I want to fly,
High above in the sky

Don’t push me away


We shall all fly
High above in the sky


I want to fly high above
In your sky

Can you let it be
Only your power
And not your greed

A part of me will die
By your side
Taking you with me

High high above
in the sky

While you sleep I shall wake up and fly

      "Every line appears for few seconds before it swaps to the next.
   Only the words that are different from the previous line change, 
and sometimes the in between characters are interchanged, 
creating a visual and mental play"


Jung Hee Mun's Questions to Shilpa Gupta

Q1:Your early work incorporates sounds which stirred viewers senses in a different way that of visual from your sculptural pieces. How do your approach those elements (provoking human sense) executed (translated) through your concept and interest?

Q2:How your interdisciplinary practices came about and what do your think about new media in a context of your work?

Q3: What will be your use of sublime coming from and how do you approach it?

     Questions for artist: 

1. Referring to your most recent show at David Zwirner, how do you arrange your pieces and decide how to put them together?

2. How do you where to place text in your work?  Does every drawing need text to go along with it?  If not, how do you decide which ones need text?

3. How do you decide what to explain?  What is giving too much information? 

4. When deciding on text is there a method to the font you choose?  Does the font chosen carry certain weight?

5. In an interview you did with Scott Campbell you talk about collaborating with your kid in the future.  What role does collaboration play in your art now?  Do you always collaborate with others or are there things you do on your own?

6. What about color in your work.  What stays black and white and what gets colored?  Is there a specific process to this decision?


7. In your interview with Scott Campbell you talk about subject matter and nothing being off limits.  But what is too much?  Can you over-do a subject?  Is there a point when people stop caring about the same material?

     - Do you consider yourself to be a feminist?

2. You also say that your life has changed over the years and you do no think you can do performance because you do not want to lie.
     -Do you not consider yourself a feminist anymore?
     -If so, what made you change your beliefs?

3. In your film “Doggedness” you walk your husband on a leash through the streets of Vienna.

2. Do you feel that you chose the right materials to work with? Do you have any plan to use different sources to convey your ideas?

3. How do you see your next step? Is there anything you would like to change in your current fabric works, or you are thinking of doing totally different things and methods for your next works?

Questions for Anish Kapoor by Byul Han



 - I am so fascinated by your works, especially the one ‘To Reflect an Intimate Part of the Red' which is made with vivid color of pigments. The colors were so powerful and the texture gave an emotional impression. How do you invent materials of your own work? I was wondering if you decide materials before beginning the work, or if you find the concept to help finding materials? Moreover, how do your materials work on your art pieces?

 - When you blend the artworks in the environment like ‘cloud gate’, what do you think about the relationship between the artworks and environment?
 

 - Your works are made in various scales from the gigantic scale to small scale. What do you think is the effect of the scale on the artwork?
