That is the date when some of Hip Hop's most talented players will come together for a benefit concert at Hunter College for Mumia Abu-Jamal and victims of police brutality. The show's line up includes, Mos Def, Wyclef Jean, dead prez and Black Thought of The Roots. The following week The Roots head on out to the SF Bay Area to do another benefit concert for Mumia. It's called 'Bringing Mumia Home' and will feature a number of Bay Area performers including Dwayne Wiggins of Tony Toni Tone. This will take place at the Berkeley Community Theater on June 10th. For those who haven't been following the Mumia case. He's a former Black Panther, writer and award winning journalist who has spent the past 18 years on Pennsylvania's death row. He was convicted of killing a police officer after coming upon a scene in which his brother was being severely beaten by police. During the ensuing trial there were many who believed that the trial was distorted and crucial evidence that would've shed a different light on the outcome was disallowed. Mumia's case has drawn International attention with the demands that he be given a new trial. When looking at the larger picture, Mumia has come to represent the problems that many have with the rapidly expanding Prison Industrial Complex. Last week there was a regional March here in SF to bring attention to the Mumia case and more then 15 thousand people showed up. For more info on Mumia check out his website http://www.mumia.org.

Please forward this e-mail to anyone else who may have known/heard of him. cheers, Sol.

FLUXLIST: lightworks
lightworks is a great magazine with muchflux stuff in it. and charlton burch is a very nice guy. buy back issues. send him lots of money. How about if somebody scans the pages and rips the audio from their copies and then puts them on the web for everybody to enjoy? This would be very beneficial because people who'd never know about Mr. Burch and his mag otherwise would suddenly be enlightened to them! Myke P.S. Howzitgoin', Sol? Long time!
Re: FLUXLIST: Imagine
High! "property is theft." There is Private/Collective/State Property (landed estate, mine, factory, bank, block of flats, etc. - tools of exploitation) and there is Personal Property (tooth brush, family house, bed, car, sunglass, condom, pen, cat, personal computer, table etc. - not tools of exploitation).

FLUXLIST: New Website in the works.
Hi everyone, I really enjoy the mailing list, as I have been subscribing for over a year. I'm presently a 24 year old working on what is most easily described as an MFA at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The skinny: I'm putting together a not for profit web site that will feature pieces of art, from video to collage from young artists around the world. Because of my personal involvement with fandom, ala beck, I have come into contact with many talented artists who produce pieces that are worthy of display. They might not be recognized yet, or they might just be lazy, but their work isn't out there. I want to change that. So I'm going to. I'm looking for artists from 1-28 with absolutely no gallery experience, who will retain COMPLETE ownership of their art to consider my ideas of how to display their art on the web. Again, this isn't about me making money, in fact, there will never be art sold on the site. I have a professional web designer who is passionate about the art, and I have some resources and contacts (free web space on a dedicated server) to make this happen. Please contact me if you are an artist who wishes to discuss this endeavor. All in all, I want the experience to be fun. Punch and pie will be served. Tim

Terrence writes; What would Greenburg say? Another part of the past passes. I can remember seeing the film Painter's Painting in 1985 and listening to Barnet Newman's good faith and feeling so enthusiastic about painting. Those were the days and things have changed since 1985. Something better start happenin here. The times they are changing faster! Good faith indeed!~ T.
