They failed to oust US military forces from Guantanamo Bay by assault- ing them with Beethovens Third Symphony (The Art Newspaper, January 2006, p32) but, undaunted, the Danish artists group Parallel Action is turning its sights on Iran, with the aim of instigat- ing another cultural revolution. Headed by Thomas Altheimer, a former actor, and a colleague who goes by the name of Nielsen, the duo has received funding from the Danish Arts Council to travel to Iran this October. There they plan to engage in con- versations and debates with other artists, students, clerics and activists. The group says it plans to spark a Second Iranian Revolution using the secret contents of a metal box, previ- ously used in a similar project in Iraq during the lead-up to the elections in January 2004. There, the box was meant to hold Democracy, but its new contents will only be revealed when the box is opened in the streets of Tehran. The project is the result of a series of discussions in March in Washington, DC, at think tanks and diplomat- ic organisations such as the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Brookings Institute, and the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, followed by meetings with govern- ment officials from the National Security Council and the State Department. Altheimer and Nielsen vowed to suspend future attacks on Guantanamo and take care of Iran, if the US would pledge to shut down its detention facilities in Cuba. This bargain seems to show some results now, says Altheimer, referring to comments made to the press last month by the US State Department spokesman Sean McCormack that at some point in the future, wed like nothing better than to close down Guantanamo. If his particular brand of art Parallel Action at Brookings, the oldest think-tank in the US Art or publicity stunt? Unilever withdraws gay art sponsorship COPENHAGEN. Unilever, the Anglo-Dutch company that makes Omo washing powder has withdrawn from a spon- sorship deal with Danish artist Flemming Rolighed, fearing he would present them as anti-homosexual. The company had announced it would give him 70 packages of Omo for a work of art. But, the artist says that having seen what I made with other brand names, the deci- sion was reversed. Mr Roligheds work has included a piece in which he changed the brand name Cocio, a choco- late milk drink, to Cock and Toblerone to Tobehomo. We were afraid, that he would create a piece that would make it look as if the multina- tional Unilever is prejudiced against homosexuals, said brand manager Gitte Matzen. Their suspicions were cor- rect: the artist purchased dozens of boxes of the washing powder, which he piled in a phallic tower for a display in Aros Kunstmuseum in Aarhus; each box was labelled Homo. Ms Matzen denies that Unilever has problems with gay people. We are living in the 21st century and we all have to wash our clothes, she says. Commenting on Roligheds work of art, she said: He got his PR stunt. Clemens Bomsdorf Ho-ho: Homo Omo art
