Dear Mr. Naftali and Mr. Green, Ms.
Naftali and Ms. Green, Mr. Naftali and Ms. Green, or Ms. Naftali and Mr. Green,
Sorry
friends, but we don't even know your sexy sex or sexes. Maybe it will show you the gap between the
people selling the art and the people making it. Between you and us. We tried to talk to you about our work two
years ago at your gallery, but you just kind of laughed and said, "No, No,
No! are you crazy? This is not how you
do it. This is how you do it: come to
every opening, be nice, make people like you, and eventually they'll say: 'Are
you guys also artists? What kind of art
do you make?' etc."
But
that's not our way, oh no, we are like two casual horses grazing in the
pasture, hoping someone will come and ride us hard. After all, who is going to like a shy, mean looking Scandinavian
and a much too tan and friendly Californian boy? We think it's time for the New York art world to globalize and
respect our cultural differences, show some worldly manners. "Politically correct? Just right."* Anyway, we took some of your advice to heart. We're not writing you to ask for a
show. We just wanted to give you a logo
we made as our little way of saying, "Let's make peace, let's start
communicating again."
Necessity
is the mother of all creation,
A.K.U.S.A.
ps. Thanks for all your advice and
stuff, it really got us thinking.
