I am curious why one would consider a policy statement a 'diatribe.' As an
adult, I will come to my own conclusion about the content. I take this to
be an exhibition statement or section there of. I can make a decision
based on the information provided. And if requested, I would be sent or
faxed a copy on museum letterhead. That should suffice for
authentification. And who's signature(s)? All of the artists exhibiting?
