“The curse of knowing more is that you see more.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>After our pre-opening tour of the Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation museum<\/a>, artist Dmitry Samarov<\/a> and I repaired to a cafe where we recorded a noisy conversation while Dmitry sketched me. This ridiculously casual episode gets into artists and suicide, the process and revelations of assembling 20 years’ worth of work for a mid-career retrospective<\/a> (as well as his new exhibition of his CTA illustrations<\/a>), the losing proposition of chasing stats, the launch of his own semisorta podcast, the fanciest dumb-phone<\/a> around, becoming a journalist\/reviewer, and how you gotta find the right tool for the job\/art. Give it a listen!<\/a> And go sign up for Dmitry’s weekly e-mail<\/a>!<\/p>\n

“People are so involved in their screens that they won’t look up in a 45-minute bus ride, which makes them the perfect subjects\/victims for my art.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
