When I was traveling throughout Germany, I met a lot of German people whose ancestors had emigrated to the Baltic or Caucasus region. And so, I become interested in the roots of German culture and how it has spread to other countries.

Rigor of Form Six years ago Parkett published an issue featuring a collaboration with Richard Artschwager (No. 23, March 1990). At the time, rather than having essays commissioned on his work, the artist suggested asking authors from beyond the field of art to write on the subject of “Art and Reason.”
