Wells Tao My sad experience of him... realising that all universities act like they are private institutions, and none of the employees, nay the super minority consistently speak out as employees on behalf of democracy. Bad here in NZ, where Uni's are mostly paid for by us taxes, but completely way worse in the US. Ausie's pretty bad, most uni's assume the right to your work, as comercial property before you can even sigh on to a contract. No negotiation? I don't know... don't see it, don't hear about it, don't exist. Am I painting a picture here?

Wells Tao 1968 to 2008? Or something... uni employment. AND world renown conceptual artist. He, and the rest of the fake elite, the fake Art Aristocracy, all practice capitalism, by staying silent about their positions, not vigorously promoting it as you would do any other heavy sponsor of your life style. And legal mandate ( to accept a public role as critix and conscience of society.. here in NZ, but you'd never know it. ) Nah, but yeah, cushy job, wish I could have those ours. Get paid for making and teaching art. Paper work, bureaucracy, normal democratic institution stuff, you know.. the job. Get angry with people who think that sounds like a great job, and notice how while complaining you have been publicly making yourself visible while doing so. You're just complaining to me. As if I was your boss. I am, but is it my job to tell you your job? You were employed because you know what the job is! Fake socialist capitalists! Out of our universities, our high places of learning, take back that which can be used to defend Democracy from the tyranny and hegemony of capitalism. NOW!

  Wells Tao You know the evidence, it's stacked against him. A case could be made, a legal case. But so could others, thousands of them. We've been betrayed by our public institutions of high learning, they have abandoned true learning and a practicing democracy. Let the bell ring with the sting of this knowledge, may it sing, until this changes.
  
  "John Anthony Baldessari (June 17, 1931 – January 2, 2020)[1] was an American conceptual artist known for his work featuring found photography and appropriated images. He lived and worked in Santa Monica and Venice, California.
  
  Initially a painter, Baldessari began to incorporate texts and photography into his canvases in the mid-1960s. In 1970 he began working in printmaking, film, video, installation, sculpture and photography.[2] He created thousands of works which demonstrate—and, in many cases, combine—the narrative potential of images and the associative power of language within the boundaries of the work of art. His art has been featured in more than 200 solo exhibitions in the U.S. and Europe.[3] His work influenced that of Cindy Sherman, David Salle, Annette Lemieux, and Barbara Kruger among others.[4][5] "
  
  here's his intro on Wikipedia, the most likely public platform where the ethics practice there could note how important his Academic sponsorship was too his work, his teaching, research, the feedback, needs to close the loop.
  
  In this wake by trial, of the memory I have of a dead white conceptual artist who'se gentle face was my favorite work, I hold him, my ancestor in field, accountable, to the massive failing holding you and all of our elk, holding your contributions to ransom, to highest bidder. You have played nothing but perpetuating capitalism and for this crime, you will be like the others.
  
  We have drawn a line. We are looking for those who have truly crossed. The artists that are socialist, practicing socialism. I need to find you. I am trying some stuff out.. experimenting. Here we go.
