“For its exhibition texts and graphics, the Whitney works with a master printer, Tom Black of T. E. Black Studio. Arriving in a van loaded with paint, scaffolding, and screens prepped over the preceding weeks, Black and his four-person crew screenprint texts and graphics directly onto the Museum’s walls a few days before the show opens.” (whitneymuseum)

:-o sums this up pretty well!
AS: In recent years I’ve begun to think of all my various endeavors — painting, textiles, photography, blogging — as part of a whole artistic life, broader and more ordinary than my New York art-world life. I want to make art out of the overlooked, whether in photographs, in paintings of farm machines or in using a common craft technique. I am interested in “being rapt with satisfied attention,” as William James wrote, and I agree with the filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami when he said, “Even daily life should ultimately reach an essence that is akin to poetry.”
