Q: If you could have dinner with any artist, living or dead, who would it be and why?
A: I’d pick Gavin Turk for dinner. it would be to discuss the tension between artistic legacy and impermanence—a theme central to his work. I’d ask how he reconciles irony with sincerity in an art world that often commodifies both, and whether he believes conceptual art can still provoke in an era of relentless self-curation. The meal itself would be secondary. Though if the food’s bad, we could just declare it ‘conceptual’ and call it a day.
