Starting the weekend off right with Vik Muniz May 24, 2004 | Archives Another Saturday morning, and still, people show up! We’re very impressed with the JA’s dedication to early am art. But this one was well worth it as we had the pleasure of hearing from artist Vik Muniz at Brent Sikkema Gallery. Vik spoke about everything from his work process (collaged hole punchings from magazines to form copies of old masters works, plus giving us a tip: golf magazines make a good source for the color green), to the biology of the eye, to his thoughts on the importance of art education. I, for one, am eagerly anticipating Vik’s book, which is due out at the end of the summer, as I enjoyed hearing him speak so much, but alas, lack his brain capacity to retain all of that information. I’d also like to add that Brent Sikkema gallery spoiled us rotten by not only arranging our talk with Vik but also providing quite a breakfast spread.
