Can making a book make you immortal? RickOwensonline makes the case.
Do you feel any disassociation between the you that you have memorialized through your work, your exhibit, and your books and the you that is, maybe, sitting at home cleaning cat pee off your jacket?
Not really, because I talk about everything. It’s all part of the same story. All of the flaws in my life, I’m pretty open about. I talk about artifice and my own artifice, so I think it’s all pretty exposed. That’s one of the main gists of my story, that you’re allowed to invent yourself. I think it’s probably a good idea to know that you’re flawed and to not beat yourself up about your flaws too much.
When you think about bringing new people into your world, working with Danielle or making a book about Larry, how aware are you of the Rick Owens effect? Any association with you immediately legitimizes someone, some thing, or their art.I think so. It’s not just professionally. Danielle is already an incredibly accomplished and well-respected photographer, but having your stamp of approval brings her to a new audience.
Well, there’s going to be certain young people that are going to get a certain level of legitimacy and then I might be legitimized by association with somebody else. There was an article, it was kind of funny, because I had just done this project with Thomas Houseago [for the]. They erected his sculpture where I usually do my show, so my show would have to literally revolve around his sculpture.
It does. I’m sure it does. I’m sure I’m looking at a lot of what not to do, a lot of what’s out there, and what’s been done too much. But you can find pleasing lines anywhere. I can find them on the metro, the way someone has their shirt tied around their hips. You can see something. I’m always looking at what people do.
