A recurring inside/outside position: in 2007–08, working from inside the art school system, half in awe of a world he wasn't sure he belonged to. Now working fully outside it, on his own path — and that outside position may be exactly what's needed to return to Breaking Down Art's unfinished questions with clear eyes.

How this was found

Named in the same Venice/Münster linchpin session: a recurring inside/outside position — in 2007–08 working from inside the art-school system, half in awe of a world he wasn't sure he belonged to; now fully outside it, on his own path — and that outside position may be exactly what's needed to return to Breaking Down Art's unfinished questions.
