We are the Unknown Artists. We are asking for your help in fixing the broken gallery system that allows artists to be routinely ripped off and taken advantage of. The system that allows gallery owners to make millions while using unpaid interns. A system where artists are afraid ask for a contract and then worry that they will never be paid if their work sells. Read the rest of this entry »

A judge issued stay-away orders Monday against four Occupy Cal protesters who were involved in the Nov. 9 demonstrations, barring them from setting foot on UC Berkeley property.
The defendants are not only barred from the Berkeley campus, but all UC property throughout the state of California.
At the request of the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, Superior Court Judge Paul Seeman issued orders which require that the protesters stay away 100 yards from all UC property, except for when they go to and from class and work…
“The problems with the stay away order are that it’s very vague. UC property – does that include UC hospitals? Does that include UC housing? We have some defendants that live in UC Housing,” said Jeff Wozniak, an attorney for one of the protesters.
No expiration date was given for the stay-away order, which came as a result of misdemeanor charges of “resisting arrest” and “blocking the sidewalk” after being bludgeoned by UC police on November 9 last year.
Short-timer Birgeneau: "I sincerely apologize..." but I won't do anything about the charges.
Instead, he simply passed on the petition to the DA, to whom it was not addressed, and in his silence has passively aligned himself with the ongoing prosecution.
“I consider academic excellence, social equity, public service and free speech to be at the very foundation of who we are as an institution. These are the values that attracted me to UC Berkeley, and they must be preserved.”
UPDATE 3/21/12: A total of 8 UC Berkeley students and alumni have been issued stay-away orders (Daily Cal). Of the 13 charged, our remain to be arraigned. So far, all of those charged have been issued stay-away orders, except the faculty member.
Don’t let your desire for recognition allow for the continuation of a broken, harmful system.

It was a day-long festival in Zuccotti Park / Liberty Square today in New York City yesterday, 3/17/12. Occupiers re-occupied the park, celebrating the six-month anniversary of Occupy Wall Street’s founding. A large number of people stayed in Zuccotti for the evening, but about 11:30 PM were ordered out and were beaten by NYPD…
A different kind of Park Occupation took place in Oakland, CA the same day. Some three hundred Occupy Oaklanders and Oakland residents got together and held a barbeque / speakout / talk-fest at Arroyo Park in East Oakland this afternoon…
You probably won’t read anything about the Oakland event anywhere but here. Of course, that’s because there were no arrests. No shields. No tear gas. No violence. That’s for one very good reason: no police. Just a bunch of happy campers gourmands stuffing their faces with incredible bbq-ed chicken and awesome deserts, talking shit is fucked up and stuff…
You’d almost think that, for today, Oakland was New York, and New York was Oakland.

Just saw police slam a protester into this door, 55 East 10th. This was the result. Arrestee was punched in the face. http://t.co/BKw7eN4N— Ryan Devereaux (@RDevro) March 18, 2012
