| William Powhida Tips for Artists Who Want to Sell (New and Unimproved) 2010 screenprint |
1. ACCEPT CAPITALISM. YOUR ART IS A LUXURY COMMODITY.
2. TWO WORDS. DIAMONDS + GOLD.
3. VIOLATE STANDARDS. CREATE CONTROVERSY.
4. SHOW THEM SOME SKIN. TITS AND COCKS!
5. REMAIN SEXUALLY AVAILABLE. YOU'RE ON SALE.
6. AVOID 'LABELS'. NO FEMINIST OR IDENTITY ART, EVER!
7. NEVER MAKE THEORY THE SUBJECT OF YOUR ART.
8. MAINTAIN A VAGUE POLITICAL SUBTEXT.
9. DO NOT GET SPECIFIC. THEY HATE THAT SHIT.
10. UNLESS YOU'RE DEALING WITH CELEBRITIES!
11. THEN MAKE LOTS OF SILKSCREENS.
12. PERFORMANCE + VIDEO ARE FOR PORN.
13. PAINT EVERYTHING.
14. ANYTHING LOOKS LIKE ART IN GLASS VITRINES.
15. INVOLVE DRUGS WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
16. LIE ABOUT YOUR AGE. STAY THIRTY.
OR JUST SELL YOUR SOUL TO LARRY.
