Balancing:

Family and friends, working for living, living for making art, thinking art.

Duchamp was able to devote his life to thinking art; no family, no job, no Income Tax, no internet. A $1.00 plate of spaghetti a day. He said, "Fifty years ago we were pariahs. A young girl's parents would never let her marry an artist."

In 2014 artists are educated as artists; in schools, by other artists, and by themselves.
They are an upper class, a middle class, a working class, a working poor.
Famous. Famous for being famous. Not famous.

The readings of Fanny Howe, Gertrude Stein, and John D. MacDonald that inspired the show are about working and living. We are interested in other artists who make work that comes directly from the observation and place of their complex lives. Taylor Davis, Judy Linn, Thomas Nozkowski, Patrick Purcell, Tracy Miller, Allyson Strafella, Joan Miró, and David Smith (because we were not able to borrow work, we have included snapshots) do this work in a tough and absolute way.
