“There’s a structural problem with performance art, not having anything for sale. OK, so there’s ephemera, but that’s not considered high art-you’ll never sell ephemera for anything significant. Although, you can go to the other extreme, like Marina Abramović, where you make amazing work to then go the lowbrow celebrity route. But you have to get paid from somewhere. It’s like there’s Marina and Tin Sehgal, and then there’s no more money left. “aAmelia Abraham, “Ron Athey Literally Bleeds for his Art,” Vice 24 September 2014
