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 think I'm aware of entering my late 30s versus being in my late 20s, when the web was coming out as this new thing. It reminds me of how people used to tell me about my great-grandmother and how they used to gather around a radio listening to soap operas.
Kalup LinzyI remember when I first started putting things on the web and people were writing about it. I totally didn't keep up with what was going on because I wanted to present stuff in museums and galleries and have some presence on the web. I feel fortunate to have posted stuff in the beginning.
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.
