Jason Polan Interview

Jason Polan's Lump show, Eat Me Alive, is days away from being taken down but we revive Polan for one more romp on TeamLump Sucks.

Jason Polan interviewed by Jerstin Crosby

JC: Do you have a creed? What is it?

JP: I am Jewish. We were never raised very religious, but I am still
Jewish. Did I answer this question correctly? It was a pretty
intense first question.

JC: Yeah, you can answer them however you wish, or you can refuse to answer. Maybe though, I should have asked if you had a personal motto instead of creed. I was really looking to use creed in a sentence.

JP: To quote the singer pink, I M!ssundaztood. When I saw the word creed this is what went through my mind:

1. that was a comic book I used to like
2. does he want to know what religion I am
3. I will go to dictionary.com to clear all of this up

So, let's scrap the original answer--this is a new one.

1.) Do you have a creed? What is it?

Yea. I want to make people happy.

That is the answer to I think what you are asking. Once we get the ball rolling I think this will be fun.

I am attaching my submission for Copy Rats. It is Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen Combing His Hair. I hope it looks ok. I copied it from a comic book. I forgot to write down who the artist was (I think Curt Swan) so I will go back to the bookstore tomorrow and hopefully find it again. Is this drawing ok? Let me know if something else will
work better.



JC: Your Jimmy Olsen drawing sure made me happy. I've asked this question before to an interviewee, and I love it so much, I want to ask you if you have any recipes that you like to make, and could you share them with us?


JP: Jason's Buttery Garlic Pasta

ingredients:
pasta(any kind you like)
water
butter
garlic powder (dry, not fresh)

1. boil water
2. cook pasta to desired texture
3. strain out the water
4. put some butter and a little bit of the garlic powder on the pasta
5. let the butter melt while folding it into the pasta, with the garlic powder
6. enjoy


JC: Yum.

When you were young, what did you imagine yourself being? Anything other than an artist? I wanted to be a house painter, which I eventually got to do much of; dreams do come true.


JP: I wanted to be a major league baseball player for a while. It was a little odd, I kind of knew that it was an unrealistic idea even when I had it but I still felt that it would happen. I thought some major league scout would see me somewhere and offer me a position on his team.


JC: I just realized how well the Jimmy Olsen drawing you sent me goes with the cover art that I had chosen. Like peas n' carrots.

Are you currently working on any new books?

JP: I am trying to finish off compiling recommendations for the second issue of Recommended.

I am getting together with Shawn Creeden (do you know him, he is really nice and a good drawer) tomorrow to work on our book Wrestlers and Wildlife

Taco Bell Drawing Club Vol. III will be completed by mid march (do you want to go to taco bell and draw some sweet pictures to send to me?)

There are a couple others I can't think of right now. I stayed up too late last night and now it is early this morning. I watched the movie, Mean Creek, which was really sad and then I watched Swept Away, the Guy Ritchie/Madonna movie, that I thought was going to be funny because everyone hated it and I like Guy Ritchie but it was just really terrible and put me in a weird mood so then I had trouble falling asleep and my friend just called and I am now up enough to start doing things.

I am glad the Jimmy Olsen drawing worked out ok.

Talk soon. Sorry I sound so bitter in this email. I need to wake up!

JC: I'm gonna mail you the new book. Don't know
Shawn Creeden, maybe i should though. And of course I'll go to a taco bell and make stuff for v.III, I'll be there anyway, doing yoga.


JP: I am not usually one to offer advice, but you should get Ashton to take action pictures of your yoga session at taco bell. It will be the talk of the inter-web. Taco Bell Yoga Club? There is no stopping you.

I was just licking an envelope and got a papercut on my upper lip. Possibly something i shouldn't be sharing? I don't care.

JC: I went to the post office today to mail you some zines but prez day was in effect.

I never know how to end the interviews for Teamlump Sucks, so if you have any final words of wisdom you would like to share with the electronic audience at large, you can use the last question as a platform of sorts.

JP: Sorry about the president's day fiasco. I hope things got out ok today and it wasn't too crowded. There were 82,000 people in line before me at the post office here. Are we really done with the interview? For my last question can I ask you 5 questions to be part of it? You do not have to put this in if you don't want. These are the questions:

Did you have a favorite restaurant to go to when you were little?

Do you like reptiles and/or amphibians?

How often do you get a haircut?

Do you like to cook?

Do you ever dance?

JC: 82,001 Mohicans.

Did you have a favorite restaurant to go to when you were little?
A lot of my time as a kid was spent trying to convince my parents to take me out to restaurants, mainly McDonalds and Showbiz Pizza, but we never ate out anywhere, and I think that drove my hunger. I also remember trying to convince them to open a restaurant and let me run it.

Do you like reptiles and/or amphibians?
I used to have a very small turtle named Slick Rick, and a larger more boring turtle named Barney. Neither would eat enough lettuce so we released them. My brother is good at catching snakes, like gifted at it, and snakes won't let me get them, too slick. A few months ago I found a new turtle, very ugly, and not cool turtle, named Ludwig. I let him go soon after he rejected my attempt at re-creating his
natural environment.

