"If I had a couple bucks to buy a book, I
wouldn’t. I’d buy some beer."
- Malibu
surfer in Life magazine, 1957
Milwaukee, WI.
Good business is not
the best art, drinking beer with friends is.
But Andy didn’t like
to drink beer.
Jasper drank
beer.
So did Jackson.
Nancy Holt shot some
film of Robert Smithson drinking a Pabst at Mono Lake, so what does that tell
you?
Drinking beer is good
but it isn’t business.
It may be the exact
opposite of business.
Beer is
conversation.
Business is
negotiation.
Beer is use
value.
Business is profit
margin.
Beer is
generous.
Business is
not.
There is a lot of
talk these days about art business.
This is a show about beer.
