Christian Schiedemann with Matthew Barney

A photo of Christian Schiedemann conducting a Skype interview with artist Matthew Barney during The First Crack symposium on April 25, 2015. In a darkened room, a man sits in the left foreground, holding a microphone in both hands. He looks up at the large screen behind him, where a larger-than-life image of a light-skinned man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a baseball cap speaks from a massive foundry.
