I was in that generation where I was torn if you should put it on the web because you're giving it away for free but you also want people to see your work.
Kalup LinzyI realized that was what was happening in my work already. I think that's where, as artists, we begin to master our craft: when we're able to step back and understand things.
Kalup LinzyI have the dream to continue being in an art context, but also be able to continue doing stuff in television on the web.
Kalup LinzyI was trying to release emotions, exercise emotions, and then I entered the art world. Even after grad school, some of [the earlier works] were still lingering in my head. I realized there were some pieces where I felt that I had to respond to the criticism.
Kalup LinzyI feel like my perception has changed a little because when I was posting stuff online it was an extension of my studio and then it started getting some of the attention. Now it's like, "Oh, this is actually a place where you can make money," but I'm not interested in competing in that space. It seems like too much to deal with.
