Chicago

Swim Cafe now has the Work on display. Let us hope that this time no one throws coffee on it again or sends me angry e-mails asking me to 'go home.'

Many thanks to curator Andy Freivogel for all the wine and PBR's.

The Pig




LIBERTY IS NAKED.

Does it bother you to see her naked?

I’ll ask this again at the end.

I admit that it’s disturbing.

It’s like seeing your own mother naked.

It’s unsettling.

Disgusting.

Offensive.

Uncouth.

Unpatriotic?

She is nevertheless very naked and you may say to yourself that her nakedness is shameful.

Clothe her, you may say.

Cover her so that she cannot be taken advantage of.

Cloak her so that she cannot be ravaged.

Wrap her to keep her safe.

Sadly, that is the reality of the world.

Another reality, one in which is clearly defined, is that we should recognize Liberty as not at all a right, but a possession.

And it has always been this way.

Your liberty in question is only about as much of a right to you depending on ‘X’ people in power at ‘X’ time in history.

It is a continuous unending struggle, a violent struggle, and if we were to stop struggling, we will no longer have liberty but instead despair, greater inequality, poverty, death, and destruction.

So I say, for our greater well-being, for a world where such aforementioned events should never transpire, one thing must be very clear between you and I – that the idea of liberty, the liberty of man, should never be concealed.

Liberty must be open.

She must be transparent

She must be uncloaked.

She must be totally observable.

Who can snatch her and deny her existence to us if she is there for all to see?

Liberty, you see, must and forever become completely and utterly naked.


Does it bother you to see her naked?
