I have been thinking about the plants and animals that have existed over time. Variations occur from generation to generation. Forms of life are subjected to environmental pressures. If a particular variation provides an advantage, it can then be seen as an adaptation. Organisms compete for resources. Some thrive and some become extinct. Environments are […]

Apparently the turkey vulture has been seen in 48 of 50 states; this is what Don tells me. Right now it’s in a Chelsea gallery and clutching a decapitated head. The artist, who hails from California but now works in New York City, then points out the bird’s coloring and its relation to art.   […]

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 […]

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: […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I am sensitive to everything visual. When I was young, I was a shy little boy. I always looked out the window, especially when I was on the train. I could stare outside the window the whole day and not get tired. Now I like road trips. Driving long hours is fun for me because […]
