration in
the "institutional quarter" of Geneva on Friday May 30th. Our
intention is to politically express our fundamental criticism of
capitalist development and our clear rejection of more and more
transnational instruments of exploitation, control and exclusion.
Freedom of movement is our demand when we gather in front of the
International Organisation for Migration (IOM), an intergovernmental
institution, which claims the leadership in socalled "global migration
managment", which means to combine programmes of deportation and
internment of migrants, the destruction of flightroutes and
recruitment-projects for cheap labourforces.
At the World Trade Organisation (WTO), we will "reject the idea that
so called "free" trade creates employment and increases welfare, and
the assumption that it can contribute to the alleviation of poverty.
But we will also very clearly reject the alternative of a stronger
national capitalism and authoritarian state to take over central
control from corporations. Our struggles aim at taking back control of
the means of production from the hands of both transnational and
national capital, in order to create free, sustainable and
community-controlled livelihoods, with equal rights and opportunities
for women and men, based on solidarity and people's needs and not on
exploitation and greed." [1]
Freedom of communication will be our slogan as we'll face the World
Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). What is recently known as
"information society" appears as a wave of expansionist intellectual
property laws. Companies are able to exercise biopolitical control
that takes to new extremes the tendency of liberating capital by
restricting individual and collective freedom and rights - even the
right to life itself.
IOM, WTO and WIPO symbolize three central pillars of global governance
and the three combined demonstrations in front of their respective
headquarters will highlight this context.
We refuse and reject both capitalist exploitation and racist
exclusion, border managment and digital rights managment, restrictions
of freedom of movement and constraints of the freedom of
communication. This demonstration will be a further step to strengthen
an interconnected struggle of anticapitalist and anti-racist
movements, of net activists and free access campaigns to shape a
global movement of movements.
The character of the demonstration will be selfdetermined in its
contents, but peaceful in its running. We will be coloured and noisy,
but we will avoid any confrontations with the police. We will accuse
the transnational agencies and maintain our daily and longterm
struggle against them. But we will not occupy or´attack their
barrickaded buildings. Two days before the beginning of the G8 summit
and the announced mass protests we do not want to give the police a
pretext to start a dynamic of repression and play their logic of war.

- -----------
In the evening before the demonstration, on Thursday May 29th, there
will be a public information event and debate about our approach and
the topics mentioned. It will take place in L'Usine, place des
volontaires, Geneva.
- - with Frank Düvell from the anti-racists office in Bremen, related
to the noborder network, about the global migration-regime;
- - hopefully with somebody from anti-wto-struggles...;
- - with Alan Toner from Autonomedia about the demand for freedom of
communication.
L'usine will be the indymedia center during the days of protest and
will offer a livestreaming of this event in the camps in Annemasse and
out to the world. In addition to that a new video film about the role
and function of the IOM will be presented in the camps and in other
public spaces in Geneva.

TERROR=DECOR
A series of panels: Torino - New York - Beirut
NEW YORK, Wednesday, May, 28 2003, 6.30 pm
Max Protetch Gallery, 511 W 22nd St. NY 10011
Participants:
Ziga Kariz, artist, Slovenian Pavilion, 2003 Venice Biennial
Jill Magid, artist, Rijksakademie, Amsterdam
Igor Zabel, co-curator of the 50. Venice Biennial 2003
Marcel Stefancic Jr., critic and media theoretician, philosopher/writer
Timothy Druckrey, new media theoretician
moderated by Katherine Carl, curator and writer, New York
After Torino, where at panel discussion on May, 12, Ziga Kariz and his
production crew encountered Alberto Franceschini, co-founder of the Red
Brigade (Brigate Rosse) and Antonio Caronia, media theoretician, editor of
the Red Star (Stella Rossa) newspaper in 1970s, we are eager to invite you
to the second panel discussion, where panelists will discuss about the art
in the realm of global capital and violence.
For his exhibition at the Slovenian Pavilion (curated by Kapelica Gallery)
at the 2003 Venice Biennial, Ljubljana-based artist Ziga Kariz has
developed a new phase of TERROR=DECOR project, his ongoing investigation
into the cultural zone where painting meets surveillance technology,
terrorism, and cinema. By outfitting his paintings with digital cameras,
distributing them throughout private homes in Venice, and using the
Slovenian Pavilion as a site for surveillance monitoring, Kariz
destabilizes the traditional roles played by artists, viewers, and collectors.
How does the painter-painting-viewer relationship change in a world whose
visual culture is dominated by rapid exchange of information through the
media and the constant possibility of terrorist activity? In what way is
the viewer of painting directly implicated in the larger cultural
discourse, a discourse that extends beyond the art world and into the realm
of global capital and violence? The panel discussion at Max Protetch on May
28 will address these issues as they exist in both Kariz's work and the art
world at large.
The panel discussion in Beirut (Lebanon) will occur in the end of June 2003
when we will encounter artists, media theoreticians and strong
opinion-makers who will discuss about the mediation of Middle East
socio-political disturbances which media translates to the western way of
understanding the world map.
