From: "ronen eidelman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Burning Bulls Maarav art & culture magazine celebrates democracy on the eve of Israel's national elections March 27, 2006 Doors at 10pm The Vortex, Ben Avigdor 4, Tel AvivAs police detectives turned Maarav editor Ronen Eidelman's home upsidedown searching for non-existant evidence of a crime he had no part in (ultimately seizing his computer equipment) one officer remarked to Ronen, "The problem with this country is that there is too much democracy".In an age when the public sphere has become polluted by public relations personell, bad entertainers and other crooks, and when paths of expression and creativity have become blocked to those who are not willing to bow down before the authorities, we believe that there can never be too much democracy.The day before the national elections, Maarav will celebrate those who not only create original, independent art and culture, but those who also believe that free expression its worth fighting for.Reclaim democracy and the public square! Samy Matar, oriental fusion Mobius, dub & triphop Tubi, techno grooves Ori Lichtik, hardcore techno VJ Levyatan Art Exhibit + Pre-election poll20 shekel suggested contribution. All proceeds to support Maarav's legal battle with the Israeli authorities, and to investigate the connection between the art, capital, and the state.
