Richard Prince, Interview pt 1 of 4, VBS.tv

Richard Prince makes the most detached art possible: jokes culled from playboy magazines, posters of the marlboro man, and other laconic cultural references. Here is the begining of an interview from VBS.tv with Richard Prince, they have a neat program entitled Art Talk, it's worthwhile to check out.

Prince is living in upstate New York, in the wilderness. The town he lives in reminds me of places like Savoy, population 600, in Massachusetts. My experience is that people who live in the middle of nowhere, in places where it is cold for large stretches of the year, also prefer to be alone for large stretches of time.
