My conversation with Paul Chan, A Thing Remade, is now live on Rhizome. We began this project following a piece I wrote for the May issue of Frieze on his publishing house, Badlands Unlimited, as I realized that I had, in fact, been downloading files and texts from the online analog to his practice, National Philistine, for well over a decade. The online distribution model thing is not new, in other words!
Bonus points to those who make it through the whole interview (which is admittedly epic) to the last question, wherein I ask Paul what it’s like to convene with the ghost of Saddam Hussein. We went there.
BONUS: Paul dug up some old school GIFs from his archives and re-released them for Rhizome’s audience, including the one above, Cursor (2000).
