THE ECONOMICS OF ART<br />
The recent election of Donald Trump has<br />
exposed the flawed system of capitalist<br />
economics that has plagued the U. S. and<br />
negatively affected the rest of the world for<br />
over a century. POLITICS AND GREED<br />
have merged <strong>to</strong> suggest that all goods and<br />
services should be privately owned and sold<br />
<strong>to</strong> continue <strong>to</strong> protect the fortunes of a very<br />
small number of greed mongers.<br />
Examples would include the take over of<br />
public utilities and infrastructure such as<br />
electricity, roads, health care, and now,<br />
the completely incompetent, Betsy DeVos,<br />
Trump’s Secretary of Education is suggesting<br />
that education should be privatized <strong>to</strong><br />
make her wealth, and that of others in her<br />
one-percent category increase their wealth<br />
on educating the populace. These are a few<br />
examples of where economics have corrupted<br />
needed services and is attempting <strong>to</strong><br />
encroach on other areas of social need.<br />
Art and artist have been influenced by the<br />
economy for at least 3 centuries. Before<br />
the 1800’s art as a commodity was different<br />
than it has become in the modern era. In<br />
the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance<br />
art was commissioned by a patron<br />
who paid the artist <strong>to</strong> create a work of art.<br />
The patron controlled the subject, the materials<br />
that would be used, and how the work<br />
would look.<br />
creative innova<strong>to</strong>rs and thinkers and some<br />
of this identification began <strong>to</strong> attribute <strong>to</strong><br />
them during this period of his<strong>to</strong>ry. However,<br />
it was not until the <strong>19</strong>th century that<br />
visual artists began <strong>to</strong> attain the star status<br />
that some artist such as Picasso, Andy Warhol,<br />
Jeff Koons and others have gained.<br />
Art is not just a commodity <strong>to</strong> be bought<br />
and sold it is an understanding, a participation,<br />
and an appreciation in the activities<br />
of life. Uffe Elbaek, the former minister of<br />
culture in Denmark stated this very clearly:<br />
“We need new ideas, we need new ways of<br />
doing things and we need a whole new way<br />
of aproaching each other with much more<br />
empathy and understanding. This means<br />
that.... society really needs <strong>to</strong> focus on the<br />
world of art and culture as a vital s<strong>our</strong>ce<br />
of not only solutions but of ways of finding<br />
solutions...and a whole new concept of<br />
what life really means.”<br />
No one is born with greed, prejudice, bigotry,<br />
and hatred, these are learned behaviors<br />
that can be either advanced or continued by<br />
politicians and people of influence or they<br />
can be rebuked and rejected. Artist of all<br />
categories can and do influence the positive<br />
aspects of life and society, they need <strong>to</strong> be<br />
recognized and supported for their contribution<br />
<strong>to</strong> a better society.<br />
Questions, Comments, Suggestions, contact<br />
- adamsartexpose@gmail.com<br />
This isn’t what you would call creative freedom.<br />
Today visual artists, unless they specifically<br />
work as commercial artists, paint,<br />
draw, what they are paid <strong>to</strong> create. During<br />
the Rennaissance the artist was seen as a<br />
craftsman, who worked with his or her<br />
hands. Artist wanted <strong>to</strong> be considered as<br />

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by jersey Shore<br />
The day after I turned eighteen I kissed<br />
the folks goodbye, got on a Trailways bus,<br />
and headed for the big bad apple. Because I<br />
wanted <strong>to</strong> be a Rockette.<br />
Let’s get one thing straight. I never heard<br />
about the Red Shoes. I never saw the Red<br />
Shoes. I didn’t give a fuck about the Red<br />
Shoes.<br />
There was this girl in my home<strong>to</strong>wn Luella<br />
Hyner, she had actually gotten out. She was<br />
a Rockette. Well, the big day finally came<br />
and I get off the bus and my little white<br />
shoes, my little white dress, my little white<br />
tights, and my long blonde hair. I looked<br />
like a fucking nurse.<br />
Well, I got <strong>to</strong> Radio City and I would dance<br />
rings around the other girls and find myself<br />
