Holland Cotter, 'No Frames, No Brushes, Just a Limitless Flickering Screen', The New York Times, Jan 17, 2006

'There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal, nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false; it can be both true and false.' I believe that these assertions still make sense and do still apply to the exploration of reality through art. - Harold Pinter, opening remarks from his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize

Low-Intensity Conflict explores how the current political climate affects contemporary art. The selection highlights work which, employing a variety of tactics – from typical activist models to a more ambivalent presentation –aims to subvert expectations and outmoded stereotypes for political art.

The screening curated by Miriam Katzeff, is the first in a series of bi-monthly film and video screenings to be held in 2006, and is made possible with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State agency.
