...Wolf's self-proclaimed artistic mission was to increase awareness of the AIDS epidemic. Of course, with his bogus claim of censorship, he has most successfully increased awareness of Cameron Wolf, artist and self-promoter...
...staff's blithe condemnation and dismissal of Cameron S. Wolf, ("a self-described artist") and by extension, his work, astounds me. The editorial remains silent on an important issue, namely the outrageous conflict of interest which obtains when a House Artist-in-Residence--who presumably is a practicing artist (the medium is irrelevant) is given substantial power to determine whose work and which pieces will be exhibited...
Although the staff does not say it outright, it implies that Wolf's work is pornographic. Definitions of pornography are tied to community standards. The Harvard community is an atypical one.

This would have provided him with a broader audience for his innovative treatment of an important issue...
