Between Artists

4/5 ( ratings)

Despite all the critical analyses, art histories, surveys, reviews, critiques, and articles we might read, there is no substitute for an artist's own words to inform us of his or her intentions and ideas. Published interviews provide such access. When reading this remarkable collection of 12 conversations between artists who are intimately familiar with each other's work, one feels a little like a voyeur or a fly on the wall. In these revealing interviews, artists discuss their relationship with their work and reflect on the culture in which they live, giving readers a deep understanding of their daily roles and struggles. They share their insights on such topics as AIDS, art history, craft, tradition, religion, and feminism, and their voices reflect a reassuring diversity. Some interesting pairings are Felix Gonzalez-Torres interviewed by Tim Rollins, and Anne Scott Plummer interviewed by Viola Frey. It is surprising to learn, for instance, that Gonzalez-Torres never worked in a studio for fear it would paralyze his creativity.
