An Interview with Stephen Slappe
April 13, 2010
Finn Grey ’10 speaks with PNCA faculty member Stephen Slappe, who is part of Portland 2010, a biennial of work in Portland presented by Disjecta and curated by Cris Moss.
Slappe talks about the metaphysical space of _Crossroads_, his new 4-channel video and sound installation at the Leftbank Building. Grey also talks to the artist about the interplay of nature and technology in his work; how media affects the way we interact with the world and with nature; humor as bait; and the trickster archetype.
