Interview

Rainald Schumacher: Most of your works do have meaningful titles. Who are the Lords of Kolbojnik and the Sisters of Kolbojnik? (1)
Tal R: The Lord is the figure that arises from memory. The figure is the sum of where I am from. Kolbojnik is a Hebrew Yiddish word for garbage box. Sisters of Kolbojnik is more specific. It refers to a Danish feminist band from the seventies called Shit and Chanel. There are so many things to remember and forget. To remember and forget is like being on a train that doesn't stop at any station. Figure is when the train breaks down. So figure is not something I sit down and decide. It is more like a chance that arises from painting.

(1) Titles of paintings by Tal R from 2002/03.
