New Times is retracting the arts story, “Transgender artist Cobi Moules combines 19th century landscape, sci-fi in new Cuesta exhibit,” that was published on March 7 about The Showering of Sparkling Bits exhibit at Cuesta College’s Harold J. Miossi Gallery. The story contained inaccurate quotes and misrepresented both the artist, Cobi Moules, as well as his art, the exhibit, and the gallery. We take journalistic ethics extremely seriously at New Times and believe that retracting the story is the best course of action under the circumstances. New Times will follow up with a new story about the exhibit and the artist.
