The Herbert Read Conference

Dates: 25, 26 and 27 June 2004

Location: The Djanogly Arts Centre, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, England

Deadline for Submission of Proposals: Not yet set

Following his death in 1968, interest in Herbert Read's work fell away dramatically, and even his position as a signifiant historical figure in the history of Modernism was often forgotten. This situation began to change in 1993 with the staging of the major international exhibition, Herbert Read: A British Vision of World Art, at Leeds City Art Galleries in England. Together with the accompanying catalogue and an academic conference, this exhibition sowed the seeds for a revival of interest in Read which is very much in evidence today.

September Deadline: Can the ICANN Model Be Revised?

On September 30, 2002, the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the US Department of Commerce (DOC) and ICANN, the corporation created to private the infrastructure of the Internet, will expire. As the deadline
is soon approaching, a burning question remains: Can a private entity and
a public treasure be mixed?" (The public treasure is the Internet.)

The Anarchist Youth Network (Britain and Ireland) is the only youth
organisation, created by young people, which isn't trying to recruit you to
a sad outdated political party.

In the early winter of 2001, the Phoenix Anarchist
Coalition began discussions centered around the
creation of a southwest anarchist network. Some
visiting anarchists from New Mexico heard our ideas
and decided they would like to host a South West
Anarchist Gathering (SWAG). More discussions
regarding such a network took place at the Bay Area
Anarchist Bookfair (BAAB) and, of course, at the SWAG
in New Mexico. On the last day of the SWAG,
anarchists from New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado
began planning for the next discussion at the
Transform Columbus Day events in Denver. The group
also decided to follow this up with the actual
formation of the network at another southwest
anarchist conference/gathering in Phoenix, AZ in the
spring of 2003.
