Lowell Darling received over 60,000 votes in the Democratic Gubernatorial primary in 1978. This incredible response to the candidacy of an artist whose campaign consisted of promises to, among other things, make parking meters pay out money to encourage people not to use their cars, remains unexplained to this day. Darling, the conceptual artist who previously worked as a Hollywood Archeologist and Director of the Center for the Study of World Problems, is finally ready with the answer. In The Campaign Tapes (1980) the artist presents a compilation of his media coverage and his own aesthetic propaganda. Also in the program are selections from Darling's earlier works, including the Cauliflower Alley Tapes. Darling will be present to autograph copies of the memoirs of his campaign entitled “The Sound Of One Hand Shaking” (which Harcourt Brace Jovanovich is releasing this Fall).
