Attorneys in Freedom Industries bankruptcy: 'We just can't wait any longer'

Posted on by

Lawyers for Kanawha Valley residents and businesses pressed Thursday for some action to free up $3 million in Freedom Industries insurance money, a move they said they hope will help compensate victims of the January 2014 Elk River chemical leak and allow attorneys to begin pursuing other litigation over the leak.

About 20 lawyers representing various groups of leak victims said they want the companys insurance payment so that money can be split among their clients right away.

Nitro lawyer Harvey Peyton said he has clients who are small businesses that lost what to them were significant sums of money because of the Freedom leak and the resulting water crisis.

Weve wasted a year now, waiting for this to be resolved, Peyton said. We just cant wait any longer.

Peyton was among the lawyers who turned out for a court-sponsored meeting in which Charleston lawyer Jim Lane, a court-appointed claims manager in the Freedom bankruptcy, was trying to gather views from various parties to assist U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Ronald Pearson in finding a way to resolve the bankruptcy proceeding.

With no clear plan for bringing the case to a close, Pearson set up but did not attend Thursdays meeting at the federal courthouse. Pearson has scheduled a hearing for Tuesday to hear a report from Lane and consider proposals for a path forward.

In a memo distributed at Thursdays meeting, Lane noted that Freedom has about $1.5 million in the bank but owes lawyers and environmental services professionals $3.2 million for work performed since the company declared bankruptcy. Freedom also owes various vendors and other parties about $6 million in pre-bankruptcy bills and 3,800 claims filed against Freedom over the chemical leak total about $200 million, Lane said in the memo.

Charleston lawyer Bill DePaulo questioned when someone involved in the bankruptcy perhaps the appointed committee of Freedoms creditors would begin pursuing investigations and potential lawsuits to recover more money for the bankruptcy estate, perhaps from former corporate owners and managers, some of whom are now facing criminal charges.

If part of the judges question is how do we cut the pie, another question is how big is the pie? DePaulo said. We need to be aggressively pursuing assets.

So far, no legal actions on behalf of the bankruptcy estate or creditors have been take concerning potentially fraudulent transfers of Freedoms funds or against former company officials over their management of the Elk River chemical operation. Such actions have basically been frozen for months, with the courts informal approval, while officials focused on cleanup of the Freedom facility, located just upstream from the regional drinking-water intake. Criminal charges filed against at least one former Freedom official Gary Southern allege that Southern tried to cover up his role at the company to protect his personal wealth from the bankruptcy case and civil lawsuits filed over the chemical leak.

Learning the Lessons of Art Freedom at Garage

Posted on by

Vladimir Filonov / MTThe Grammar of Freedom / Five Lessons exhibit is put together with the help of Ljubljanas Moderna Galerija.

Freedom is onthe curriculum atthe Garage Museum ofContemporary Art with "Grammar ofFreedom / Five Lessons," anexhibition based around five ways oflooking atart's role inthe search forfreedom.

TheGarage museum incollaboration with theModerna Galerija inLjubljana, Slovenia has put together anexhibition that shows work bymore than 60 artists andart collectives. Themain part ofthe exhibition is made up ofworks fromthe Arteast 2000+ collection, brought over fromSlovenia.

Thethemes ofthe lessons, said Snejana Krasteva, one ofthe curators forthe exhibition, are strategies common toboth Russian andEuropean artists: "What is interesting is tolook atwhat is similar. Even if people don't speak thesame language."

"These [art] forms have emerged ina very different context thelack ofan art market meant that people had different motivations fordoing art," said Krasteva.

TheArteast 2000+ collection was thefirst museum initiative tofocus onthe postwar avant-garde Eastern European artists inan international context. Inturn, theGarage exhibition is afirst forRussia. "This country has never had anexhibition that considers Russian artists inthe context ofthe Eastern European scene," said Kate Fowle, chief curator atGarage.

Oppression, lack ofinfrastructure andCold War tensions are afew ofthe "parallel legacies" that Russia andcountries ofEastern Europe enjoy, Krasteva said.

"This lack ofinfrastructure andlack ofsupport encouraged artists toengage inself-organization andassume therole ofart institutions," Krasteva said. This was particularly true inthe Soviet Union, where, unlike their Eastern European counterparts, Soviet artists had almost no contact with theWestern art world. Tight restrictions onthe postal service inthe U.S.S.R. limited correspondence andexchange ofideas. Lesson four inthe exhibit "The Practice ofSelf-Organization as Resistance" comes out ofthis isolation.

Theexhibition opens with the"grandmother ofperformance art," Serbian artist Marina Abramovic andher 1974 performance "Rhythm 0" as thefirst subject in"Lesson 1: TheBody as aTool forLiberation." Inthe original installation inGalleria Studio Morra inNaples, seventy-two objects including aloaded gun were laid out ona table touse as theaudience wished onthe body ofthe artist. This lasted six hours andended with theartist holding agun toher head. "That was theheaviest piece I ever did because I wasn't incontrol. Theaudience was incontrol," Abramovic once said.
