The one and only artist that I'm embarrassed to have owned work by. Gladly got rid of it.

It would be inappropriate for me to converse with you about it and then post a summary here. This is a public forum after all, just let us know.

I'm not interested in discussing our business decisions in public with strangers. My advice would be to email Cope and express your concern. You may not appreciate his comments but the reality is those are his comments and not ours.

Blackbook Gallery at Scope, by Ottomatik on Mar 8, 2014 18:19:34 GMT 1, Actually, 'the reality is' the decision to sell the work of cope through your gallery not only sheds negative light on your gallery, it does the same to Scope.
To sell the work of an artist is to represent/endorse the artist.
I just hope no one spends $4,500 on a 30x40inch red cope tag. You could pick up 2 unsigned Banksy prints instead...
The possibilities are endless.

So are you giving the other galleries in Scope showing his work a hard time or just us because we share info on the board?
We can't be responsible for every word every artist we work with chooses to speak. If you don't like how we are doing things please just ignore us, this business is tough enough as it is and we are not looking to make enemies or offend anybody.
If you still have concerns call me at 720.254.3978.

Blackbook Gallery at Scope, by Poster Bob on Mar 8, 2014 18:38:06 GMT 1, This is part of joining a public forum. I've provided a link to an article on his comments below. Perhaps you'd like to look at it, Cope2's posts and then rethink your response. If you would like to post a link to any other thread about a gallery which also continues to sell Cope2's work I would happily ask them the same question. I find your response to be very disheartening. I wouldn't associate myself with racists or homophobes by choice in my daily life, neither would I do so in business.

Honestly, I don't find myself actively looking for cope pieces that are available.
I'm not aware of other galleries selling cope pieces @ Scope.
However, maybe your gallery could start an example by not selling his work.
I'm aware of business being tough these days in the USA.
However, you could have opted for 2 Supine pieces for the show instead of the cope piece. (You would have made more cash from the second Supine as well.)

He basically a nasty little Banksy fanboy who is constantly being banned from the forum for his nasty little outbursts. It doesn't matter what username he hides behind he'll always be a nasty sad little lonely goblin.

Sweetcorn, why are you busting Otto's balls? If you've got a view, express it in public as Otto has. Everyone's opinion is valid, and I think it's quite right that artists should carry themselves better, especially if they are having their own success.

Out of the blue.
I've not had any exchanges with him.
I do think he needs a time out for a week or so, that kind of behavior should not be here, or accepted.
I'm shocked that any adult would use such a hate filled word.
I'm kinda at a loss for words, and believe me, that doesn't happen often.
I feel strongly that his action is a 'big deal' and should be handled appropriately by the mods. If there are any around.

I'm sure things will be addressed. There's no place for this sort of behaviour, public or private, on here.
Ps- what does chopsy mean? Is it a British slang term? Chopsy means chatty, as in your talkative. Not too sure if it's a British thing per se. I'm sure things will be addressed. There's no place for this sort of behaviour, public or private, on here. |

I have no need to send a response to him...
However, as a gay man, it is beyond my comprehension to ignore the fact that he called me a faggot.
The coward needs discipline to make him aware that it is not appropriate or acceptable behavior.
I'm not posting my thoughts to have members rally behind me. However, I thank you all for you kind and supportive comments.
Also, Black Book, I'm sorry for posting all this on your thread. However, maybe this can enlighten you to the power behind such hate filled homophobic remarks.
