What was the first piece of art that really mattered to you?
I don’t think it was art.
If you could live with any one piece of art what would it be?
Impossible.

Can’t be bothered with this.
What a bother.

Definitely not the ‘same’.
What could you imagine doing if you didn’t do what you do?
Raising a lot more hell.
What are you reading?
Michael Jackson Was My Lover by Victor M. Guttierez (self-published, 1997) – the super reality of truth as falsity; and always in-between, Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault to prevent brain damage.
What do you like the look ok?
John Waters, Udo Kittelman, L. Muzzey.
What is art for?
Current art: to dangerously re-load
