I Feel This Today

Having a lousy day. Full of stress. It’s all going wrong.

So, distracted myself by trying to find out how conceptual artists make money, because I have a theory (which I’ll explore in my dissertation about J. Peterman’s Owner’s Manual) which is while the art is enjoyment of the idea, you still have to sell a souvenir in order to make any kind of living with your conceptualness.

Enter Jenny Holzer, stage right.

This work made me laugh a lot. I’m feeling this.
