How did you first get connected with the people at Teddy’s, and how did the idea for this show come to fruition?
In 1988, Hank Linhardt organized a video show at Teddy’s. I did a hand-silkscreened card for that show which is on display there now. That marks my first connection with Teddy’s. The idea for this show ‘When We Were Ancient’ was proposed to me by [owners] Felice and Glenn Kirby to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their tavern. I jumped right on it. It was a no-brainer. Teddy’s and the Williamsburg art scene grew up together.
