In Conversation: Stanya Kahn discusses the work of Llyn Foulkes

Stanya Kahn is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in video, with a practice that includes performance, writing, sound design, drawing, animation, and digital media. Kahn’s hybrid practice borrows from pop vernacular, documentary tropes, improvisation, comedy, and experimental film and video. In 2011, she made Happy Song for You in collaboration with Llyn Foulkes, which demonstrates their shared preoccupations, including appropriations of popular culture, the uses of humor and violence, interactions between images and museum, among many other things. The video, which premiered at the New Museum, features an original song written and performed by Foulkes, and the carefully crafted soundtrack is a signature element of Kahn’s work. This conversation between Kahn and New Museum Assistant Curator, Margot Norton, considers Foulkes’s work through Kahn’s own practice and their artistic dialogue.
