AMERICA'S GRAVE US DAT: "In advance of the fall midterm elections in November, the US Department of Art & Technology (US DAT) announces plans to lead an ambitious artistic response mobilization. America on the Brink: A Political Exegesis Under the Aegis of the US DAT, will be open to public viewing at the ATHICA: Athens Institute for Contemporary Art from September 9 - November 5, 2006, in Athens, Georgia. US DAT participation will confront the dangerous collapse of the separation of church and state in America, which Secretary-at-Large Randall M. Packer believes is leading us steadily down the path to Armageddon. According to Packer, 'the frightening, apocalyptic conditions we see today are expected to worsen as the Far Right Christian Fundamentalists carry out a desperate last ditch effort this fall to save the crumbling, scandal-ridden, fear-mongering, bible-toting, born-again wing of the Republican National Party - the biblical prophecy fulfilled. For the exhibit Packer will oversee a large site-specific installation consisting of America's Grave, a symbolic burial site for the nation; End of the World Headquarters, an information portal and urgent fact-finding mission to chart the End Times; and the Situational Tours: USA Bible Belt, weekly video dispatches from the Secretary-at-Large, reporting on and documenting extremist religious activity and cultural divisiveness to track the nation's descent into perilous days that lie ahead." 11:15:06 AM
