Miami Beach artist and City Hall gadfly David Bolger wants
to make sure visitors attending Art Basel see it like an insider. So
the 51-year-old former New Englander has illustrated a 21-page guide for Riptide to
assist wannabe art snobs on how to distinguish a real urinal from one
that is part of an art installation.
Bolger, who
two years ago produced a cartoon newsletter skewering Miami Beach
politicos, also subtly mocks Miami’s guest list party culture and
a few of the city’s most prominent art collectors like Carlos and
Rosa de la Cruz, Martin Marguiles, and the Rubells. On the last page, Bolger includes a
note: “This is a work of art…It’s sole purpose is to amuse. If in
the process, anyone has been offended…all the better…No computers were used in
this production…except perhaps to GOOGLE “Rubell Breakfast.”
