Shane Caffrey by the window
The L Magazine has a great feature, Ten Young Artists You Should Know, complete with interviews. I worked with Shane Caffrey and Amy Yao on their interviews, though they’re all worth a look. A teaser:
The L: If you could collaborate with any other New York City artist (living or dead), who would be, why, and what would you create together?
Shane: I’m a huge fan of Brooklyn based artist Tehching Hsieh. His five “one-year-performances” are often categorized as “endurance art”. I propose a collaboration where Hsieh and I live our regular lives, never meeting or corresponding. From a synchronized time, we both systematically weed out endurance from our actions in life. The performance project would follow us separately as we endure to un-endure. The piece will have no time limit. The project would end when both of us, in our own times, give up giving up or fade away and die.Either that or I re-enact Terry and Edie’s walk in the park scene in On the Waterfront. I stand in for Brando as Terry, and Brooklyn born Marisa Tomei plays the part of Edie.
