AR:
Are you an individual artist or member of an art producing collective/initiative/organisation?
SI:
Both.
I know this question was meant to be simple and straightforward, but it does not make any sense if we are talking about contemporary art. Contemporary art is about communication and, as everything in our field-of-view, is about meshup, crossover, contamination and perception. You are just not able to work on something that hasn’t already been fed by someone else, in terms of technology, content, communicative impact, perceptive conceptualisation. Painters, sculptors etctera don’t exist in the contemporary era.
“Contemporary” painters/sculptors/… are called “contemporary” just because specific aesthetics are handled by specific operators, but they do not make any sense, since they are classical.
