Where Is the Art World Wikileaks?

Some of us have been thinking the same thing, where is the art world wikileaks?

Since the art world depends on tight-lipped kowtowing to the power$ that be, I can’t think of a field that needs a “Wikileaks” more than the art world.

The recent Los Angeles MOCA censorship story regarding the Blu mural must have a paper trail somewhere or at least information that has not been made public yet. I’ve been calling and emailing MOCA for two days (Friday and Monday) and I haven’t had a single response from my queries. Others have told me their experiences are identical to mine. Something is rotten in the state of Deitch-mark and we want to know what that is.

And as Barbara Kurger reminds us in one of her pre-digital pieces, “Your comfort is my silence,” and we don’t want the powers that be to be too comfortable now do we?
