Kehinde is defintely one of my favorite artists. Would love to meet him one day. He is certainly one of the most important artists of our time!
Great interview! I would love to meet Wiley; he's wonderful.

Nice interview

I'm incredibly excited..."one of the most important and exciting artists of our generation" NOT...
notice how there is no more culture involved in the "art world" and that now there is no more knowledge, no more criticism rather there is the language of real estate agents, "wonderful exciting, amazing, incredible, breathtaking... to flog a product
+jwsyt1 Agreed. That bullshit is part and parcel with art though. If you watch a movie at a theater, trailers were probably released before the film aired. Artists can't exist in their daydreamy worlds following their delusions of grandeur to conclusions without someone selling their work for them. Don't get me wrong: I went to a Stephen Vitiello (sound artist) lecture , and asked him, "what would you do if you wanted the audio from a specific specie of whale, or some-such non...", and without hesitation, speaking over me: "I'd just go out and record it". I took that to mean "the story of the artist has supplanted the value of their work". Still, artists often have some knowledge of their own madness, and its nice to have a few around that aren't simply selling someone else's product.
Shouldve made Stan Watie or MLK. A real person.
