I think this combines the best of minimal conceptualism
into one succinct performance/installation/video work,
suitable for Beaconization (DIA Beacon has TWO gigantic white rooms with gorgeous wood floors which show Carl Andre's work to good effect -- review and photo
here):
Schitt Fling
- Obtain 666 1oz gold coins (note that is about $900K and weights 42 pounds);
- Stand in the middle of a large empty room;
- Spin around with your eyes closed as you fling the coins in all directions;
- Let visitors walk on the coins;
- Sell editioned copies of the performance video in the gift shop.
It is perhaps conceptually necessary that this activity NOT be performed by the author. More in keeping with local art budget scales, e.g., for Santa Fe's
Muñoz Waxman Gallery at the CCA, one could produce
Schitt Fling Etude by replacing the gold coins with new US "silver" dollars.
