Pelle Cass's Page

Pelle Cass's Friends

I am...: interested in just about everything if it's new, or, in a pinch, new to me.

About my artwork: Words are usually an important organizing feature of my work. In other words, I like to find the wrong way to do something, then make it work.

Artists I like: Ed Ruscha
Tom Sachs
William Lamson
Giambattista Tiepolo
Rembrandt
Penelope Umbrico
Andreas Gursky
Thomas Demand
Jeff Wall
Susan E. Evans
Lisa Ann Aurbach
Ariel Orozco (and I like Gabriel Orozco, too)
Peter Urban
William Sullivan
Walker Evans
And too many more artists, writers, filmmakers, etc., to list.

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: Recenty in NYC I saw work I liked by David Clarebout, Marcel Dzama, and James Welling, all of which I liked enough to remember. The Whitney Biennial? I liked it, but only insofar as it was "interesting," I think. I liked the paintings of terrorist group names by Daniel Martinez, but only as far as I was able to resist them as a serious political statement.

The centre of the artworld is: New York, London, LA, Berlin, Beijing, my studio, online, nowhere and everywhere, another city

As you will have read, I found it similarly difficult to work out any clear rationale about these issues. Having said that, I wouldn't go quite so far as to say that you give up your right to privacy when you step out on the street, but I guess that's an issue of terminology and degree as much as anything.

Put it this way - away from photography - if you're reading in public then people are entitled to see which book you're reading, but I'd suggest that standing over your shoulder reading each line is a step too far. That may be a weak analogy, but while privacy in public is clearly not the same as in a private space, I think it does still exist in some form.

Thanks for engaging - much appreciated. Umlaut.

p.s. If you ever have a spare five minutes, it would be great if you could add some of the names of Evan's successors to my blog post. I certainly don't have the knowledge of photography you do and it would be great to do the subject justice.
