  • Uncivil Obedience Lowell Darling Follows the Law
    Uncivil Obedience Lowell Darling Follows the Law Monica Steinberg My tax problem is my work. I have always considered bureaucracy one of contemporary society’s highest art forms; and being an artist I naturally turned to red tape for material.1 —Lowell Darling The Gubernatorial Campaign “Let me be your governor, Darling.”2 On Valentine’s Day, 1978, artist Lowell Darling (b. 1942), speaking from a podium in the sculpture garden of the Berkeley Art Museum (fig. 1), announced his intent to seek the Democratic Party’s nomination for governor of California, challenging then incumbent Governor Edmund Gerald “Jerry” Brown—a Democrat who entered office in 1975. Here, Darling presented his political platform, “The Inevitable Campaign Slogans & Promises.”3 He vowed to solve unem- ployment by hiring state residents “to be themselves for the state of California,” such that Governor Brown would be hired to be himself and continue to perform his guber- natorial duties; and since everyone would be employed “to be themselves” (i.e., “self-employed”), all expenses would be tax deductible.4 Darling even pledged to abolish taxation altogether by turning the state budget over to Reverend Ike, a promi- nent televangelist who preached the blessings of material prosperity and was credited with performing monetary miracles (taxes would be unnecessary if one could manifest money out of thin air). Pollution would be solved by converting parking meters into slot machines (paying motorists to park their cars instead of drive them) and by replac- ing internal combustion engine cars with psychic-powered vehicles. To ensure political transparency and lawful practices at the highest level, Darling promised to establish a Presidential Television Network (PTN).
