In a wave of massive state repression, 300+ Police, in many cases armed, raided houses around the country today making 17 arrests. Search warrants were carried out in Auckland, Whakatane, Ruatoki, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch. Police are also seeking up to 60 people for questioning. The arrestees are all activists in the Tino Rangatiratanga, peace and environmental movements. Prominent Tino Rangatiratanga activist Tame Iti was among the first arrested at his home at 4am Monday morning. At 6am raids were carried out at A Space Inside anarchist social centre in Auckland and the 128 activist Community Centre in Wellington. In Tuhoe Country, the town of Ruatoki was blockaded by armed police for several hours, with no cars allowed in and many searched. Although the latest events affects all of us, they have specific impacts on those in Ruatoki, and Maori throughout NZ. Please think critically about the information the media is feeding to us, and don't forget that for many colonisation such as instances of police repression, continue on a daily basis.Fear in the activist communities is rampant however we have decided that because we have nothing to hide that we will not be scared into complacency or silence. We will fight against the abuse of these state powers because we must. Protests have been organized nationally and internationally with thousands getting out on the streets in support of those detained.If you are from Wellington and have been involved in any political activity its likely that you know some of the arrestees, or you know someone who does. Unfortunately, their names are suppressed, they are still in police custody and are being transferred to Auckland for a court appearance on the 1st/2nd of November. We hope that they will be given bail on these dates, but obviously nothing can be confirmed. Please show your support of the arrestees and the voicing of political dissidence this Saturday (see below).

Lawrence & Gibson Set to Smash Cling Film World Record.
- October 18 at Mighty Mighty
To celebrate the release of Ulrich Haarburste's Novel of Roy Orbison in Cling Film Wellington publishing collective Lawrence & Gibson will attempt to break the world record for greatest quantity of people simultaneously wrapped in cling film (aka Glad wrap; plastic wrap).
Guinness World Records note that no record currently exists. Yet after months of research Lawrence & Gibson has learnt that twelve people were simultaneously wrapped at a private event in San Francisco during March 1997. Unfortunately no photos were taken showing all twelve wrapped at one time, so to ensure the record is conclusively set, Richard Meros, a representative from Lawrence & Gibson, claims they will wrap “at least one hundred [people], if not many more.”
The record attempt will occur at The Mighty Mighty, Cuba St, Wellington on Thursday October 18 and afterwards the cling film will be melted into a statue of Roy Orbison to commemorate the event.
To quell any possible safety concerns with the practice, known in bondage circles as 'mummification', there will be five designated safety officers on hand, a steady supply of liquids along with what Meros describes as “a practiced method of wrapping.”

By Any Means Necessary, the "Hard Eight" Group ExhibitionGroup Exhibition featuring artists Blake Boyd, Jeffrey Cook, Demond, Robin Durand, Horton Humble, Terrence Sanders, Dan Tague and Clifton Faust.
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 13, 2007 through October 31, 2007
7pm – 10pm
11am – 6pm
Terrence Sanders Gallery 936 Royal Street New Orleans Louisiana 70116
7 days a week.
The By Any Means Necessary, the Hard Eight group exhibit is the first annual group exhibition that will be held yearly at my gallery. Every year I will showcase 8 artists that in my opinion embody the elements of a great artist making even greater artistic contributions. Artists creating, no matter what the situation or living conditions. When painting is your life blood and without it there is nothing else to live for. This event will serve as a catalyst for the rebuilding, rebirth and renewal of the art scene in New Orleans. The artists were chosen by me because they represent the renaissance that is occurring throughout the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. New Orleans is the newest hot spot for contemporary art. New York, London, Berlin and Los Angeles have been the focal point of many collectors for years but it's time to add New Orleans to that list. It is here where contemporary art's newest art stars are emerging. This exhibition will also mark to birth of a literary magazine called Art Voice which will be an exchange of dialogue between artists on their vision, opinions and their work. I look forward to seeing you all October 13 for this monumental ground breaking exhibition. Please feel free to contact me at 225 302 2081 if you need any further information. Best Wishes,Terrence Sanders
Desiree Dolron cerca animasDesiree Dolron exhibition to open at Suite
The second exhibition at new Wellington gallery, Suite, is about to open this Thursday, October 11, an exhibition by internationally renowned photographer Desiree Dolron (born Haarlem in the Netherlands , 1967). While Dolron's work is well represented in major collections around the world (including the Solomon R. Guggenheim and Buhl Collection in New York, Victoria & Albert in London, Stedelijk, Amsterdam and Museo Nacional Reina in Madrid), this will be the artist's first exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere. The works in this show are from Dolron's Te e di todos mis sueno / I give you all my dreams (2002) series, the result of four months spent in Havana photographing the poorest areas of the city. The atmosphere of these luminously clean and coloured prints is one of mystery and silence, as if time had magically stopped. The eerie images includes those of sitting rooms, schoolchildren, a library, a ballerina, classrooms, kitchens and the back-streets of Havana and its bay.
Suite is located at 69 Owen Street , Newtown , Wellington . Regular gallery hours are Thursday - Friday 11am - 5pm and Saturday 11am-4pm. Viewing can also be arranged by appointment and online at: www.suite.co.nz
