Reply #48: Mark Lombardi's "Social Networks" perhaps...

[Octafish]

Another homerun, Swampsy! You've created a symphony of treason with that painting. May it one day soon be used to illustrate the criminality of an indicted class of supercriminal.

I don't care if I get fired: That's my new work wallpaper, taking the place of a Tanguy. Sneer, Smirk, TIA Chertoff, Long Dong Clarence and Rev. Badmoon look good -- No. They ALL look bad -- as in bad bad.

Here's the wallpaper I had on for months:



george w. bush, harken energy, and jackson stevens
c.1979-90, 5th version, 1999
graphite on paper
20 x 44 inches



george w. bush, harken energy, and jackson stevens
c.1979-90, 5th version,
(detail)

One brave fellow. A true patriot. A good man.

Mark Lombardi: Global (Conspiracy) Networks

      Mapping criminal corporate-government connections is a dangerous occupation. Exposing the players and their front companies is even more hazardous. These are the subjects of Mark Lombardi's art -- the hidden global realities of money and power. His artwork, literally as well as figuratively, connects the dots of international high-level white-collar crime networks.

      Lombardi's drawings are mandalas of conspiracy, flow charts of shady deals and shaky agents, and org charts of world-class con men, revealing the genealogy of wickedness in the highest places of corporate and government power.

      "Mark Lombardi: Global Networks" is a traveling exhibition of 25 drawings, some as large as 4' x 12,’ organized by New York-based Independent Curators International (ICI) and curated by Robert Hobbs of Virginia Commonwealth University. In graphic terms, the drawings document the major financial and political frauds of the late 20th century. They are flow charts of illicit money and power, solid and dotted lines and curves as well as broken arrows denoting the flows of illicit financial operations and covert revenues.

DECONSTRUCTING CRIMINAL CONNECTIONS

      One of the drawings called "George W. Bush, Harken Energy and Jackson Stephens, ca 1979-90" (1999) shows the connections of James Bath, a former CIA spook and business broker, front man for Saudi money who connected the Bush Family and Bin Laden Family (of the Osama bin Laden/ 9-11 legend) in shady deals in Texas and around the world.
