Family Portraits
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
The Allen kids are a complicated set of sibs right up there with Abel and Cain or Donnie and Marie. Brett Allen makes abstract acrylic paintings. Maggie Allen made further abstractions of some of these paintings using colored pencils. They decided to conjoin these twin images into a brother and sister show called “Pareidolia.” This showcase of art and ready-made “forgeries” sets up a mock family feud between the Allen brood, one which spilled over into our interview, in which Brett provided answers and Maggie supplied forgeries of those answers. The following took place over a long night of therapeutic soul-searching over the nature of family and art—and a long night of drinking. Mostly drinking. The accompanying podcast is the Maggie Allen half of the interview, because Brett Allen doesn't deserve to be associated with this idiocy. WARNING! NSFW! (unless you work in a brothel staffed by hookers with Tourette's)
