Taboo Theater 2.0 is an Internet/Theater project by media artists Ursula Endlicher, Ela Kagel and Anke Zimmermann, focusing on the question: How much taboo does art need? On a blog people are invited to submit images, sound files, texts, videos or comments on taboos in art, theater, literature, or on the Web. These posts will then be incorporated in a week-long theater production at Theater am Neumarkt/Chorgasse in Zurich from May 19-24, 2008.

The current issue of Kunst Magazin Berlin is dedicated to Taboos. Eugenia Ilion writes:

“Discussion of the term taboo is complicated from any perspective, because it is a term that is, in reality, empty. Every society, every age, and even every individual attributes to the term another meaning, and for that reason taboo has no consistent content. It serves, rather, as an umbrella-category for an ill-timed subject. As an open code, taboos allow room for interpretation, but the urge to use the term grows with its lack of clarity. This margin of play seems to be predestined for art’s license to do as it pleases. But does art need taboos? What is a taboo?”

With the Internet as a global stage, the artists hope many different points of view will be conveyed. The structure and functionality of the blog will be translated onto the theater stage, where the collected content will be further worked on.

On October 12-19, the FCC will open a rare window for issuing full-power, noncommercial radio licenses. Now may be your only chance to secure a license. Read the FCC’s announcement.

• The window itself will only last seven days.
• You can only file your application during this seven-day window, so everything needs to be prepared in advance.

If you don’t apply during this window, it will be many years before another licensing window opens and, frankly, there won’t be much full power radio spectrum of value available after this issuing period.
