Interview regarding Ken Weathersby's practice, & his "ideas" of painting. "I’m wary of the idea of perfection"

We realize that the first anniversaries are fairly routine engagements, but we still couldn’t be more excited to celebrate our very first birthday. Because we have a lot to look forward to in the coming months: a newly introduced logo and icon designed by the talented Mr. Guido Callarelli, a big Basel event (more details to come on that one!), and new look for the site in 2011 that will bring you more news, more art juice, and more overall splendor. Another fun fact that’s keeping us happy? Powerful art Scorpios tend to live long. Take Pablo Picasso who was 91 when he passed, or Geogia O’Keefe who blessed us for 98 years. We’re aiming for a cool 100.

Kara Walker makes some of the most unsettling and thought-provoking art that you'll see anywhere these days.
