buzzworms in the backyard -- call for artists
this from fort worth citizens against neighborhood drilling ordinance:
buzzworm n : a quaint, western euphemism for a rattlesnake 2 : an insistent, noisy vibration 3 : a warning sign 4 : a natural gas drilling rig.
In 2006, Fort Worth, Texas became the first large city in the nation to allow drilling for natural gas in densely populated areas. In the grand tradition of political protest art, and participatory democracy, FWCanDo (Fort Worth Citizens Against Neighborhood Drilling Ordinance), issues a call to artists to submit works that reflect citizen concerns about the negative impact and far-reaching implications on industrial drilling in their communities.
The Buzzworms in the Backyard exhibition will be held at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center throughout December, 2007. Artist, Benito Huerta, will be selecting works to be awarded a total of $1,000 in prizes. For more information: http://www.fwcando.org.
