A flawed, slightly fatalistic look at the history of American art during booms and busts. Something to think about and decide for yourself. Ultimately, having some perspective on all this shite is important. As people who make culture, and consume it.
This subject came up last night at my local bar, the Uptown. I was chatting with Brion Nuda Rosch, artist and bartender on Monday nights. I fessed up to making work specifically for the Miami Art Fair one year. Brion mentioned bending his art production schedule to be timed with Portland's Art Fair. Not that there is anything wrong with it, with art fairs, with selling work. More an acknowledgment of the reasons that we make art, and the factors that go into those decisions. By the way, I didn't sell a single a single piece from my Miami series.
