Slog - Comments on Your Cultural Bill of Rights http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/your_cultural_bill_of_rights For weeks I've been soaking up Bill Ivey's new book Arts, Inc.: How Greed and Neglect Have Destroyed Our Cultural Rights. Cultural rights, you say? What are those? Exactly. It's a book you want to pick up (and at Powell's it's only $16.95). I've written about it here. For more natural linkage between art and politics, see Modern Art Notes's series this week on contemporary art and the American flag, which also has its own gallery (that you can add to) on BuzzFeed. My favorite of the images up now is by photojournalist Todd Heisler. Remember this one?...

I was going to post a link to this American flag art, but I can not get that photo out of my mind.

I'm just saying...
