Lot Essay

'I chew the gum. Well, I pay people to chew the gum. Students get 50 cents for each piece. Then we take the gum and make it dirty with street shit. I want it to be both elegant and real.'
(A. McEwen, quoted in 'Interview with Christopher Bollen', Interview Magazine, reproduced at: http:/ www.interviewmagazine.com/art/adam-mcewen/#_).
