    Hey, I recognize that ornate square with Arabic text in the background!! It's an interview/menu from Pittsburgh's Conflict Kitchen! From the Iran menu, if memory serves me well. They were a fantastic concept restaurant with incredible food.
    Each season, they'd feature a small menu from a country the US currently is or has been in conflict with. And they'd hand out these large square transcripts of interviews they'd conduct with people from that country about their food and culture, with pretty designs on the back, and the country name written in the local language.
    Also, the Iran season had some especially banging food!

    Person with a pulse here! Instantly smitten with those rules. Where were they when I was in studio?!? Who knows whether I would have related to them as profoundly as I do now, but I can't help but think they would have made one heck of a difference. I am going to very much find a great print and post them nearby. Thank you for another great show and the great introduction to Kent! I really dig her use of text in her prints, there's a vibrancy and cross-mind (text and image, perception and reading, amorphous and rigid) aspect that's really entrancing. :)

    @trevorjones8969 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Love this. Love discovering your channel. Actually, after having watched 'The truth of the tortured artist', I have a question. It was a reference to Jeff Koons that inspired the question. I believe Koons has teams of workers to help produce the work, as has, for instance, Anselm Keifer, Damian Hurst, and any number of other artists - I'm pretty sure the same is true of Anish Kapoor. Anyway, the questions are, to what extent are the workers acknowledged? How are they treated? Is this a contractual setup, like an employer, employee relation? Are these workers really artists themselves, and are they the 'dirty' secret of art production? In my view, all art is collaborative, even it if is in the single artist's relation with the society in which she lives. And, I also think we need to bring to light those actual worker-artists who are kept invisible or not spoken of openly. We need to examine the conditions in which they work too. We need this to both demonstrate the necessity of collaboration, and to rid us once and for all of the myth of great work being the sole product of some auteur genius. Hope you might do a video on this question some time. Thanks. :)
