David Altmejd Interview: The Heart is a Werewolf

[@incoglido]

So special to see an artist give so much time to discussing one of their pieces. beautiful. thanks

[@antoinegoulet4958]

Loved the exhibition at montreal's MAC he's one of my favorite contemporary artistist. Really intellectual trying diferent scénario looking at his art. That way You get into a strange World That has a poetic way To reflect our Own society and conception.

Absolutely spectacular, pushing the envelope he is for sure

[@ginogino3551]

Very post-modern art; fantastic journey of human disintegration, intellectual speculation of praxis and directions of time and space. Pure anarchism is great!!!

[@basilechatelain965]

god I love him

[@dahlia8534]

The artwork truly feels like an organism, like this industrial and artificial entity that's also simultaneously eldritch and organic!

[@summerlinr1]

Wonderful video! Thank you!!!

I wish i had the money to properly express myself the way he does that’s amazing

[@jentzenmooney9426]

money is only a limit when you are attached to how that expression is realized. Expressing ones self fully does not need to be tethered to a resource you don't have. I am sure that is something that you do or have access to that can encapsulate you.

[@fyodorkdostoyevsky]

i make less than a hundred dollars a month (im from a third-world country). you dont need money to express yourself properly. you need time and a keen eye. there are things all over for you to make art with. money will come your way, dont wait for it. save up if you want need something desperately, even if it takes a year, but dont convince yourself that your art will only be meaningful when you have the money for more traditional resources. pushing yourself out of your comfort zone will only improve your art. maybe you cant afford a mountain of plexiglass right now, or epoxy clay, but holding yourself back because of that will stunt your growth as an artist. my first large piece was made entirely out of found things. while ive been saving up for epoxy clay and foam, ive been working on the bones of other sculptures, sketching ideas, and using found things to make art. yeah it sure aint ideal, but going through this is helping me hone my style and find my voice as an artist. i cant wait to incorporate some of the things ive learnt & done with found things into clay sculptures. good luck with all your artistic endeavours, im sure it will be easier soon.

Dear David, can you explain the Plexi glass box?

[@codylamaar]

Where does something like this end up?

[@serbanindigo689]

Usually private collections/museums/(permanent fixtures in)galleries, or are being destroyed depending on : - if the artist thought of the process of segmenting the work in smaller detachable blocks so it could be transported; - if the artitst's goal for the piece is either to be preserved or to be observed as an ephemeral creation which sometimes may or may not play directly into the narrative imbued into the artwork itself; - if there's any sort of interest from private collectors/museums/galleries to own the piece(s).

[@sicfith6006]

How is something like this transported
