> ME VS. BEAUBOURG ! htttp://www.fredforest.org/proces
> By sueing the Centre National d'Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou, the
French artist Fred Forest wanted a trial for an example. To have been
dismissed by the Conseil d'Etat doesn't matter, as the aim was to denounce
the lack of clearness of both Beaubourg and the Institutions as far as
trading of Modern Art is concerned, to denounce them for not following the
contents of the 1978 law about clearness of public accounts. By refusing to
give these informations, they are causing the problem of the opacity of the
public power, and they are leading to fall apart, and they deprive citizens
of their legitimate right of controlling the use of their money, that is the
public money. It is a
> trial for the citizens, with symbolic signifiance, as the involved artist
is not defending his own interest.

> Such a situation is not honourable for us, with regards to our foreign
neighbours. That's the reason why I, as both an artist and a citizen,
solemnly appeal to the socialist minister who is currently on duty for
deciding arrangements as soon as possible to make up for that serious attack
on Democracy.

this site, tells the assault course, the judicial events and the critical
point of view that the artist is exposing with invigorating eloquence and
humour about the official circles of the contemporary art.
