In defence of the occasionally brilliant interactive/public artist

June 4, 2011 Hannah Bertram

Sometimes artists who incorporate interactive elements to their practice get it right. Rafael Lozano-Hemmer is one of them.

WHAT YOU MAY FIND

You may find inside my studio:

awkward beginnings and a graveyard of ideas; tears and frustrations and whooping euphoria; drawings, diagrams, lists and words assisting in discovery; conversations with coffee and beer to comfort; materials attempting to become and patterns being undone.

This is a place that honours the labour, the questions, the failure and the wonder of discovery that is the fragile creative process of making art.
