Remember me? Of course you do, I’m the one flooding your inbox with as much as one email a month. These emails are usually worthy of perusing because they contain vital statistics all about up and coming artists and how they relate to me: the
Unitard.
Well, sorry, but I’ve got nothing vital or useful this time, just this:
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008, is a day of reckoning. For, on that day, the world’s eyes will close and its brown eye will open, releasing one of the foulest, funkiest and all around fabulous spectacles that its citizens have never seen.
That spectacle is:
“…more like a fart gallery”
To all those who noticed that I have no business involving myself in the art business, this one’s for you. I have no idea what I’m doing, but so far that hasn’t stopped me from doing it (and it shouldn’t stop you from coming to check it out). So I pulled together my post-its, called some old contacts and secured a guest curator: Murphy Hogan. He’s the man, period. So, will you be able to acquire moderately priced fanciful art stuffs that are going to accrue so much value that you’ll be able to trade a doodle for a house on the beach in a mere matter of months? Of course you will, that kind of thing is a guarantee, and now it’s in writing: buying work from this show will make you a millionaire, it doesn’t matter if you actually like the work or not, that’s not a priority. There will be nothing here to make you smile, laugh or even say anything at all. The only option is a slow stroll with a learned nod, followed by the transferal of bank funds into the overflowing Unitard coffers. The coffers are actually being lined with engraved platinum in Belgium this week, so payment for work from this show is encouraged to be made in South African Krugerrands.
Originally, Cezanne, Cy Twombly, Basquiat, and Francis Bacon were booked for the show, but they pulled out early or something. Instead, I found a few guys and a girl that have enough different hair textures and nose shapes to mold into a rock and roll band that will tour the country and release a video of their travels through Criterion in late 2008. I recommend that you catch them now, because all the tour dates are already sold out. Keep your head up lil’ momma.
+There will be free whisky all night courtesy of our friends at Bushmills!
So come get your drink on.