How often do you get a haircut?
Right now, not very often. But when I keep it short, I cut it
sometimes too often, with sheers, maybe once a week. Do you cut your own hair?

Do you like to cook?
Yes! I had to do it for work for years so I kind of cook stuff when I'm hungry. I received a food processor for christmas, which does good hummus and salsa. I'll make you some if you're ever back in North Carolina. I could do a southern cooking night featuring fried okra. I wish Iron Chef would do okra as an ingredient one show.

Do you ever dance?
Wow, ummmm, I guess. That's a little personal don't you think JP?

Bill Fick Interview

After curating Printed: Contemporary Prints and Books by North Carolina Artists at the Greenhill Center for NC Art and being on the Lump radar for years, we decided to find out a little more about Fick with this email conversation.


Jerstin Crosby: I was thinking about it and I guess I've never heard where you're from originally.

Bill Fick: I was born in Indonesia and grew up in Venezuela (early 60's through the 70's). My father worked for an oil company.

JC: Wow, I was expecting Virginia, or maybe Michigan. I bet you ate some really great food growing up in Venezuela.

BF: Definitely, I'm a big fan of Latin American food.

JC: Do you think that up bringing consciously or sub-consciously affected your work in any way?

BF: I think both. I've always been interested in narrative images and Latin America has a strong tradition of that. Holy icons and other religious images were very common - especially during holidays. Something that I'll never forget is how during Easter full sized Judas effigies were hung from trees. Very strong and scary image for a kid - so perhaps that subconsciously led me to make bold graphic work as an adult.

JC: I can see the icon influence perhaps in the singularity of most of your work. One grotesque face, or one skull. Maybe we should collaborate on a Judas piñata. I'm trying to think of what exactly would come out of a Judas piñata when you whack it open.

BF: Making a Judas piñata would be cool. Maybe suckers would come out.

Hmmmmm, an installation of piñatas would be amazing. Maybe the Cannonball guys would be interested in something like that.

JC: Suckers, exactly, I was thinking of those sculptural prints that Tom Huck, and Cannonball are making.

At World Market they have those chocolates that are packaged to look like gold coins, maybe that could be the surprise inside.

BF: The sculptural prints are very cool. They could also be made with photocopies - much faster. Chocolate coins are perfect. Sweet greed!

JC: Is "Printed" your first time in the role of a curator? If not, what
are the others?

BF: Yes.

By the way, here's a link to a good review that came out a few days ago. Hope it helps to bring in a few people.

Press Link

JC: Ok, last question. I swear. What America really wants to know, do you believe in El Chupacabra?

BF: El Chupacabra is a nasty creature. I definitely believe in it. Kind of like a blood sucking boogey man beast.

MARK ROBINSON INTERVIEW

Bill Thelen had the opportunity to interview Mark Robinson about his humble record label beginnings, early teenbeat designs, and Unrest!


Bill Thelen: I was talking with your mom at the opening and she was telling me about when you were nine. She said you asked her to take you to the library to get a book about the record industry. Do you remember what was going through your mind at the time?

Mark Robinson: I wanted to start my own record store, so we went to the Central library in Arlington, Virginia and asked for books on how to start your own business. I was just totally nuts for records and music at the time (and still am). I would save up every penny I could get and buy records, usually at Drug Fair or GC Murphy. Singles were 99¢ and LPs
were $5.19 at Best dept. store.

I still really want to open a retail store. Some day perhaps my nine-year-old dream will come true.

BT: I totally had retail fantasies as a child as well. I remember driving around with my folks and seeing empty buildings and then I would go home and make sketches of how I would do the interiors. Did you ever design or draw at an early age?

MR: I'm totally designing retail interiors, now! I designed all sorts of stuff when I was a kid. Architectural plans for schools and summer camps... I'd map out the camp and name all the cabins.

I always wanted to start clubs and sports leagues too. I was more interested in the uniforms and logos than what the clubs would actually do.

When I was ten I designed a new helmet for the New England Patriots. It was based on the (very fashionable at the time) American flag. A blue field with white stars in the front and the red and white stripes running down the back. I mailed it to them and was convinced that they'd use the design. They did finally change their helmet in the 1990's, but they didn't use my design. I guess my crayon work didn't do it justice.

BT: When did your designs switch over to cassettes? How did Teenbeat actually come about?

MR: I bought an electric guitar at Harmony Hut in the Springfield Mall when I was 14.
I had saved up money delivering the Washington Star newspaper. It was an Epiphone Genesis and it was $99. My mom generously pitched in $30 for the case.

I never had any lessons but started writing songs with my own tunings and fingerings. When I got to high school I had heard that a fellow in my English class played drums in the marching band. That was Phil Krauth and we started playing together with a couple of other guys. Those guys were into Rush and Van Halen, so that's what we played mostly. Phil was into Led Zeppelin and I was into Joy Division.

Eventually we started playing with a more like-minded musician, Tim Moran. We would record every practice onto a boom box. They weren't really practices though. It was all pretty much improv-ed. We rarely played the same song twice. After a year or two we had tons of these cassettes and thought we should release them somehow.

