Here is the interview I conducted with him via e-mail.
Q: What is your favorite piece or one of your
favorite pieces you've made?
Brett Flanigan: I found this fake greek style pedestal in the trash and scribbled all over with spray paint. It can now
display objects in art galleries, such as discarded beer cans.
Q: Why do you like
it?
 |
| Brett Flanigan painted this pedestal. |
Q: What's your favorite piece of somebody else's
art, or one of your favorites?
Brett Flanigan: Carl Spitzweg’s “The Poor Poet”.
Q: Why
do you like it?
Brett Flanigan: It has a certain enigma since it has been stolen so
many times, each time as a very unique and artistic act in itself.
But I mostly like it because it is an incredibly accurate portrait of me
sitting in my room. The attic beams, the leaky roof, the bed folded up
against
the wall, etc.
