Some artists devote themselves to the search for beauty and meaning.
Andrew Kromelow , on the other hand, seeks a good bootleg mash. Kromelow has set up a portable moonshine still in the back room at Luhring Augustine , the Chelsea gallery ordinarily known for its shows of blue chip art. Called Poor Boy Country Club, the thing is replete with crates to sit on, a case of plastic cups and 3,200 National Geographic magazines to afford visitors the opportunity to travel the world while sipping his hooch. Made from over 100 pounds of sugar and some lemons, at 170 proof this medicine is smooth. The wreckage of the 1976 Camaro is complete, a shell of the automobile it once was, fast and styling with an eight-track stereo blaring Steppenwolf .
