Artful Happiness

Artful Happiness
Be happy that you are not in Jail
If you are in jail, be happy that you are not in Solitary
If you are in solitary, be happy that you are not Dead
If you are dead, be happy that you are not in Hell
If you are in hell, be happy that it feels like Summertime
-Dr. K

The opening reception for the wizard of transformation and transitoriness, Dieter Roth, was held at their 18th street gallery on February 25, 2025. Alongside Islandscapes, this was an early look at the bar as an extension of the bar as an installation. How peculiar to drink and eat at a bar created by someone who made art with decaying food.
