50 Should Statements

People got very Freudian when analyzing the paintings, but that wasn’t what I was doing. I said “No, no, I’m just showing things relating to other things. ‘Accident, Argument’, get it?” I realized I had to shut down these reactions and make it very clear. But people would still say “oh it’s very funky”, which was code for ‘Californian’, and if you were a New York artist, you didn’t really want to be Californian. That was the kiss of death.

4:20PM-5:00 PM

For the love of the Sea Sea

Alexandra Leon

Shipwrecked in an aquatic triangle fiction made by Columbus, Ohio, rapturously banal late Capitalism and dark web Christopher Columbus tube porn, an increasingly hysterical and dazed explorer, Sea Sea, descends into rum-fueled fantasies and regales the void with amateurish auto-psychoanalysis that doubles down as historical analysis. A performance, with objects.
