  • Reflection Notes

“The impulse to make a self-portrait right after the recording. The image as a record. Thinking of Sands his performalist self-portraits (see one of his Identity Shots on the wall). Thinking of Adrian Piper’s ‘Food for the Spirit’ mirror self-portraits. Since I am often in the role of the observer and recorder (the interviewer, but not the interviewee), I’m usually not present in the process images. The self-portrait as a way to share the person on ‘the other side’ of the microphone.” – RR.

Email exchange – 16.11.20. “The early to mid-90s 1993 1994 1995 are crucial and formative, and then the years when I took up painting as a structural challenge to the world: 2009 and 2010 and 2011.” – SMW.

SMW & AC inventorying session – 08.10.20. “I was a bit ashamed of having a full scholarship because they told me I was not a good realist painter […] I’ve always been shy about anything that I have, be it intellect or whatever […] Gender-fuck […] The computer remembered, as they do.” – SMW.
