Stedelijk Museum [General Idea, de Rooy, Sarkis, Haring]

What was the thing you selected to photograph from the permanent collection, and how is it related to your work?

--

General Idea
What are the challenges of parodying a genre (like graphic design or documentary film)? What are the rewards?

Did it feel '80s? How?

Why remix art by other people? What does your art then become about?

Why use humor to address something like the AIDS epidemic? (Dada)

----

De Rooy:
What is the difference between creating alternative futures (science fiction) and alternative pasts (like steampunk)? Why do the latter rather than the former?

What are some ways one can be liminal, to work from the space of the liminal? (refuse to resolve, deferral). What is the agency of working from a liminal space? What are the weaknesses?

Any work you liked the most?

----

Sarkis:
What are some advantages of having constraints in your art/design practice?

---

Haring:
Thoughts? How different than his other work? What does it remind you of? Do you have to literally understand it [decode it] for it to work? Why or why not?
