Ep. 05: Liz Rudnick Talks About Painting Over Family Photographs

For this episode of Collectors Edition, we talk with artist and curator Liz Rudnick about her collections of artist monographs, small sculptures, and family photographs that she makes anew by painting over aspects of the image. Along the way, we discuss a variety of topics like how parental philosophies towards collecting are passed down through generations, how artists turn experiences into objects, and how art made with outdated media are preserved and displayed in authentic ways. We also talk about the difference between hoarding and collecting, trying to document ephemeral performance works, and collecting as a reminder for one’s existence. It’s a fun, wide-ranging conversation!
