...must rejoin the discussion. The secretive and stand-alone style the University has preferred over the years has produced a lamentable history of failed community relations in Cambridge, Boston, and elsewhere. By turning its back on the Charlesview project it has privately engineered, Harvard risks another iteration of that sad pattern. We ask President Faust and all our Harvard neighbors not to let this happen. Let’s reopen the conversation on Charlesview, and this time take a larger view of how this relocation could benefit us all. Let’s work together to design a new community...

He is merely another in a sad and long string of con men who found a gimmick and capitalized on it, suckering those wannabes who are more interested in bragging rights than promoting a fresh, honest talent in the art world. Dead animals preserved in formaldehyde and a diamond-encrusted skull - is this even legal? Spin paintings done by studio assistants - give me a break; kids...
