The Chinese fashion magazine 1626 published a four page article about my Cult of Potato concept in the Shock section of their December 17, 2012 Issue #193. The article includes a brief summary of the history of my potato art movement and includes excerpts from an interview that took place in November 2012 following the “Occupying Potato” exhibitions at the Islip Art Museum. Includes photographs of my potato-themed events, artifacts from my collections, and a selection of my potato paintings, sculptures and installations.
The article written in Chinese is available online only as pay-to-read on the Dooland website.
Updated 1/15/13: An English translation of the article is now available thanks to the wonderful assistance of my former student, Xiao Han.

There was a nice article on the three potato-themed exhibitions I curated at the Islip Art Museum published on Sunday, October 14, 2012, written by Aileen Jacobson. I appreciate her taking the time to interview me after examining the shows piece by piece. Also thanks to Uli Seit for the great pictures. Exhibitions run through November 18, 2012.
