GRAYSON REVOIR GIVES INTIMATE INTERVIEW
What about your cell phone? Do you leave it on when you work? Do you like getting calls or texts in the studio?
G- To be honest, I don’t think I really notice it much. I leave it on all the time. When I do notice I have a text message or an email I get excited. I feel really excited when people contact me. When someone is telling me about some event or asking me a question I want to know what that is right away. I like having that device. I will usually have it on somewhere in the studio and maybe it will get covered by a shirt or a tool and then I forget about it until I find it again. I guess it adds to the distraction but I try and embrace it.

WEST STREET IN FLASH ART ONLINE
Bozidar Brazda: I wonder if the present popularity of the apartment gallery, as a kind of viable alternative exhibition space, can be attributed in part to a generation of young curators who are not only comfortable with the idea of working anywhere (i.e. via an iphone) but with the concept that socializing, networking and working are becoming increasingly interchangeable pursuits, and that the separation of public and private space is soon to be a thing of the past. By this rationale, do you feel that running an art gallery, or another boutique business, out of a domestic space is the way of the future? Is it in some way the physical manifestation of our online habits? Our willingness to invite people ‘in’?
Matt Moravec: I wouldn’t go so far as to say that apartment galleries are more popular now than they have been in the past. Leo Castelli, for instance, first operated out of a floor in his brownstone. So did Matthew Marks. Colin de Land first sold paintings out of his apartment, and Gavin Brown sold Elizabeth Peytons in a room in the Chelsea Hotel. I think apartment galleries have more to do with working with what one has rather than creating an alternative to an existing system. It is true that things like social networking and cell phones have allowed us to reach more people — but they’re really just tools…
