“To quote George Orwell: every artist ‘has a ‘message’...”

Interview with the Author: Christian Viveros-Fauné 

When the artist Alex Da Corte and the writer Charlie Fox talk about Edward Scissorhands, Frankenstein, Hercules, Michael Myers, 

, they’re also talking about beauty and body anxiety and disability and sexual attraction and queerness—the anxieties of existing physically in the world every day. Da Corte, whose elaborate videos, sculptures, and installations critically re-stage pop culture, art history, and his own life, and Fox, whose recent book 

 celebrates beautiful misfits and freaks across all walks of culture, go deep on how they live—in their minds and in their work—far from what they call normative behavior.

Visit DaCorte’s solo exhibition in New York 

 through November 3 and his work at the Venice Biennale through November 24, in the main exhibition

Episodes will be released every two weeks, and feature pairings such as artist Chris Ofili and classicist Emily Wilson; art critic Michael Glover and fashion designer Thom Browne; artist R. Crumb and cartoonist Art Spiegelman; and poet Eileen Myles and Flavin Judd, artistic director of the Judd Foundation, among many others. The series is hosted by Lucas Zwirner, head of content for David Zwirner.

Thisepisode is all about Yayoi Kusama and art in the Instagram age. JiaJia Fei, a digital guru for institutions like the Jewish Museum and the Guggenheim, and Christian Luiten, founder of the popular digital art platform Avant Arte, come together to talk authenticity vs. influence, high vs. low, art vs. accessibility, narrative vs. myth—and to diagnose the unabating online fanaticism for all things Kusama, an Instagram icon who isn’t on Instagram.

David Zwirner’s major new 

 opens in New York this November.
