The Art World: What If...?! with American Artist

from The Art World: What If...?! · host Allan Schwartzman and Charlotte Burns

What if it were possible to dream up entirely new things? Join host Charlotte Burns as she interviews one of the most interesting artists working today. American Artist — who changed their name in 2013 — produces deeply thoughtful work that is as enmeshed in digitization and technology as it is history and alternate realities. American talks about how their art tackles police violence in the US. They also discuss a newer body of work centering on the life and writings of sci-fi novelist, Octavia E. Butler. American says their work is ultimately hopeful: "If I didn't feel strongly that things could change I wouldn't even bother. But I want everyone else to try as hard as I do."
