New York Police Department Spokesman Paul Browne said the explosion was not terrorism. “There is no reason to believe whatsoever that this is anything other than a failure of our infrastructure”, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a news conference at the scene of the blast.… the explosion was most likely caused by the introduction of cold water into the pipe… Sixteen people were taken to Bellevue hospital including the person who died, two severe and the remainder suffered minor injuries, he said.

BLAME CANADA will be on view at Peres Projects (26 Schlesische Strasse, Berlin) in our new first floor exhibition hall, through Nov. 10, 2007. The new space is located across the street from our main venue, and will serve as an additional space for large scale installations and group shows.
