Today was billed an “exchange auction,” which was really just another way to get people into the space. Actually, at one point I did want to hold some kind of auction, hoping that at this point I would have an excess of copies. Instead, I have had plenty of orders to fulfill, and so all my time has been devoted to finishing those.
Andrew, Greg and I had a discussion about the exhibition. This was recorded, and once its posted on iTune U (I think), I’ll post the link. Andrew asked us questions about the drive towards exhibition, about archive, and about our practice.
Some people did come in and make exchanges. Buzz Spector arrvied with a great piece based on Magritte’s eye, for which he received a copy of the Magritte in the collection. He ordered another copy, of the Ed Ruscha book, for which he will exchange another work he has based on Ruscha. Feresteh came with a painting by Lance Winn. In that small world way, Buzz also knows Lance.
