Oliver Ressler, Martin Krenn, "Dienstleistung: Fluchthilfe/Border
Crossing Services", Edition Selene, 52 p., ger./engl., ISBN:
3-85266-186-2, 2002, EURO 8,00.-
with contributions by Gerald Raunig, Carsten Does, etc.

The European Union member states' restrictive immigration regulations
mean that there is almost no chance to legally migrate to the EU and
reside in a member state. For those who want to enter, making use of
border crossing services is often the only possibility for penetrating
"Fortress Europe."

The publication documents and discusses the project "Border Crossing
Services" by the artists Martin Krenn and Oliver Ressler, which was
realized in form of an exhibition in the "Kunstraum L�neburg", a video,
and a direct mailing with the title "Neues Grenzblatt" (New Border
Paper) in the Austrian/Slovenian border region in 2001. The goal of the
project "Border Crossing Services" is to redefine and highlight the
positive aspects of terms such as "smuggler" or "trafficker" which have
been given a negative connotation through the dominant medial discourse.
The publication includes a copy of the "Neues Grenzblatt" which was
realized in cooperation with anti-racist groups and migrant organizations.
