Promiscuous Eye

Hassan Khan

I recently met Hassan on my fourth day here in London after my official move. He was kind enough to accept my invitation to an interview. It proved to be more than expected. I learned a bit about the art politics in the Middle East. Unfortunately most of that conversation extended beyond this interview, but it is touched upon in our conversation.

Sol`Sax

Sol`Sax is one of the first artists to introduce me to the contemporary art scene in 2000. Not only did he show me around but he also gave me insight into what contemporary art was all about. He is a friend and a mentor.

In this interview we discuss the complexities of his work and future projects.

Torkwase Dyson

I met Torkwase early last year. I was first introduced to her paintings. What I loved most was the surreal quality that she mixes with culturally familiar images. Torkwase's performances are just as engaging.

Derrick Adams

I have known Derrick for quite some time and have become one of his biggest fans. I got a chance to ask him about his performance work and thoughts on contemporary art from a curatorial perspective.
