  David Hammons Bliz-aard Ball Sale 1983

  a performance piece in which Hammons situates himself alongside street vendors in downtown Manhattan in order to sell snowballs which are priced according to size. This act serves both as a parody on commodity exchange and a commentary on the capitalistic nature of art fostered by art galleries. Furthermore, it puts a satirical premium on ‘whiteness’, ridiculing the superficial luxury of racial classification as well as critiquing the hard social realities of street vending experienced by those who have been discriminated against in terms of race or class.

  Last night I participated in the annual C Magazine benefit auction at MOCCA (Museum of  Contemporary Canadian Art) here in Toronto. I was delighted to discover that Micah Lexier won the bid for my photograph. Micah is a prominent Canadian artist who I’ve admired from afar for a while now. This is a great article about his work from the Walrus.

  Thank you Micah!

  Simple in construction, yet profound in context, How to Make a Happening is Allan Kaprow delivering 11 rules on how, and how not, to make a “Happening” - a movement begun by Kaprow in the late fifties that is known for its unpredictability, open scores, and constantly-evolving form.

  Guy Debord, “A User’s Guide To Détournement”

  […] Since opposition to the bourgeois notion of art and artistic genius has become pretty much old hat, [Marcel Duchamp’s] drawing of a mustache on the Mona Lisa is no more interesting than the original version of that painting. We must now push this process to the point of negating the negation.[…]
