    "There are no tyrannies that would not try to limit art, because they can see the power of art. Art can tell the world things that cannot be shared otherwise. It is art that conveys feelings."

     - Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine

    We went uptown and let us tell you, it was fantastic, 1982
    Jan Fabre
    Performance , 2 evenings a week

    22.2.1982
    New York, Park Avenue

    In collaboration with friend and artist Anson Seeno, Fabre makes and signs small drawings on dollar bills. He tries to sell these and bags of salt as visual art works to passers-by. This performance touches upon the value of the artist’s signature. 

     

    'It's really great doing things without planning them.
    Just for fun.
    Today I did a performance with Anson Seeno
    on Park Avenue (Uptown).
    We set ourselves up at a table outside a bank.
    We signed packets of salt and 1 dollar notes
    and tried to sell them.
    Didn't sell anything, but had a fantastic blazing
    argument with a group of sometimes
    10 to 15 passers-by on the miraculous relationship
    between capitalism and art.'

    (Jan Fabre, New York, 22 February 1982)
