While I am promising to do nothing until the California "2/3 vote on budget and

San Andreas Fault and giving the state a tune-up
acupuncture treatment.

FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

Longshot's platform: change state budget process

Marisa Lagos, Chronicle Sacramento Bureau

Monday, February 8, 2010

The last many Californians may have heard of conceptual artist Lowell
Darling was in 1978, when he ran against sitting Gov. Jerry Brown on a
platform that called for "urban acupuncture" to fight drought pollution and
replacing parking meters with slot machines to discourage driving.

Darling lost the Democratic primary. But 32 years later, Brown is expected
to run again. And so is Darling, this time on a single-minded platform:
abolishing the two-thirds majority required to pass the state's budget.

"I used to try and look like Jerry Brown from the neck down - now I look
like him from the forehead up," joked the balding artist, now 67, as he
looked at a wall-size photo of himself from an old news clipping.

"Back then I dressed up like a politician, and Jerry Brown was in on it. I
was out of politics for a while, and I've been trying to figure out what
was the real problem. I've decided it's the two-thirds majority required to
pass a budget. Until they change that, it doesn't matter who's governor
because they can't do anything anyway."

Darling kicked off his admittedly longshot campaign with an art gallery
opening Friday night in San Francisco. Entitled "Full Disclosure," the
exhibit features all of Darling's personal possessions that he has in this
country.

Included in the exhibit at Gallery 16 on the corner of Third and Brannan
streets: a tracing of Henry Longfellow done when he was 4 years old, a
letter to Darling from Norman Rockwell (who was answering an inquiry from
the then-teenager as to why Rockwell's art was featured in a liquor ad),
and a February 1969 letter from the Internal Revenue Service telling
Darling he had not made enough money to be considered an artist under the
tax code (that's how he became a conceptual artist, he says).

Gallery owner Griff Williams said Darling, as always, is playing with
meanings in his show, which will run through the end of March. It's funny,
Williams said, but it's also poignant.

"The notion of the scrutiny of running for public office - he's using it as
an opportunity to present everything he has. It's full disclosure. He's
saying, if you want to find the skeletons in my closet, you will have to
dig through everything I own, literally," he said. "He pulled up with a van
and started unloading boxes."

Darling has been busy since his last gubernatorial bid - he's been married
several times, had two daughters and, of course, done a lot of conceptual
art. He's been living in Europe for the past several years, and when he
came back to California last year, he discovered he's lost nearly all his
investments and savings in the financial crisis.

If he gets through the primary, he'd love to face Meg Whitman, one of the
Republican hopefuls, "who doesn't even vote most of the time," he said.

But most importantly, he wants to focus on the rule he said is hurting the
state more than anything else.

"A vote for me is a vote to get rid of the two-thirds majority, and I won't
do anything until the Legislature figures out how to do that, which means I
will be impeached," he said. "California is like the world - you can't get
two-thirds of people to agree on something. Do you agree with yourself
two-thirds of the time?"
