Artwork Story
Donated to Laguna Art Museum in 1999 as one of 109 works
Exhibited Laguna Art Museum 1998-9 "Life Lessons: How Art Can Change Your Life"
Judith Spence
Baldessari was invited to teach in Nova Scotia and sent this as an exercise when he couldn't be there himself. The students covered the blackboards. This is funny, but underneath, it's also the scary truth about how easy it is for the best intentions to turn into their opposite.
