Where's all that really moody art, about relationships, with narratives, that leap out and cut your throat, leave you laughing with the moon beams sickles sheaf the world, there's the tortured soul, just behind the work, peaking out, screaming into their work their fuck up's like they're trying to warn someone, cause it's too late for them, painter (! ha!) and it's just entertainment, but there's all these clever weaving's of ancient tales woven through such forms... isn't there.. hello? Does anyone get my work? 

(Afghan Whiggs, Shellac not your Tom Waits light weight cutie sickness Wellington boho dullards)

I might as well tell ya, that I'm curating a show, opens Xmas day, at Maryhill Scout Hall, Dunedin. You are invited to send in a work. I 'll accept anything with your name on it. There's an R18 or with parents written consent, side of the show, some of my work is extremely in this way.. and there's a family show. Free entry just like DPAG, ONLY BETTER cause my show is openly and as a matter of course anti-captialist, since they/ you pay my bills, this shared wealth tax, pro democracy anti capitalism, strictly, vigilant democratic socialist promoted.

There's another twist. The show opens this month 3pm Christmas day, Tuesday 25th and 26th only. A Wells Group Publicity campaign of hand delivered leaflets to the surrounding Maryhill and Mornington area, and if council approve the funding, a major A0 poster campaign, saying just these rules, Title of the show: Better or Equal. Rules of the show: Come see my show, if you can do better or equal, any of the works I will stand your work next to the one in question. Thank you. The show is only two days long. You need to be kind of quick, or organized, or both. With the response.

I've got some of the big names in contemporary NZ art, local, national and internationally. My self having recently been super featured smack in the middle of international super Babe Chris Kraus's super writing: "Social Practice" most recent tomb of muth fucka living life with criticism, art and life. Two maybe three Walters Prize winners, several historical left celebrities, some rouge elements, and of course you, the random. So go ahead, beautiful, make my day.

Send me a work.

Before the 24th if you want to be in the show. Let me know by the 7th if you want to be in the show, if you want to be on the poster.

Private message me, for more information, any questions.

Wells Tao Yeah, the dream. Open it, eat it. If you want to eat a capitalist shit. Mine is 100% socialist, so if you'r looking for choice, real options, everytime I think. Everytime I move. Everything I do socialist shit. Choose my democratic economic infrastructure over the selfish rich bias. YOu know just the same ol, game bro, sis. Capitalism.

Erika Wolf In August 2016, at an art auction in Milan, one of the tins sold for a new world record of €275,000, including auction fees. The tins were originally to be valued according to their equivalent weight in gold – $37 each in 1961 – with the price fluctuating according to the market.

Wells Tao woopdee do. I don't begrudge the guy for making a buck. What I do object to is his complicit support of capitalism with his undeclared alternative economy. As an artist, as everyone is an artist, each make a life, this failure to declare a differentiation from the default contemporary western economy is annihilation. The instinct for death unbalanced. The mingling of shit with food. An instinct has become preyed upon, to the clear detriment of creativity. The harness has led the horse to a pool of poison. Nothing said. Done.

Wells Tao Clearly i am drawing a line, between him and all artists, all of you, and myself. To differentiate my economies socialism, from your common capitalism. Plus by drawing the line I will have it articulated for me, that which isn't capitalist like me. They will convince me with their lucid, clear rationalizations. And I will be happy to join them, to compete and beat capitalists, at making a profit and spending it.
