Gast ART beiter

The work is based on a detailed calculation of how much money has been spent on my career between the end
of 1990, when I started traveling for shows, conferences and residencies, and February 2000 when I participated with this work in the show “Worthless (Invaluable)” in the Moderna Galerja, Ljubljana by an invitation from Carlos Basualdo, the curator of the show. The calculation includes all expenses known to me (based on documentation
I have saved in my files) that the organizers of the events I was invited to had to deal with in order to have me. These include tickets, hotels, per diems, as well as some expenses for catalogues and installation. The total amounts to roughly half of what was actually spent because I have neither data, nor knowledge about a lot of details and expenses. The total, of roughly $ 115, 000 for nine years, does not include any sales of art works!
