Conceptual Pizza Drawing Updates
I’ve had a couple more pizzas for Sol Lewitt delivered to exhibition openings over the past few months (including my first international delivery!)…with mixed results.
First, I was in an exhibition in Cincinnati, called YOU.HERE, which featured my Pizza for Sol project, in which I attempted to have the delivery guy draw a portrait of Sol Lewitt on the pizza box as a reference to Lewitt’s famous “Wall Drawings.”

Then I had a pizza sent to the opening of a Speed Show in Stuttgart, Germany, organized by Aram Bartholl. After hours of googling pizza places in Stuttgart, I think I found the one place that would take “special instructions,” and accept my credit card, and deliver to the show. Unfortunately, the pizza arrived sans drawing on the box. This may have been due to the fact that I typed, “please draw a cat on the box” into google translate and had the phrase translated into German. But when I pasted the German translation into google translate again, and had it translated back to English, I got, “please take a cat on the field.” So maybe, as a result of my order, there is a cat on a field somewhere in Stuttgart; I hope so.
Stay tuned for more conceptual pizza as they are delivered…
