Interview with Shaun Gladwell, artist, London, 1 October 2014

Abstract

A year after my initial StudioCrasher interview with Shaun Gladwell, I caught up with him in his studio in London, where he is currently working on a body of work for an important commission for Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation. In particular, we discuss the idea of the "parafunctional", and the way in which this notion will become the basis of an artist’s book Shaun is planning, which will pay homage to the Semiotext(e) theory books that had such an influence on the art of the 1980s and early 1990s.
