7 Which artists would you most like to rip off, sorry, I mean appropriate as a critique of originality and authorship?

None, they’re all overrated.

8 Do you care what your art costs? State your reasons!

love/lust

A pint of Guinness would be nice.

13 If Moma and the Tate and the Pompidou wanted to acquire one of your works each, which would you want them to have?

I did a drawing about the Metropolitan Police “curating” the Richard Prince show in Tate Modern so maybe Moma could have that one.

The Tate and the Pompidou can have what they like, I’m not fussy.

………. bless themselves.

15 Complete the following sentence “Blessed are the curators, for they shall…”

……… organise the blessings.

16 Complete the following sentence “Blessed are the art critics, for they shall….”

……… be bitter they couldn’t create anything themselves.

Roquefort.

Bare Bones shows at Envoy Gallery in NYC, June 29th and at Function 13 in Toronto in September.
