Jeremy Fish – Listen and Learn

I recently had the privilege of telling a story to/being interviewed by artist Jeremy Fish, for a piece in his new gallery show Listen and Learn.

The exhibition features assorted tales from a wide swath of contemporary life—including from artists, skateboarders, rappers, athletes, a stripper, a cop, and a historian—which Fish has reinterpreted in lovingly realized painted works. Rendered in acrylic on hand-cut wood panels, these thirty “story paintings” are accompanied by audio recordings of the source tales recounted by the original storytellers, available to gallery visitors on MP3 players and headphones mounted next to each work.

The show opens on June 21 and runs until July 16, 2011 at Joshua Liner Gallery in New York.
