CREATIVE CAPITAL GRANTEES are busy as ever, with exhibits and performances scheduled throughout the country this summer. For a full listing, be sure to visit the Creative Capital Channel Arts Calendar. One major event this fall surrounds the publication of photographer Paul Shambroom's monograph "Meetings" by Chris Boot Publishing (London). On October 20, the SoHoApple Store in New York City will celebrate this book launch by hosting an unprecedented "Virtual Town Meeting" in which political bloggers and photobloggers are asked to share their photographs and postings of democracy at work. The entire event will be webcast on the internet, and will be accompanied by panel discussions in New York and Minneapolis. The webcast will appear online at http://channel.creative-capital.org/shambroom.
Creative Capital grantees The Yes Men (funded as ®™ark) are the subject of a documentary film released by United Artists in New York and Los Angeles on September 24. The film follows Andy and Mike, men who pretend to be corporate bigwigs in order to expose powerful corporate evildoing. In 1999, their parody of the World Trade Organization website was misinterpreted by trade organizations who thought they were the real WTO, earning them invitations to important business trade meetings around the world. Andy and Mike played along, impersonating despicable executives in order to publicly humiliate them. [Visit The Yes Men website]

An annotated collection of career-resource sites, the Toolbox is full of new additions, including the sonic-art center Engine 27, new-media organization Rhizome, and Film/Video Arts, the largest nonprofit media arts center in the New York region.
