Thinking economically means that the space and people around you must be part of the work. Finding a place and adapting is a huge part of the work. The exhibition is called Economies of Scale and was the making of content for a book. The book as the catalog for the exhibition as the photo shoot for the book. The lecture, a talking and sometimes reading and sometimes a watching, as the text for the book as the documentation of the transcript of the lecture. And these are photos on a website, which are other things entirely.

I'm trying to do things for real. I regularly think about the validity of work as a question of being real or not. Unreal art is identifiable by its immediate disappearance upon leaving an art space.

This exhibition is the fifth instance of The Station. Exhibition spaces are typically thought of as a place to show results, but the Station proposes the exhibition as a space of production, which is to say the work in its present state, live and on the spot. The exhibition is the work rather than its viewing; no longer a funeral home but a living room.
