Interview with PHILIPP IGUMNOV
q)please tell us a brief info
about yourself.
a)My name is Philipp Igumnov.
I'm 26 y.o. freelance designer from Moscow, Russia.
q)Tell us about your humble
beginnings, When did you you first realized that you wanted to be an artist?
a)I really don't know. Maybe
it was about 9 or 10 years ago, when I started experimenting with photoshop. I
was enjoying making pictures.
And I do so now.
q)What are your tools?
a)Mostly Photoshop and Adobe
Illustrator. Also sometimes I use pencils, pens, scissors and watercolor.
q)Who or what gives you
inspiration?
a)I get inspired by slow
melodic music, and by people who surround me, and sometimes by movies, books,
and many other things. You never know what will give you inspiration. It's like
a flash in your conscious mind.
q)Is your artistic background
self-taught or did you go to college to study?
a)Self-taught.
About a year ago I wanted to
start studying art in school of modern arts "mmoma" here in Moscow,
but they said that I'm not cool enough to breathe the same air with them. So I
dropped that idea for now.
q)How do you keep “fresh”
within your industry?
a)Well, I'm surfing lots of
internet sites about art and design, watching tons of pictures, and I think it
helps me stay up-to-date.
(but I'm not sure that my collages
looks very fresh)
q)What are some of your
current projects?
a)Now I'm making corporate
style design for a construction company and helping my friend with interior design.
Not very interesting though
q)Which of your works are you
the most proud of? And why?
I totally wasn't expecting
that my picture could be liked by so many people. And since I made it, I
realized that I can make something right. That I'm not so useless as I thought
before.
q)Are there any areas,
techniques, mediums, projects in your field that you have yet to try?
a)Yes, sure. I want to try
making animated cartoons and 3d models.
q)What do you do to keep
yourself motivated and avoid burn-out?
a)Nothing. Sometimes I just
stop and do nothing.
Except my job, where all the
things are usually coined and I just need to make a picture with them.
q)how do you spend most of
your free time?
a)Well, in my spare time I
like to walk around my city, listen to a good music, watch movies, make
pictures for myself and sometimes play computer games.
q)What contemporary artists or
developments in art interest you?
a)Richard Vergez

Interview with Martin Lukáč
q)Walk us through an
intimate day in your life
a)Whoa. It really
depends. I´m still a student of Academy of Arts, architecture and Design in Prague . So that means I
have some duties there. But my days are different. I will try to catch here my
favourite routine.
When I wake up I’m
thinking of making art. You know. Simultaneously I’m making a smoothie from
fresh fruit and vegetable. Base is apple and carrot. After classically I'm
checking emails and drinking coffee. Next step is going to studio (in school)
or sometimes I draw at home or at particular spaces. (Nature , China
Town, pub...) Mostly I draw. But I have some days or weeks of doing nothing.
At the early evening I´m
checking some openings what are coming up. Then I go home and watch my
favourite series, or read book or something till I fall asleep. I’m a pretty
big geek. Actually this semester I was travelling pretty much from Prague to Leipzig .
I ordered plenty stuff from KFC and then I ate it, while I was travelling to Germany . So it
was colourful: D. I had a great time there on academy. And that are best
spended days for me sometimes. Traveling, knowing people... My days are
different I´m not daily only at studio. Sometimes on trips like these, I made
the best ideas in my mind. I will try travel more in future, for sure.
q) Where did you grow
up/where do you live now and how does that contribute to your art?
a)I grew up in Slovakia - it is located in central Europe . Of course it was part of eastern communist block
back than (26 years ago). For sure it influenced all my stuff I do. I grew up
in 90 ´s in capital city - Bratislava .
Imagine that, you see graffiti on “panelocks “and old socialistic weird
sculptures. Everywhere was signs like “Rap” or “Prodigy” or “WTC” or painted
Michael Jordan. That is awesome stuff for kid to follow. I saw for my very
first time cartoon network back then, when I moved to the capital city. Because
my parents lived in smaller village and I had some problems like asthma.
Because of that we moved. Moving to smog Bratislava
cured me. Unbelievable! J
Actually for my studies I
went to Czech Republic
specifically to Prague .
It was Czechoslovak capitol. (26 years ago) As I mentioned I study here at the
Academy and now I’m on exchange in Germany
(Leipzig ). I
have made some series of painting based on socialistic realism. I used plaster,
chemical paints and burlap -it is more like assemblage. Also the influence is
in the utterance of gullibility and modernism of socialistic realism. These
days I´m exhibiting things influenced more by fashion and classically I´m
expressing myself by drawing so... It is kind a Mixture of various stuff that I
follow these days. Currently I´m living in Leipzig and in Prague
q) What is your earliest
memory that propelled you to create?
a)Batman, Batman, Batman!
