Paul says: "Since first putting out the call to artists for this show a LOT has happened…
Riots broke out, embassies burned and people died over a few cartoons…
Hamas got voted in.
The third anniversary of the invasion of Irag passed…
Moussaoui stands trial as the only person charged for the Sept. 11 attacks (thus far)…
And of course the continuing and dumbfounding Irag situation iself, so… it is a lot to try to wrap one's mind around. With this show I simply wanted to let artists put forth any ideas/ thoughts/ agendas/ solutions/ or lack thereof into a single project… enjoy. TAR ART RAT
