- Letters to Texte zur Kunst: Synopsis of Events and Conclusions (Part III)
A concluding look at the exchange between Texte zur Kunst and myself regarding their review of my exhibition "Reframed Positions," in which I was accused of "echoing unchallenged arguments of anti-trans* disinformation." Note: While this text includes a synopsis of events, it is not a synopsis of my previous letters to Texte zur Kunst. Each of the three texts I have written on this topic expand upon quite different ideas, and are best read in order. (Parts I & II are listed immediately below.)

- The Laurence Rassel Show
・ザ・ローレンス・ラッセル・ショー
An electroacoustic radio drama about feminist anonymity, transgendered authorship... and murder. Transcript & MP3 soundfiles of the radio broadcast produced for German Public Radio in collaboration with Laurence Rassel of Brussel's cyberfeminist collective Constant. The project combines original and liberated music with spoken word examining the gender politics of the copyLeft. An album so cutting edge German Public Radio banned it from broadcast. Also starring Tina Horne, Pierre De Jaeger, Nicolas Malevé, Femke Snelting, Marie-Françoise Stewart, Aiko Tsuji and Wendy Van Wynsberghe. Released June 1, 2007, by Comatonse Recordings (Japan: C.016.CD/C.016.EP), Constant vzw (Belgium) and Public Record (US: 2-01-014).
2005年に、トランスジェンダーであるTerreとベルギーを拠点とするサイバーフェミニストLaurence Rasselは、コピー・レフトと著作業に関する「The Laurence Rassel Show」というラジオ・ドラマを作りました。
もともとドイツの公営ラジオの依頼で作成されたのですが、内容に問題があるとのことで放送がキャンセルされました。
おかしなことは、そのラジオ局は、オーディオ・サンプルが使用されていることを全く気にかけませんでしたが、ペギー・フェラン、ジョーン・スミス、ミシェル・フーコー、ロラン・バルト他による原作者の「根源」と「張本人」のテーマについて書かれた哲学的なテキストの朗読が含まれていることを問題視しました。 (English | 日本語)