in the alley with the other Rejects. This<br />
man asked if I could do fan kicks. I could<br />
do terrific fan kicks. The problem wasn’t<br />
the fan kicks, it was my looks. So I said<br />
fuck you Radio City and The Rockettes,<br />
I’m going <strong>to</strong> dance on Broadway. Broadway<br />
same s<strong>to</strong>ry.<br />
I also s<strong>to</strong>le my dance card one afternoon<br />
audition, and on a scale of 10, they gave me<br />
a 10 for Dance and 3 for looks. Well!<br />
Peace, Love and Looks,<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />
I’m currently in Tampa, Florida for a meeting of the<br />
Democratic Municipal Officials Board of Direc<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />
When this meeting was booked, who would have<br />
thought we would be in path of a summer s<strong>to</strong>rm, let<br />
alone Hurricane Irma!<br />
We are continuing <strong>to</strong> do <strong>our</strong> work and meeting with<br />
the Mayor and Councilmember’s as they go about<br />
the work of preparing their city for any possibility.<br />
It has been interesting <strong>to</strong> see how the city get’s ready<br />
for a natural disaster. At least here, unlike New<br />
Orleans or some other city, they seem <strong>to</strong> be ready<br />
and know what <strong>to</strong> do.<br />
I guess the test for me will come if my flight can still<br />
get out Sunday morning. If not, I will be riding out<br />
the s<strong>to</strong>rm in my hotel room. I’m on the <strong>23rd</strong> floor<br />
so flooding isn’t really an issue but you can imagine<br />
other issues that may occur. No other flights available<br />
out of city. The one option I was given was <strong>to</strong><br />
rent a car - drive 7.5 h<strong>our</strong>s <strong>to</strong> Pensacola and fly from<br />
there. That just didn’t make any sense. So here I am.<br />
I may have some interesting s<strong>to</strong>ries <strong>to</strong> tell after this.<br />
In the meantime, we are seeing more dysfunction<br />
out of Washing<strong>to</strong>n. The President is all over the<br />
place. Continuing his assault on immigrants and<br />
LGBTQ folks. Also continues <strong>to</strong> undermine his<br />
own Republican partners. One does wonder how<br />
long Speaker Ryan will stand by him. It does seem<br />
as if he has <strong>to</strong>tally allowed himself <strong>to</strong> become 100%<br />
subservient <strong>to</strong> the whims of #45.<br />
Members of Congress (on the R side) are beginning<br />
<strong>to</strong> announce their retirements. I believe it is eight<br />
so far. More are expected. No one on the Senate<br />
side has made any announcement but that may be<br />
coming soon. Things are pointing for the Democrats<br />
<strong>to</strong> take back the House if they are able <strong>to</strong><br />
recruit solid candidates.<br />
York while we are here at this meeting as their elections<br />
are coming up soon and will have full slates <strong>to</strong><br />
review in November when we meet again.<br />
Mid-Oc<strong>to</strong>ber the Democratic National Committee<br />
will be meeting in November and doing a full<br />
review of the Congressional landscape and what we<br />
will need <strong>to</strong> do <strong>to</strong> take advantage of these opportunities.<br />
We also will be discussing the continued<br />
resistance <strong>to</strong> the President.<br />
His legislative program is going no where but<br />
administratively and executive actions are frightening.<br />
Total roll back of Obama era actions and even<br />
much more reactionary.<br />
We are very fortunate <strong>to</strong> live in California and <strong>to</strong><br />
some extent sheltered, but his activities will affect<br />
us as well as <strong>our</strong> fellow Americans across the country.<br />
Today he even has changed Justice Department<br />
positions in c<strong>our</strong>t on protections for LGBTQ people.<br />
It is essential that we remain vigilant and resist<br />
ALWAYS. We cannot be lackadaisical and say oh, I<br />
don’t like that person or that candidate so I will sit<br />
out the election or think that <strong>our</strong> vote doesn’t matter.<br />
IT DOES MATTER.<br />
Y<strong>our</strong> involvement is critical. Y<strong>our</strong> vote is critical.<br />
Y<strong>our</strong> donations and volunteer time is critical.<br />
That’s it for this week. Rise up and RESIST!<br />
