""It is high-quality coffee. I have one a day but maybe today I need two. It is a whole ritual," Sachs says. "The mezcal is 43% so it's not that powerful. What's dangerous is that it goes down easy, so watch out!" Sachs is showing a selection of 30 ceramics inspired by chawan (Japanese tea bowls), which are artfully displayed on shelves built from found materials."
"The taxi man is none other than Mark McGowan, a minicab driver whose performance art pieces are part of art world legend-who else would push a monkey nut along a road for seven miles in protest at student loans? McGowan's subverted Daily Mail works are turning heads, with headlines plastered in white across the pages. "I'm not sure why I'm here, I might pack up soon," McGowan said when asked about taking part in Minor Attractions."
Tom Sachs operates a working coffee and mezcal bar at Thaddaeus Ropac during Frieze week as part of A Good Shelf, serving high-quality coffee and 43% mezcal. Sachs exhibits a selection of 30 ceramics inspired by chawan Japanese tea bowls, displayed on shelves made from found materials. Sachs describes a morning ritual of touching clay between the subconscious state of dreams and the liminal state of waking, aiming to exist for moments before language. Mark McGowan, performing as Artist Taxi Driver, shows subverted Daily Mail pages and racy works at Minor Attractions, attracting visitors with bold headline interventions.
