Evils Unleashed – Chapter 21
The California Arts Center (CAC) Board Meeting
Bette: Provocations is intended to do just that; provoke. It is daring it is intense and it is the edge that we have been looking for and with a little finessing it will be the CAC’s Spring exhibition.
Franklin: Isn’t that our slot for the Impressionists?
Bette: Yes but we’ve shown “Impressions in Winter” for the last five years in a row. I thought this year we’d wow them with something different.
Xandra: We can’t move the impressionists; everybody loves the impressionists.
Bette: Well the impressionists not withstanding you hired me to create a new profile for the CAC.
Now the Provocations exhibit will put us on the map. It premieres at MONA in New York and after the CAC it moves on to the Walker and then to London’s Tate Modern.
Franklin: OK let’s assume for a moment that we were willing to forego “Impressions in Winter” despite the fact that it’s our most popular exhibit bar none for this cause celebre out of New York. What makes you think you can procure it for the CAC?
Bette: Well I’ve set up a meeting with Gina Ferrara who is the curator of the Peabody collection. I know both MOCA and LAC are after it but I’m completely confident that I can talk …
Franklin: Bette it’s obvious that you’ve gone to a great deal of trouble to prepare for this presentation but it isn’t worth the risk; “Impressions in Winter” is too important to us.
Bette: With all due respect Franklin, if I’m not the one selecting the shows then I don’t understand why I’m here.
Franklin: To do what’s best for the CAC. I would think that would be fairly obvious. Now what I need you to do is to follow-up with Sheldon Tomlin to iron out the details. We wouldn’t want one of our rivals running off with “Impressions” because we were a little slow on the uptake would we?
Bette: Wait … wait … wait … sorry follow up? You booked it already?
Franklin: I happened to have lunch with Shelly last week and I thought I’d save you the time. Well everyone thanks and how about thanking Ms. Porter for all her hard work. Good job.

In her quest to acquire PROVOCATIONS little did BETTE know she would lose her greatest acquisition:TINA.Quitting her job she never thought that it would lead her to abandon the job she loved most:being with BETTE. Overall the ppl in season 1 was conflicted with their feelings ,denying how they felt towards others and yet continued with the bad behaviors.BETTE/TINA have shed the tears,fought the good fight and now burned the memories of their hurtful past.Things are beginning to look good for them except TINA needs to send HELENA to the ”bitch be gone store”to find something that she doesn’t have:morals.ijs. thanks
I agree completely with you!
And Bat, i enjoyed this trip down memory lane, god they all were in a bad place in their lives.
Thanks for the update!
Very good! “Provocation” be compared with the opening of the box
Pandora, and evil that caused the life of Bette and company, exemplified everything.
The Greco-Roman mythology is rich in teachings.
And only the “Hope” remained in the box.
My Congratulations Bat !!
The complete constellation.
