Starting bid: $1,130.00 - Green Party Aotearoa New Zealand Dunedin Greens Art Auction Dunedin Greens online art auction Vote Box Poster, by Tao Wells Screen print, 1 of 10 - censored

 


Description

Tao Wells has received international recognition for his approach to the economic systems that underlie the normalisation of inequality. His work has been recognized by the well-known critic and writer Chris Kraus, here quoted in his  Wikipedia site: “In her book Social Practices (Semiotext(e) Active Agent Series, 2018) Kraus revisits Wells’ work and praises it, “Wells reads deep into all the games surrounding cultural and economic life… he endeavors to put on the table all the business conducted underneath the table, exposing it to public view.”[12] In a review of that work, Brooklyn Rail highlights the central role of Wells’ practice, describing it as illustrating “how bound activism and art have become, doing what traditional activists’ tactics alone could not.”[13]” — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tao_Wells

This vivid image combines graphic clarity with a text synthesising the capitalist logic of the past two decades.
