Interact

Ask the Artist

In our last Interact, we asked you to submit questions for artist and Smithsonian American Art Museum guest curator William Christenberry. Now, you can watch Christenberry answer your questions about his life and work!

Be sure to visit SAAM in July 2006 to see Passing Time: the Art of William Christenberry and the reinstallation of SAAM's folk art collection, curated by Christenberry.

Christenberry answers your questions:

1. How did you decide to become an artist?
2. What do you miss about living in Alabama?
3. Why did you choose to work in Washington, D.C.?
4. How do you choose what medium to work in, between sculpture, painting, photography?
5. What other places (other than Alabama) inspire or move you deeply?
6. What is your working routine? Do you listen to music while you work?
7. What advice do you give your students?

If you have comments or suggestions about this page please email us. The address is saaminteract@si.edu.
