    Rangituhia Hollis Should also include the cost, tofu is cheaper right? I'd rather have a bigger feed that cost less.

As one of the women chiefly responsible for the imposition of neoliberalism on the New Zealand people, many would argue that prison was fitting.

I'm thinking of writing a novel. I'm already effortlessly, 10 pages in. And I mean effortlessly. It's an all out attempt at everything. It will be grostesque and incredibly beautiful, and unintelligable, profound perhaps, I mean there will be an attempt to make it lucid and coherent. Very ambitious not just for itself but for the future of the modern form of destruction on the generic forms available and seen as nessesaryily important enough to engage in, through usage, becuase of the shear numbers involved, or the appearnces of, since these platforms are also arenas' where viewing is bought to perform as much as the show brought them to be viewers. The appearnce of numbers, like the way a school was suppose to appear, empty except for those burning at both ends to light up the world. THe rest of us are busy living doing the other stuff. Now everyone drinks coffee like their invention is going to switch on the better light bulb. When they miss the point that there's no such thing. It already has been perfected, you see it everywhere. Your version will no better this one, only possibly replace it. You can't say that humans are automnatically assumed their higher rung on the eveloutionary ladder, as if higher mean t closer to something important, cause there isn't any thing higher that is intrinsicly more important. At all. SoHumans are higher than animals, than the ape, and yet ape lived in harmony with the earth a lot longer. But then who's to say harmony is a goal? Why should it be. Who's reality are we privlidging when we follow a rule. Those that also follow this rule. But there is also the breaking of that rule, and the relative consequnces in that the break creates the audience, those that notice that a line has been both drawn and broken. A moment had been defined, relative to it's own articulation. Hence it was both cut adrift, and nailed down to the floor, the architecture in the dreams mind of architecture being something you stand on. Said, Jeremy to his friend Sid.
This is going to be the next bit in my book. This facebook ad. At only --- words, this page will be a tad smaller. I don't always fill a page right to the top. Just for the odd dramatic slope.
So I was wondering who out there would give me twenty cents to read another page?
AND fuck u if u donut like my spelling.
Tao Wells ( I appear as one of the characters in the book I'm writing ) It's based loosly on an idea of me, that may or may not be true. But I'm using.

Tao Wells launches new Easier artist publication - Press Release Audio




A glossy new 72 page publication by Tao Wells, co-published with New Plymouth's Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, celebrates the artist’s creative out-put over the last 30 years. Designed by Carla Schollum of White Fungus renown,

EASIER includes texts by the artist, Laura Wells, Murdoch Stephens and new writing by American author, critic and filmmaker Chris Kraus (author of the acclaimed novel/memoir I Love Dick [1997]).

EASIER documents Wells’ work as an artist from the late 1980s until today, a career encapsulated in the national attention received for The Beneficiary’s Office, a 2010 performance co-produced in Wellington between Letting Space and the artist’s own public relations agency, the Wells Group.

EASIER contributor Chris Kraus praised The Beneficiary’s Office as “a work of genius and New Zealand’s most scandalous art work ever” and “Bigger than Virgin in a Condom, more controversial than et.al’s Venice Biennial’s Fundamental Practice”.

EASIER surveys this moment and the wider field of Wells’ work including a pointed argument detailing New Zealand’s largest ongoing art fraud and a practical new economic solution to capitalism and being a capitalist – personal relationship co-ops.

 Publication commissioner Simon Rees, writes in the forward to EASIER, “… Wells pitched himself at systems and systemic culture. Reading this publication you’ll figure how lonely he and his art were. Then he conjoined and co-produced a nuclear family”.

Launch event

EASIER will be launched by the artist in Wellington at McLeavey Gallery (147 Cuba St) on Friday 10 August, 4pm to 6pm. Dunedin based Wells will be in attendance and complimentary copies of

EASIER will be available. About Tao Wells Tao Wells was born in the United States and raised in New Plymouth. He studied at the University of Canterbury and Wellington College of Education before teaching at Massey University. He was involved in the establishment of Enjoy Gallery, Wellington, and is a previous exhibitor at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery (most recently, Mostly Harmless, 2006).
