Art Basel Miami is one of the largest gatherings of commercial galleries and collectors in North America.  Art is stripped of all its context, integrity and meaning and sold for pure profit and or as a way for collectors to find the next hip thing. Most artists hate being there for this depressing process but are dragged down by our galleries or go to support friends who get completely depressed by this process. This year while there, I went into a bathroom at a bar where artists where meeting and took out the liquor advertising ads on the back of the bathroom door and replaced them with my own ad about drawing. It was an attempt to both play with the ideas of illusion found in drawing and a way to parody what drawing is at the art fair, a slick commercial product.  The Absolute bottle and the toilet where both chosen for their art historical references and a nod to one of the artists I believe had the greatest artistic responsibility, Duchamp. The bar was chosen to remind my peers why we where all there in the first place, to toast our lifestyle and support each other, despite the evil of idea’s bought and sold.
