Lobster Boy Grows Up
Gillian Sneed: I know you are probably sick of talking about it, but I have to ask you about the whole “Lobster Boy” fiasco. When I heard about it back in 2002, having known you from before, I thought it was pure genius, and actually quite hilarious… William Kofmehl: What you won’t find on Wikipedia […]
Portuguese Perspectives on Art in New York, Berlin, and Lisbon
Ana Cardoso: So, when I asked you to do this talk, you defined yourself as auteur, which means you moved to a slightly different arena from the one where you did different things–art, curatorial projects, art essays, and reviews–now you’re more interested in focusing on text, as an investigation, as a thesis? Ana Teixeira Pinto: […]
NY ART FAIR DIARIES FRI March 28
Fri March 28 Friday night witnessed the ridiculously long line outside the Swiss Institute on Broadway in SoHo for the experimental and “subversive” Dark Art Fair. Providing a kind of art fair alternative, the concept was to hold a fair without the use of natural or electric light, thus engendering a unique experience within which […]

NY ART FAIR DIARIES THU March 27
Thu March 27, 2008 Thursday proved to be an action-packed art-fair-event-hopping bonanza. I started at Scope, located in Lincoln Center’s Damrosch Park at 62nd Street and Amsterdam Avenue. The tent’s interior was arid and warm, and the quaint selection of 50 galleries was obviously much more digestible than the vast ocean of booths at […]

I’ve been turning the word “North” over in my mind a lot lately, especially in the studio. The word means a lot of different things depending on where you live, but up here in Canada it forms a huge chunk of our identity. We are of the North, closer to nature, perpetually buried in snow […]
NECROMANTISCH DarkArt Made in Switzerland
Through my art I express my inner self. It is art that allows me to combine the surreal world with reality. Like a mirror, NECROMANTISCH sculptures and paintings instantly confront the spectator. Michel Teuber is a Swiss artist and musician. Michel Teuber, Alien Elite, 2004. Courtesy of the artist. NECROMATISCH plays with different conceptions […]
NY ART FAIR DIARIES WED March 26
Wed March 26, 2008 Wednesday provided “VIP’s” and the press the opportunity to preview this year’s iteration of the legendary Armory Show. Peppering the throngs of New York’s glitterati and European jetsetters were the less couture-clad members of the press and some actual artists themselves.

I think in images. My work is inspired by strong emotions. I have been drawing since the age of four. I was a perfect, polite, cute little girl in a perfect, polite, cute little suburb of New York. One day, while I was out playing, a mental patient escaped from a nearby hospital and sexually […]