I'd design covers for the tapes and there would be only one copy of the tape. We'd pass it around to our friends. Kind of like a lending library. Eventually we found two tape decks so we could dub copies. This was before the age of double cassette decks. I would
design the cassette covers and my mom would xerox them at her office. I also did a lot of flyer design for our performances around that time.

BT: I've noticed that you started out with the analog method of designing (scissors and gluestick). Was the change to designing on the computer a difficult shift?

MR: There were no computers back when I started designing -- well, I guess the Mac was out there but I didn't have access to it or even knew it existed or even knew that you could design with a computer. I used glue stick and good old paper.

I was pretty anti-computer for a long time. I met the 4AD design team in 1992 and they were totally anti-computer too. By the mid-1990s bands were delivering their artwork to me on computer disk and to put my logo on there, etc, I'd have to hire a designer with a computer and that got kind of expensive. And more importantly, it was difficult sitting next to the designer telling them what I wanted instead of just doing it myself.

When Air Miami's 'Me Me Me' album was going to be released I purchased a computer and some design software (Quark XPress and Adobe Photoshop) and designed the cover in just a week or two. The transition to computer was actually super duper easy.
I think the Quark software is just really intuitive for a designer's mind.

I guess this discussion is getting a bit nerdy/techy.

BT: Not at all. One last question… So, what new projects do you have coming up in 2008?

MR: Design-wise I've done a new album by a new band called MAYBE IT'S RENO.
It's Bridget Cross from Unrest writing and singing the songs and Phil Krauth (also Unrest)
and myself playing drums and guitar, respectively.

Also working on a new music project called Cotton Candy which is named after the Ron Howard film of the same name. Remember that one? And digitizing lots and lots of old analog cassettes I've got.

Other than that, I just take it as it comes.

Minor Character

This interview took place via email over the course of the first few weeks that Bill Thelen's recent exhibition, "Minor Character", was up at Branch Gallery.

Jerstin Crosby: Ok, just to get going a little, can you talk a bit about your connection or attraction to underdogs, and 'minor characters'?

Bill Thelen: Well, I guess it all started at a very young age. We had this neighborhood bully named Johnny Bartelak. He would go around beating everybody up. I mean he was severely twisted. He would kill people's pets, steal from houses, sexually assault kids, threaten to kill your parents, and force everyone to play baseball. All the parents were at work and this kid just reeked havoc on our neighborhood. I guess this is the earliest memory of identifying with the weak and insecure kid, because I was basically one of those kids.

JC: Sounds like a character from a movie. What do you think that guy is up to these days?

BT: Last I heard from my parents was that he was the host and manager at a steak house in my old town, but it has since closed down. Before that he was in jail for killing someone in a parking lot, but he got a reduced sentence with a self-defense plea. This is just what I heard, so no telling what he is up to now. I really don’t have any contact with anyone from the neighborhood anymore and my parents have moved away.

JC: On a scale of 1 to 2, how well do you think this interview is going so far? (1 being terrible and 2 being perfect)

BT: 2.

JC: Is this your first show as Bill Thelen where you have dropped the Lump Lipshitz cloak?

BT: Technically no; metaphysically yes!

JC: Does Bill Thelen, the curator, curate the artist Bill Thelen, or vice versa? Tell me if these questions are too terrible, its kind of difficult interviewing you, because it just is.

BT: Everything I do is intertwined in one way or another. In the grand scheme of things I really don't consider myself an artist or a curator. I'm still not sure what it is that I do. I hate those introductions at parties or dinners where the first thing people ask you is what you do. I always answer "as little as possible" and hope that they move on to someone else. But getting back to the question, I definitely curate my "projects" in my head, which are sometimes as Bill Thelen, sometimes as Lump Lipshitz or part or TeamLump or some other name I work under.

JC: I have seen a lot of your work, as part of group shows, and as part of TeamLump, but 'Minor Character' is the first time that I have gotten to see a solo show of yours. It's funny, and amazing, that even your solo shows have a 'group show' aesthetic, except everything congeals and compliments the other work, in a way that is almost impossible to do with a group show. I'm not saying everything makes perfect sense but your individual works seem to even go well together when they otherwise shouldn't.

BT: I am semi-conscious of the connection of the pieces, but I don't really try too hard to make things work as a cohesive unit. I have always been interested in disjointed narrative structures. People always make a story out of anything, so I prefer to let the spectator do the work. I'm just supplying the props, characters, and sets.


JC: What are your thoughts on this?

BT: There are two things I am responding to: 1- Henry Waxman is an awesome dude. Bald, strong, democrat, liberal, and Jewish; all things I hold close to my heart. 2 - I love the Wall Street Journal illustrations and would love to add this one to my collection. May I have it?

JC: I will sell it to you for the price of one unit of diet pepsi max.

BT: I think TeamLump should be sponsored by Diet Pepsi Max. Look into that. I will pick up a case tonight!

JC: Do you know if Diet Pepsi Max comes in kegs? And, if so, how does that relate into the meaning of all your artwork?

BT: It's all about positive energy, youthful synchronicity and telekinesis. At this time I do not believe that Diet Pepsi Max is available in the "keg" format.
