    In a radical gesture Sarah Meyohas drew on the New York Stock Exchange. Subverting the market for art, she bought and sold stocks not to make money but simply to move the stock performance line where she wished. She then redrew the resulting lines on white canvases at 303 Gallery.

    Meyohas identified Neuromama in Jan 2016, and moved the stock by 13%. Six months later, the SEC halted trading on the stock, which had swelled to $35 billion due to insider manipulation. Life imitates art!

  • "I agree with the possibility of making art that doesn’t make people feel good because there are a lot of things not to feel good about, right? And there are many ways of being radical and one way of being radical is to protest the system. The other one is to fully embody it to the point that it is inescapable that this is the way things work which I think the motivation behind all of what you’ve done. Whether you get there or not is a whole other set of issues. But, you know, capitalism is the ultimate abstraction. There is nothing more abstract than capital. It’s consequences are highly unabstract. But the way people who play this game play it, they are engaged in a higher level conceptual abstraction that many people simply don’t want to understand. It’s not that they can’t, it’s that they don’t want to. And I think essentially what Sarah has done, coming out of the financial world, is to try to give a variety of statements or forms or iterations of that so that people who don’t want to look at this, will."
