A Plea To The Community

I went by my instillation this weekend (for you who havn’t seen it yet, it'll be up until Gallary Night later this month. Its in the eight large picture windows on the east side the Jouranal Sentetial building on 3rd Street in Milwaukee, a block away from where the bridege is out!) and was shocked to see a couple of fresh bullet holes in the glass! This is supposd to be a town that SUPPORTS the arts, but I dont know that youd call shooting at it soupporting it. Maybe that’s why they made those wings on the Art Museum close, so it’ll protect the museum from gunshots!

Next to one of the bullet holes was a lot of dried blood, on the sidewalk and splatterd on the window even. It looked like someone was EXECUTED in front of it! I find this entirley inappropteate. You woudnt execute someone in front of the MONA LISA would you? Well… maybe you would. But anyway, people of Milwakee, PLEASE stop shooting at my art! Just because you might not understand it, or not like it, thats no reason to SHOOT at it!!!
