thanks to everyone to came out for a most triumphant show in new york, i had a great time. hope you did too.
we'll do it again someday. reaction was good and bad but mostly good, so i'll leave you with a little good.
"Fearless and talented, he's one if the most amazing contemporary artists living today. Like it or not..."
and a little bad
"i met you very briefly at the show on saturday. just a hand shake
and a congrats. i was very much looking forward to seeing your new
work as i have been a fan of it for sometime, and have always liked
reading your thought processes and interviews.
i gotta say, in person...i don't like you at all. you're definitely
a dick. and i can say this because you don't give a fuck anyway. i
was watching you around all the "art fags", the ones you keep saying
are the ultimate fuckers and couldn't give a shit about (whether they
laid down the cash, or not)---but that's bullshit, because you love
it.
you know. my old boyfriend is a very successful artist---and he was
a stalker too. and after many years of being this super dick, even
the audience got tired, and his peers as well. and he is 50 now, and
lonely as hell although he will never admit it.
i'm don't know why i am telling you this shit, because if you are
anything like him...it won't get through anyway. but you are young,
so maybe not so stupid.
humility is a good thing sometimes. it will center you when you are
about to drop off the other side of nothingness.
i look forward to your continued work."
