Here is some insight into exhibiting artist Kurtis Skaife...knitting and football what a fantastic combination:
1. What is your first art related childhood memory?
My family's Halloween decorations were damaged somehow, so I drew monsters to hang around the house. I remember the main theme was that all the monsters had multiple arms or multiple heads.
2. As an artist, who is your biggest influence?
I became obsessed with Robert Crumb when I discovered him in high school. I was initially attracted to the weirdness and gross-out factor and I sill love his stuff today but for different reasons. When I discovered him I became aware that there are contemporary artists which was a huge realization for me.
3. What did you listen to in the studio while creating this show?
I listened to/watched lots of NFL games, Odd Future, Das Racist and NPR.
4. Name three unexpected items one would find in your studio.
In my studio you would find a Minnesota North Stars pennant, the first Nightmare on Elm Street poster and a basil plant.
5. What is your least favorite famous work of art?
I can't really pick a least favorite piece of art but I have always been particularly disturbed by bad looking cartoons. They just grossed me out. I remember the Flintstones and Charlie Brown specials were the biggest offenders.
6. What art do you have hanging on your walls?
I have art from friends including really nice stuff by Lindsay Smith, Jes Seamans and Luke Thomas. I also have a giant Frank Stella screenprint that I found in a curbside trash in uptown years ago. Its my greatest find.
7. What are you working on now?
I am taking a break from crocheting to try and get reacquainted with drawing.
