NEW26: Artist Talks and Walkthroughs
D
96:23Diego RamírezGUEST
I was interested in the idea that bureaucracy has migrated from government to corporations to non-profits to enter grassroots and permeate our everyday life.
D
96:37Diego RamírezGUEST
And because I'm in the art world, I'm interested in how people congregate around artworks to create art scenes.
D
96:45Diego RamírezGUEST
So thinking about this leakage of administration, I became very interested in how art scenes have become increasingly bureaucratized.
D
96:56Diego RamírezGUEST
So I was very inspired by that, but I had the big, deep problem of how to put it in a gallery or how to tell anyone about it.

ACCA NEW26 - Interview with Nicholas Currie and Diego Ramírez
S
46:41SavannahHOST
Can you tell us about that track?
D
46:47Diego RamírezGUEST
Um, and I, I'm a big fan of lo-fi [laughs] fuzzy guitars, and this is a particularly ironically bad example of it.
D
46:57Diego RamírezGUEST
[laughs] I just love it so much, and the track goes for, yeah, we were just talking about this solo that goes for a long, long time, and it's all, like, very, uh, stereotypical pentatonic and [laughs] I would say.
S
47:50SavannahHOST
So my biggest question is, is what inspired you to use a book as your medium?
D
47:59Diego RamírezGUEST
Um, so there's, there's one book in particular that was very important for me, which is called, um, Artist Novel: The New Medium by David Marotta.
D
48:14Diego RamírezGUEST
I think that's the actual name, and it speaks about how artists use the medium, the medium of a novel in contemporary art.
