JOHN YOUNG has been interviewed this week by Liminal Magazine. In five succinct questions, John reflects on his evolving practice and discusses the nuances of his new book, John Young: History Projects—what Young describes as "a critical guide to his expansive body of work exploring diasporic memory, transcultural identity, and what Young describes as an 'ethical responsibility' toward the past."
"This mode of working—the “historical” modality and its associated narratives—seems to establish a reciprocal relationship between the artist’s and audience’s learning [...] It is, perhaps, more socialist in orientation: artist and audience create and learn from the historical-art text simultaneously."
