Our organisms are genetically mature and dislike being called children. They wear sneakers so that they can run fast like super- powered nomads.


Interview with Jake and Dinos Chapman
Published in Journal of Contemporary Art. Link Here

Keys:

The uncanny - "when the terrifying the familiar overlap"
clones - the "horrible standardization"
The bodily creation as an "organism"
what is the "rude" aesthetic?
efflorescence, excess

note: after their initial introduction, Jake and Dino Chapman are attributed as simply "Chapman." Have they morphed into an art making/speaking creature? Who is speaking? The artists, their artistic philosphy? Their cheekiness?
