I hope to make the process of producing my take of the Biennial a transparent and interesting one for artists.

Artists who take on curatorial activities have the advantage of negating the professional hurdles and limitations comprising institutions.

Location is all about the efficiency of work for me.

I love Dallas, Austin and Houston. Why? Because some of the best comedians, like Bill Hicks and Sam Kinison, started their careers in Texas, and because the crowds there are comedy-educated.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.

I'm a huge Dallas Mavs fan. What I love about Dirk Nowitzki is he has just as much talent as everyone else, if not more, and he never toots his own horn. He's this silent warrior.
