Making Sh*t Up

This film takes you behind the scenes in the timeline of a dynamic and ambitious young conceptual artist, from his "Clearance Sale" of a lifetime's work at ArtLA, to weeks of dispensing therapy at the Whitney Biennial, to a near-death injury on Miami's Biscayne Boulevard and the mindset that followed. Includes detailed on-site action at art installations and performances, with spirited opinions from celebrated artists and art world professionals about measuring the success and value of conceptual art. The film is narrated with spirited, candid commentary by important artists and art professionals such as legendary conceptual / performance artists Marina Abramovic and Vito Acconci on the highs and lows of a conceptual art world with uniquely difficult career choices, by famed New York Magazine Senior Art Critic Jerry Saltz on what is and isn't conceptual art and how Rodriguez measures up, author Steven Henry Madoff about Rodriguez service aesthetics achievements, and celebrated New York art blogger C-Monster.net, who experienced the artist, face- to-face and alone, locked inside his therapy cube.
