Dear Wells Group,
Art Monthly is publishing a feature in its February issue by Bob Dickinson which looks at the relationship between art and unemployment – both historically and through contemporary works. He discusses the work The Beneficiary’s Office, 2010 and the resulting controversy around the work in the media.
I wondered if you could forward images from the project for inclusion with the piece? I can send a copy of the magazine – or pdf – for reference once we have gone to print with the issue.
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information, or have any problems supplying the requested images,
With kindest regards,
Chris

to Chris
Hi Chris McCormack, I have many questions, but for some reason find myself holding my breath in childish anticipation. Perhaps the article though not talking to the source of the possible content will take a surprising life of its own. In that spirit I offer you a plethora of options, mostly in pairs that I trust you will use wisely.
If you have any questions about the images, please ask. Higher res versions are also available on request.
Thank you for offering to send a copy of the magazine. My address is 337 Higgins Rd. Wakefield 7095 Nelson. New Zealand. I would like a PDF version too, but don't mind buying it.
I return your warm regard.

 When I was a teenage whore
My mother asked me, she said, "Baby, what for?
I give you plenty, why do you want more?
Baby, why are you a teenage whore?"

I said, "I feel so alone and I, I wish I could die"
I've seen the things you put me through and I, I wish I could die

When I was a teenage whore
The rain came down like it never did before
I paid good money not to be ignored
Then why am I a teenage whore?

I've seen your repulsion and it looks real good on you
Denying what...what what you put me through

...of my house...get out of my house!
Get out of my house...get out of my house!

When I was a teenage whore
My mother asked me, she said, "Baby, what for?
I give you plenty, why do you want more?
Baby, why are you a teenage whore?"

I've seen your repulsion and it looks real good on you
I don't want to live what you had...you have put me through
I wanted that shirt and I, I wanted those pants
It's all that I, put me through and I,
I never...whoa!




 Good sister bad sister
Better burn that dress, sister

Scar tissue, blood blister
Suck upon the dregs sister - whoa

.......but I can't and I want to so bad and
I try but I can't and I want to so bad and
I try but I can't and I want to so bad and
I try but I can't and I want to so bad and

Good sister, bad sister
You're different from the rest, sister

Choke, strangle, rip, twist her
Sell me down the river sister - whoa!

.......but I can't and I want to so bad and
I try but I can't and I want to so bad and
I try but I can't and I want to so bad and
I try.. I try... I try...

C'mere and sit talk about it just for a sec',
Boy you sit back down

You're choking on big, black, bloody mouthfulls of it
Left me lying in your dog descent
And choking on your candy flesh

I'll be the biggest scar in your back
Run down it jagged and naked and black
I'll be the biggest dick that you ever had
Hey want it bad hey want it bad you want it

Good sister, bad sister
Tell me what you want, sister
Better watch your back, sister
Even you cannot resist her - whoa

....but I can't and I want to so bad and
I try but I can't and I want to so bad and
I try but I can't and I want to so bad and
I try but I can't and I try..I try

Sugarstar comes down to talk to me
She comes to crucify - off with her dress

I am not your ruby to grease
And sugar comes from her arteries
I'll be the biggest... scar
Run down and jagged and naked.. and blind

I'll be the biggest star in your sky
You want it back you want it back
You want it bad

She is all, she is incredulous
I oil her, campus fool, rips off her dress
She wants you in her descent
Choking on her candy flesh

I'll be the biggest scar in your back
Run down and jagged and make it back
I'll be the biggest dick that you ever had
Hey you want it back you want it back
You want it...




I know it
I can't feel it
Well, I know it enough, to believe it
And I know it
I can't see it
But I know it enough, to believe it

Bet on you, bet on me
My better half has bitten me
To bet on you, bet on me
Oh, sleeping with my enemy

Myself, Myself

The pieces of jennifer's body
Found pieces of jennifer's body
Found pieces of jennifer's body

Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep
Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep

You're hungry
But im starving
He cuts you down from the tree
He keeps you in, a box by the bed
Alive or just barely

He said "I'm your lover, I'm your friend, I'm pure."
And he hit me again
With a bullet, number one
Kill the family, save the son

Himself, Himself

The pieces of jennifer's body
Found pieces of jennifer's body
Found pieces of jennifer's body

Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep
Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep

Now... She's...Mine...




 And I will await your highness
I'm so high I cannot walk
And I will await
You cripple, you take away my time
My peace, my empathy
No babies sleep on atrophy
Your unborn love and fetal stress
Hard bitter candy, legless caress

Go for credit in the straight world
Look a dealer in the eye
Go for credit in the real world
Won't you try?

