Artist Matthew Kern
Matthew Kern emailed me last week to see if I would be interested in photographing him for a book project he is working on. I did not know him, but I was pleasantly surprised to realize that I was familiar with his work and considered it some of the best Polaroid art I’ve ever encountered.
I immediately agreed to meet with him and also talked with him a bit about his work and he will be in my next Defektive Arts column which will hit the street on April 10th. And…WOW..how cool was it that he gave me Polaroid film!! Fifty exposures…20 of SX-70 Time Zero and 30 Spectra exposures. Sweet!
I won’t even try to think of the mind-numbing stash that he has. It is humbling.
