Three Questions for Sterling Ruby
In your piece Superoverpass from 2007, do you reference Minimalism with a nod towards the tradition or are you using the formal qualities of this movement as an ironic gesture towards Minimalism?
In your show "VAMPIRE" the piece Consolidator seems to evoke archeology and monuments, specifically these kinds of frozen forms that operate in the social imagination, are you more interested in the forms these tend to take or in the deeper psychological manifestations of artifacts and monumental sculpture?
What did you take from being Mike Kelley's assistant? And perhaps more importantly, what did you not take?
