UK artist Jamie Moakes tackles some serious economic questions through an admittedly somewhat absurd quest: manipulating the market for Ram Man action figures in order to turn said action figures into valuable currency. I sat down with Jamie at Interstitial Gallery in Seattle and over the course of a handful of bourbon and gingers, got to know this witty, charming and generally delightful fellow. Plus he's got that lovely British accent that makes everything he says sound more authoritative to American ears (I'm so goddamn provincial). |
