Edition #8: William Powhida
Originally aired on
Monday, July 17th, 2006
P.S.1 Deputy Director Brett Littman interviews artist and critic William Powhida. Over the past several years, Powhida has been making a stir in the artworld with his confrontational no-holds barred tromp l'oeil Hex drawings, Enemy Lists and letters to artists. Working primarily on paper, Powhida explores the boundaries between figurative drawing, illustration and dark humor. In this interview Littman and Powhida discuss why he draws, the current state of criticism, and P.S.1's 2005 Greater New York exhibition. Also featured is a short excerpt of Powhida's Eulogy for Williamsburg, a performance he did on June 2, 2006 for New Brooklyn Installation Art Eyewash @ Supreme Trading Company in Williamsburg.