I got some credit in the straight world
I lost a leg, I lost an eye
Go for credit in the real world
You will die
Yeah

It's the credit in the straight world
Leave your money when you die
Lots of credit in the real world
Gets you high
Yeah

I got some credit in the straight world
I lost a leg, I lost an eye
Go for credit in the real world
You will die
Yeah

watching a car crash on a road full of little white crosses

We might not all walk the red carpet but we all struggle to find a way to feel we matter as we get older. "I'm not a brand. I'm a human being," you said in a tweet not long before you died. The problem was you were a brand, actually. - quote

  • Raylene Christina Beals Egocentric blog page...making judgments are you sure you want to perpetuate this?
  • Rob Ueberfeldt There seems to be a lot of examination within those judgements. It is a very personal article and could be viewed as being harsh, everyone taker suicide in different ways. Deborah tries to give some good answers and solutions which I think is commendable.
  • Natalie Ellen-Eliza "It wasn't just depression that claimed you" - an apt and poignant statement - strength is only so strong - one part amongst many others that makes the whole. Please more with the compassion and less with the suicide and selfish.
  • Grhys Man social media is an extension of high school in many ways,you have to be very resilient to get through the haters,and so many folk rattle off opinion on stuff ya just have to relegate it to online banter and laugh because its not real,and should you meet them as she did,quickly do you realize you have stepped over a line,bullying is not ok but neither are victims that continue without getting help,it takes two to tango and life is a precious gift not to be wasted.
  • Raylene Christina Beals I take it all back it was a bitchy article and I responded to this thread in the first instance because as a suicide survivor and potential depressive and it fucked me off. If you want to slate me for that so be it.
  • Debbie Martin That article was heinous, compassionless and cruel. DCH obviously has no understanding of depression or CDs life and as such shouldn't go there.
    • Wells Tao I think it's an incredible and heart filled piece of writing, one whose difficult and brutal messages could be considered a wake up for many, including myself to consider the pressure on woman and all of us generally by our system of value production. I wouldn't shoot the messenger.
    • Debbie Martin Whatever. As an actual woman, that was a prime example of one woman putting pressure on another woman who was already so broken she had killed herself. DCH's only message to me was that she is a cruel bitch with no sense of sisterhood at all. Happy to shoot that shit.
    • Wells Tao Ok, I hear that, I thought she was writing very much about her own fate.
    • Wells Tao
  • Raylene Christina Beals let the suicide victims be free of our judgements because they have sorrowfully passed the worst and ultimate judgement upon themselves. Anything beyond that is just a mutilation. - See more at: http://thedailyblog.co.nz/.../a-brief-word-on-deborah.../...
    • Wells Tao i couldn't disagree more strongly with you
    • Wells Tao I though the writer was clearly coming from her own perspective and experience with the issues and the fact that she has done so, so personally seems to be her crime. A kind of macho reserved only for men, and only for issues deemed appropriate by Men, the good priests presiding over taste and morality and the expense of an honest heart filled awkward communication. I suggest that if you have to lie, cover up the truth and all it’s splendid colors to have your “dignity in death” you (us) may be more of the problem than appreciated.
    • Raylene Christina Beals Its not a crime, and she writes very well, but if your going to hang your experience on the hat of someone recently deceased from something as completely avoidable as suicide then people will react…. its great that she has allowed you an insight into how woman do tend to suffer more from invisibility as we become older (meanwhile men tend to get rock star status etched in their craggy jowls) but I think she is naive to imply this is what killed Charlotte. As a woman with a wild past fast approaching 40 I laugh at the teenagers who stare right through me with glazed eyes. Born to a macho man, and raised by a single mum I live my truth and will die with dignity when this world decides it is my time x
    • Wells Tao "but I think she is naive to imply this is what killed Charotte" it's a challenge to argue with you when the very title of the piece of writing in question contradicts such a point. But thank you I have appreciated your discussion. Live on!
    • Wells Tao I guess there are just a few people like myself who view capitalism as a major factor in the creation and maintenance of depression. And that celebrities be it All Blacks or Super Models are at best poor spokespersons for this, precisely because of how they represent such a narrow definition of what it is to be ‘successful” in the first place. i understand that Deborah Hill article is upsetting, I just don’t feel you are up set about what is upsetting. Capitalism sucks.
    • Wells Tao
  • Wells Tao 681 Likes for: "Oh Deborah this is nasty. Even in her death you can't control the bully in you. This article says a lot more about you than I think you realise". It depends on whether or not you think the writer IS writing about her self or not. I think it is clear that she is. She certainly refers to "we" enough...
  • Rob Ueberfeldt I would be happy to let CD rest in piece however her internet control ideas live on (unfortunately) and this needs addressing. http://www.stuff.co.nz/.../Friends-launch-Charlottes-Law... if only we could bury Charlottes Law along with Charlotte.

    www.stuff.co.nz
    Charlotte Dawson's friends launch online petition calling for action on online bullying.
    • Wells Tao yeah I was sent this to sign, interesting how the masses rise up with good intention, only to be so long with out a practicing moral or ethical fiber left in their body (thanks free market!) immediately puts that good intent into strengthening the kind of power that is already dominates. Like watching a car crash on a road full of little white crosses.
