Adieux a vous
Ben & Jasper
DIY
By Dan
Do it yourself. DIY. The rallying cry of the Capitalist eighties, a time
which defines global existence now.
Go to the big DIY warehouse anytime of day or night Sundays etc., 24 hour
shopping and work for some, economies of scale, reduced expertise,
destruction of neighbourhood stores, end of artisans, and pick out something
to improve your house, growing capital, gentrifying ghettos, growing the
middle class city. Spend hours wandering the aisles zombie like looking for
a low-paid usually ignorant employee, not a member of a union, apolitical
hoping to own an house themselves oneday. Find a nail in the haystack, in a
packet of seven ludicrously marked up at £3.99, sell the big stuff cheap
make the profit on the small bits you need: razors and blades. Pay with your
credit card with money you will never have, low interest rates, consumer
credit boom, cheaper mortage payments. Bust it home in your car full of old
McDonalds wrappers and toys. Do it yourself, no help from your too busy too
selfish friends or family, alienation, no society, no value except for good
value for money. With your autodidactic skills do it, break it, install it,
put it together with the instructions written in 7 langauages and
pictograms, global economy, sweatshops, bad workmanship. Grumpy yourself,
bark at your girlfriend, shout at your dog, kick your shoddy walls. There it
is. Done it yourself. Another .01% value added to your domus, inflation,
calvinism, nearly time to move up the ladder find some more chains. DIY.

Christies Contemporary Art Sale 2002 big tent near Hoxton London
By J
A lot of paintings, installations, and photographs shabbily sitting around
in a basement with price tags by them. Graveyard and junkyard spring to
mind. A Chris Offili is chained to the wall to prevent it falling off its
dung balls. A Tomoko Takahashi installation will need careful transporting
to the lucky buyer. Red and white walls and dark carpets and salon style
hanging mean that each work must fight for itself unsupported by pristine
clarity.
Doig, Peyton, and Offili are expensive painters. Photographs estimate high,
100,000 pounds for a Rineke Djistra of which six were made. 30, 000 pounds
for a copy of sam taylor woods video cassette and an out of date projection
system. 20, 000 for a big Fiona Rae, they're laughing at her now.Prices seem
to have been assigned by playful gods. 20 of one, six and a half dozen for
another. It feels like the party is over, read all about it in the art
press, this is where it gets nasty kids. Well groomed collectors in gray
living in Switzerland will have to enjoy less leisure and shopping for a
while. Tightening their snake-skin belts and dumping some of their junky art
in the cellar 'til the shit falls from the fan. The artists will starve and
default on their mortgages.
