Visual Art In/Visible Is Up: Behind the Story
posted by on February 15 at 10:05 AM
I’m normally the host on In/Visible, but this time, I’m the guest, interviewed by Christopher Frizzelle.
In the story “Gray Area” in this week’s paper, I take a look at accusations that two prominent Seattle artists—Lead Pencil Studio, winners of a Stranger Genius Award—are copycats.
“Which is worse,” I write, “theft or ignorance?”
On this podcast is everything that didn’t make it into the story: more opinions from curators and the artists, what I think of the whole thing, and how it crossed my desk in the first place.
That is fucking awesome.
I want to be interviewed by...an enormous penis!!!
I can't help but be a bit titillated by the drama of this scenario (it's got to be one of every artist's worst nightmares). It really does raise some philosophical questions that are by their very nature more or less impossible to resolve, though if I were in Lead Pencil's shoes, I'd be in a rather troubled state at the moment and re-evaluating my processes/knowledge base post haste. I appreciate all your coverage on the subject.
