(New York - WABC, March 8, 2007) - There's an ever-changing art exhibit on display in Queens, much like the news. It is literally replaced every 24 hours.
Eyewitness News reporter Lauren Glassberg has more on this art work.

It's not just one artist contributing to this project. It's two dozen and they are all bound by one rule that they create something that deals with the news of the day that Thierry agrees with.

Don't get too attached to anything you see on these walls because at 12:30 p.m. everyday, artists enter the circular gallery at P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center and get to work. They take down the art work that was hung before and replace it with their own new creations inspired by news of the past 24 hours.

"I found since I have been engaged in this project, I'm reading The Times, I'm looking at the BBC and I'm looking at the AP," artist Gail Rothschild said. "It's got to be a story that jumps out and bites me."

On Monday, Gail Rothschild was struck by bizarre die off of honeybee. The day before her piece was about Afghanistan's booming opium crop. She has created a different piece every day since exhibit opened early February.

The idea is Thierry Geoffroy's but is a recombination of a number of other peoples ideas. He calls it Emergency Room in part because he believes there are so many crises facing the world which artists can and should address.

"You can see things that other people cannot see," Thierry Geoffroy said. "So when you look at the newspaper and when you watch the news on TV, you can spot a lot of things that are strange to him."

Mac Premo has created short animations. It is about the diplomacy of North Korea visualized through the negotiation chairs. He and other artists agree the daily deadlines offer up a new sort of artistic challenge.

"It is good practice," an artist, Mac Premo, said. "It feels like good practice, conceptions."

"It was incredible opportunity to step aside from what I have been doing in my studio practice and to devote my self to this project," Gail Rothschild said.

The exhibit runs through March 19th. The best time to go is at about noon, so you can see yesterday's pieces replaced by the newest creations.

Thomas Jeffeson a Marxist lunatic?

From Noam Chomsky - Here is a little piece of interesting fact. Near the end of Thomas Jeffeson's life, he spoke with a mixture of concern and hope about what had been achieved, and urged the population to struggle to maintain the victories of democracy.
He made a distinction between two groups- The Aristocrats and Democrats. Aristocrats "fear and distrust them into the hands of the higher classes." This view is held by respectable intellectuals in many different societies today, and is quite similar to the Leninist doctrine that the vangaurd party of radical intellectuals should take power and lead the stupid masses to a bright future.

Jefferson specifically warned against "banking institutions and monied incorporations" and said that if they, grow, the aristocrats will have won and the American Revolution will have been lost. John Dewey was one of the last spokespersons for the Jeffersonian view of democracy. In the early part of this century, he wrote that democracy isn't an end in itself, but a means by which people discovered and extend and manifest their rights, Democracy is rooted in freedom, solidarity, a choice of work and the ability to participate in the social order. Democracy produces real people, he said. Thats the major product of democratic society-real people. Like Jefferson and other classic liberals, Dewey recognized that institutions of private power were absolutist institutions, unaccountable and basically totalitarian in their internal structure. Today, they're far more powerful than anything Dewey dreamed of.

This literature is all accessible. Its hard to think of more leading figures in American history than Thomas Jefferson and John Dewey. They're as American as apple pie. But when you read them today, they sound like crazed Marxist lunatic. That just shows how much our intellectual life has deteriorated.

This is some pretty amazing facts about how are society is overpowered by large corporations and institutions. No matter how much one works, pulls their wait, strives for a better life, their lives will be controled by these groups and not Democracy. Democracy means very little today as it might seem. Put your money into Corporations they are the ones ruling the country today.
