June 7, 2004Secretary Packer to Address Armed Artists of America in NY Announcing 10,000 Acts of Artistic Mediation at the 2004 Republican National Convention
At the invitation of Army Veteran Lee Wells, curator of Active Duty, the Secretary will call on Active Duty artists to inspire other artists into action by carrying out acts of artistic mediation that counter the Republican National Convention. The Secretary will announce numerous artists who are already in various stages of planning: from Jonny America's march down Lexington Avenue in colonial garb declaring "The Republicans are Coming," to the Revelers who will mount the Staton Island Ferry and stage a heroic "Crossing of New York Harbor" to liberate Manhattan from the Bush Loyalists, to the Missile Dick Chicks, a posse of pissed-off housewives from Crawford, Texas charged with opposing consumerism by singing songs like "Shop! In the Name of War."
The Secretary will also announce the US Department of Art & Technology's 2004 Experimental Party (Un)Convention & (Dis)Information Center, a convention intervention that subverts Republican propaganda and welcomes all RNC delegates in order to inform, transform, and redirect their way of thinking.
