Photographer Daniel Gordon reflects on his decade-long commitment to artistic invention alongside wife and sculptor Ruby Sky Stiler in the latest ART21 "New York Close Up" film.
“I was curious—and still am curious—if there was a way to make non-representational images [that are still] related to my photographs,” says Gordon. “I'm interested to see where the line between a photograph, and a painting, and a sculpture lies.”

Richard Tuttle reflects on the conceptual, thematic, and stylistic threads from his 26 New York gallery exhibitions—demonstrated through an exhibition at Pace Gallery earlier this year—in a new ART21 "Exclusive" series episode.
"I'm very committed to the idea of making an art that stays contemporary," says the artist in the episode. "The actual artwork is a combination of the kinds of things that only happen once and the kinds of things that happen always."
