Review/article on Nedko Solakov's Zurich conceptual exhibition devoted to his work languishing unsold in gallery storerooms, where he sent to curator to select them. His conceit as a sort of institutional critique. By putting unsold art, generally disdained as 'crap', in the Kunsthaus Zürich, was he transubstantiating it into 'museum-quality' work? As I wrote: "Brussels dealer Ema Hecey pointed to the often random nature of the art market, offering a list of reasons for works going unsold: The works are too expensive. The works are not expensive enough. The world is not ready for this work. This work comes a bit late. The works have not been presented enough. The work has been shown too often and everywhere. Mars was conjuncting in Pluto at the time of the show..." I loved this show.
