Steve Kurtz is cleared!

Happy news today comes from Artvoice. Artist Steve Kurtz has finally been cleared of all charges following his Homeland Security nightmare. Kurtz was the subject of a 2007 film titled STRANGE CULTURE which played Sundance and AFI FEST. It told the story of how after his wife tragically died in his home from a medical conditon, paramedics alerted police to "suspicious materials" they saw in Kurtz' home. Kurtz is an artist and his projects involve petri dishes and other non-harmful scientific materials. His work is well know and highly praised often dealing with such complicated issues as bio-engineered food. It was a long and trying journey for this man, I hope he can finally find some peace.

My dad came to this screening at AFI FEST, he dozed off a little bit during the movie and then had the gall to ask questions during the Q&A! The nerve!
