Here’s a segment from The Columbia Museum of Art’s interview with REMIX artist, Leo Twiggs.
REMIX highlights the practice among many African-American artists of retelling or refashioning themes, ideas, and objects in new ways and from their own unique perspective. Indeed, the title REMIX is a reference to how African-American musicians sample other music by quoting it in new musical works, and this same process goes on in the visual arts. REMIX will not only impress viewers with highly creative objects, it will invite discussion about history and how artists create entirely new works.
