WHAT IS THE MOST VALUABLE PIECE OF ARTISTIC ADVICE YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED, AND FROM WHO?
“It’s hard for me to pin it down to just one. But for me working in an artistic field is a lot about attitude and believing/questioning yourself, as well as the importance of the relation between struggling and letting go in the working process. Eike König and Christoph Niemann have given some good advice about these topics.”
