Dear Art World: Artist's Statement
"I just got out of my car on Bastille Day July 14th 2016 and put on my art cap and made a contract with myself that I would get involved and insert myself into this situation and what ever happens is the art. I am way past thinking that art is something square on the wall. Art has always been about life and the human condition and this is where I am in my art making. The trial date landed on February 22, 2017, Washington's birthday, so I knew that Mount Rushmore was watching. " --Gene Elder

Lesson learned:
"I learned that officers can reach in their Trick or Treat bag and indiscriminately use an available terrorist device called Resisting Arrest. A serious charge I discovered. Luckily the police patrol car camera showed that I was being shoved by the officer so I was found innocent. Officers can accuse anyone of this and get away with it because victims would not know how to defend themselves and the officer knows this. And it is used just that way and for that very reason."
