"There we were emerging into the contemporary, with this goddamned incredibly expensive car,completely twisted on current events, no cash, no market viability and no chargers. And on top of everything, a ten car pile up of missed calls. We’d been in the Catskills for long enough for people to notice we weren’t at work."

Make Spiritual America Great Again Repatriation Project In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In art, things that are considered especially heinous are kitsch. The story you are about to hear is true: in 1983, in New York City, Kimberly Skeen was Kim Fine when she was set up, conned, living with the kind of man who could find the only mouse hole in Mar-a-Lago and use it to fuck the world and running a shell gallery out of her apartment: Spiritual America. The door code is “Testimony”: “It hit me like a rock: Richard and I were at the Met looking at photographs when I saw it. “This is it! This is the name of the gallery!” And so I talked him into understanding that not only thru the lens of my fascination with religions and how they organize people, but the America of that moment in all it’s twentieth century glory of and maddening addiction to consumerism, war, mutually assured destruction, vulgarity and de sensitization that had creeped into every facet of how we dealt with one another….that photograph said it all. To me as a horse lover, to me as a keenly aware and highly charged young, single woman, bound and yet not bound by convention, free yet constrained by a culture that had not caught up to me, and lastly….we stole the title of Steiglitzs’ photo, just like Richard stole the photo of Brooke Shields by Gary Gross. Just like Gary Gross stole her incandescent beauty to make a book of what could only be described as kiddie porn. Just like America stole the idea of freedom and self determination to go into the business of being at war. Spiritual America. It was pretty straightforward and there it was, just waiting for us to use it and so we did. “

"Art Boy 2: The Undead" is a home movie for the New York art world that tackles big questions. What is art? What is it for? What happened to the avant-garde? Is progress in art desirable or even possible? And what does "society" have to do with all of this? The live event screening of "Art Boy 2: The Undead" is followed by a discussion moderated by Caesura magazine. The movie features contributions from Victoria Campbell, Rafael Foster, Aaron Lehman, Chris Mansor, Clint Montgomery, Sean Tatol, Olivia van Kuiken, and Allison Hewitt Ward.