Specifically Cartoon network series or Frank Millers comics strip, I think
those two things are the thing what are you asking for.
q) Tell us a little bit
about your creative process.
a)Mainly I’m having ideas
or visions first. That’s base. And the second thing is drawing
I draw sometimes I feel
like I´m out of my mind because of it. But for sure drawing is my creative
process number one. The Process is mostly spontaneous it depends how did I
figure the concept/content.
q) How do you wish for
your art to be perceived?
a)I don’t have any
particular wishes about this. It is just so free. I hope.
Often every exhibition of
mine has its own kind of statement- content. You can read it freely I think.
There is no super specific clue (I don’t count curatorial text).
q) What do your internal
dialogues sound like?
a)Hah! It is a normal
questioning what is good and what not. What shapes, what colours, why am I
doing it? Mostly is like... is that enough on the edge? (When I do some
drawing/exhibition/painting)
q) Do you feel that there
are limitations to what you want to create?
a)I create my own limits.
There are only those limits which is my mind having right now. I think limits
are important. You have to know them. Know Yourself.
q) Do you feel art is
vital to survival and if so, why?
a)We have art since
beginning of the entire planet. I have no doubts that it will be forever like
Wu- tang J
q) Describe a world
without art.
a)Lots of douchebags on
streets without any other goal than survive
J ? I
kind of don’t know how to imagine that. Art is everywhere, architecture,
traffic signs everything. It is a life style.
q) Tell us a secret, and
obsession.
a)KFC. J Family Guy JBatman J
q)
Where can people see more of your work
on the internet?
a)Lately I have been working on new web-design
of my own page. It will be improved by Martin Groch a great illustrator and designer.
He is making me new cool portfolio. It will be finished in one month from now
on. I think you will be surprised J
it is lukacmartin.com and lukacmartin.tumblr.com you can also see my work at
PITCH magazine or http://inspoboard.sample-mag.com/. Some stuff
Is on pages of particular galleries where
I did exhibit previously. But mainly check out my web and Tumblr Folks! Thanks
For interview!!!

Interview with MATHIEU ST-PIERRE
q)Walk
us through an intimate day in your life
a)On weekends I usually wake up late as
I'm really not a morning person. I have breakfast and make sure to have a
minimum of 2 cups of coffee before working on anything. Then, slowly in the
afternoon I gather some videos I start downloading from various torrent sites.
From there, I just spend the rest of the day working on various stuff at
work... After dinner, this is when I really get into my glitch work, I'm not a
night owl but I'm an evening person. I'd say that around 10pm I get most of my
inspiration as I try to create as much as possible saving a large number of
images I extract from my videos.
q)
Where did you grow up/where do you live now and how does that contribute to
your art? I grew
up in Montreal , Canada
a)where I stayed until my 30th birthday.
From there, I moved to South
Korea where I currently live. I can say it
was the best move I've ever done in my life (so far), living in Korea is great
because I'm pretty much the only artist here working on glitch art as everyone
else is focusing on more traditional for of art. Back in Montreal I think the art scene is too small
and artists are struggling (even the famous local ones). Being in Asia is such a culture clash that it helps my creativity.
q) What
is your earliest memory that propelled you to create?
a)Having a good assortment of video files
is the most important, then some music + imported beer helps in the creative
process.
q) Tell
us a little bit about your creative process.
a)I generally browse the torrent sites in
search of good videos that I can easily glitch. I'd say that adult files are
generally more abundant and comes in a fairly large variety of codecs, which makes
them interesting to work with. From there I break the files to get errors when
reading and I then stack them in an editing program. After that I try to
accentuate those imperfections by adding up filters in a way that is not meant
to be.
q) How
do you wish for your art to be perceived?
a)I like my work to be open to interpretations.
Recently, a student from Sweden wrote a Master's and included my work in her
thesis, I was surprised about how she perceived my art and was also interested
on how she could see different things from other people who reviewed my work
previously.
q) What
do your internal dialogues sound like?
a)These days my internal dialogue is
telling me that I'm not patient enough. I do have absolutely no patience with
my computer these days since it's too slow and I also want my art to get to a
higher level of recognition faster.
q) Do
you feel that there are limitations to what you want to create?
a)Yes, especially these days, that's why I
recently purchased a custom electronic device that distorts analog signals.
I'll eventually integrate that to my workflow and see how it will go.
q) Do
you feel art is vital to survival and if so, why?
a)Perhaps not to the very basic of
survival but on a higher level yes. It keeps a society critical.
q)
Describe a world without art.
a)A world without a soul
q) Tell
us a secret, and obsession.
a)I would love to have my work displayed
in a museum one day.
q) Where can people see more of your work on the internet?
