INTERVIEW with AGRICOLA DE COLOGNE, 2006
Intermedia was a term coined in the days of Fluxus, and its meaning was essentially ambiguous. I enjoyed working in a department whose name defied meaning, while realising that it was creating meaning constantly in the activity of art-making.

I’m particularly intrigued by work in which the communicative dimension is relayed with a degree of discretion: by which word I’m gesturing towards a quality of containedness, a sense of self-conscious restraint and subtlety, perhaps even humour. When ‘meaning’ is positioned at this kind of oblique angle to “subject“, there is space left for the un-prescribed.
