Conceptual art piece, Ken Larsen's Thesis, Art and the Bourgeoisie

Conceptual art piece, Ken Larsen's Thesis, Art and the Bourgeoisie, a hand-calligraphed dissertation presented on ribbons attached to a sunhat, and read aloud to his thesis advisor, Bruce Hackett in J St. Park, Sacramento, CA, May, 1984. I got tired of Ken's procrastination, so I interviewed him, and then distilled the dissertation down into a dozen threads. Bruce read the entire dissertation aloud. It took us several walks around the park to complete the process. Ken got his MA. Wish I had a copy of it.
