I'm going to say this as plainly as I can. If you're using your position in the art world to make unwanted sexual advances toward young female artists, you're not a gatekeeper of culture. You're abusing your position of power. And if you're standing by watching it happen because someone has influence, money, connections, or the ability to advance your career, you're helping perpetuate the problem. Art is supposed to challenge the world, not provide a safe haven for the people exploiting it. As a father, a husband, and an artist, I refuse to pretend this is just another controversy that will blow over in a few days. These women deserve to be heard. They deserve to create, exhibit, and pursue their careers without having to navigate the sexual expectations of men who hold influence over their opportunities. And when multiple women come forward with similar experiences, the response should be to take them seriously, not circle the wagons around someone's reputation. I don't give a shit how important you are in the gallery scene. I don't care who you know, what you've sold, or how much cultural influence you've accumulated. None of it puts you above accountability. If we want to leave our children a better world, we have to be willing to make the one we're living in uncomfortable for people who abuse their power. Silence protects the status quo. And the status quo needs to change.
