Claire Sherman, it seems, has finally got some free time. Since I got in touch with Sherman about doing a Q&A for us, she’s come off a solo show at DCKT Gallery, moved to Brooklyn for a residency at the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation, opened another solo show at Pippy Houldsworth in London and taught an intensive painting course at Oxbow. And what’s she going to do with that time? She says she is “looking forward to making some big bad mistakes in the studio, and having time to clean up my own mess,”—which I think needs to be one of the 10 Commandments of painting for all of us from here on out. Read on to see what else she’s thinking about.
Please give our readers a little bit of information about yourself.
I grew up in Oberlin, Ohio, and it was a wonderful place to grow up – there are always concerts and plays at the college, and the Allen Art Museum is a gem. I went to the University of Pennsylvania for my BA, and I received my MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2005. I teach painting and drawing at Knox College in Illinois, and am currently on junior leave to be a resident at the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation’s Space Program in DUMBO, Brooklyn. (more…)

Please tell our readers a little bit about your background.

Francesca diMattio, another Brooklyn-based painter, but I see a lot of connection between her work and Michael Berryhill’s.

Don’t watch this if you have a weak stomach.
I met Peter last fall, and got to see some of his performances in person. All of his pieces are one-shots, never repeated except in documented form. His website has several of these. He’s Brooklyn-based now, but grew up in the midwest.

Lisa Sanditz lives in Brooklyn, but her 2006 solo show, Flyover, at the Kemper Museum of Art, dealt with some of the more humorous aspects of the Midwestern Landscape, like Subtropolis (above). The Kansas City Subtropolis is on my mind because it also figures into Deb Sokolow’s current installation at the Kemper, you are one step closer to learning the truth (post forthcoming).
