Artist Interview: Ara Zeibarian

This interview is with Upper Darby, Pennsylvania artist, Ara Zeibarian. His process includes keeping an "idea book" which details possible formal moves to incorporate into his works yet to come. Zeibarian also enjoys being liberated by "winging it" and how this practice "uncovers things I didn't know I was caring about." Listen below for more!

    I am a fan of many of the artists you've interviewed and enjoyed your interviews very much, Phillip. As you probably know from FB, I have a solo show up in NYC right now and would love to have an interview on your site coincide with the show. My personal web url is: www.suzannekammin.com The work in the show is under "Paintings > Recent Work". The gallery's address is: sjprojectsnyc.com Any chance of getting an interview?
