Editor: This is "I believe in my own puberty" by Christian Lindow, a simple, almost austere work. It just states the artist's name and that phrase. It’s so minimal, I almost don’t know what to make of it. What do you see in it? Curator: It speaks to the politicization of the personal that was emerging in the 1970s, doesn’t it? Lindow's declaration challenges conventional notions of authority, both artistic and societal. What kind of power dynamic do you think is being alluded to? Editor: It's interesting to consider it as a political statement, almost like a personal manifesto rejecting societal expectations. It feels very raw and honest. Curator: Exactly. It's a quiet rebellion, using the language of institutional documentation, like a typed manuscript, to subvert those very structures. Editor: I hadn't considered that before, about using the institutional language itself as the tool. That's a really insightful way to look at it. Curator: It shows how art can be found even in the most unexpected places.
