1. Gaza Beach Art [Austria]
   http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39345
   http://www.gazabeach.at

   Requests 1 XO for 5 months

   Project Objectives:
   Titel:
   Gaza Beach: We Join the Party -- public art intervention
   Background
   On the occasion of Tel Aviv's centennial, the city of Vienna has
   invited the state of Israel to stage part of its celebrations at a
   beach at the Danube Canal.
   Under the title "Gaza Beach -- Life Imprisonment Live", several
   intervention projects will simultaneously be staged in public spaces.
   They are aimed at directing as much attention to Palestine as to
   Israel for the duration of the "Tel Aviv Beach."

   Our project is aimed at helping to create an authentic atmosphere and
   to enable the cooperation between Tel Aviv and its nearest partner
   city: Gaza in a neutral environment.
