Queer Issue III cover artist Matt Lipps - An Interview

DAILYSERVING   An international Publication for Contemporary Art

Matt Lipps’ newest body of work HORIZON/S, flips the traditional mode of institutional curating on its head. In this series, Lipps appropriates content from a late 1950s arts and culture publication that promises to offer a curated selection of international culture that will add a sense of sophistication to anyone’s taste. From these images, Lipps’ playfully explores what happens to the meaning of certain objects and images when you remix them into new systems and catagories – altering both content and context. 

Artist Lori Nix talks about her work in an interview with Cool Hunting Video. Come see her cover piece for the January 2012: Apocalypse Issue of Words without Borders.
