GenuineFauxInterviews:
Jonathan Adler
Jonathan Adler

  1. When you are working with equipment – anything from a potter's wheel to the copy machine – and the equipment is not cooperating, are you the type of person that talks sweet to it or do you fuss and cuss at it? 
  2. The 70's are so influential in your work. If you were born a decade later, how would that have impacted your aesthetic?
  3. How much of your own work do you live with? 
  4. When is the last time you ate dinner via a vending machine? 
  5. If the machine took your money, did you talk sweet to it or did you fuss and cuss at it
  6. Your work has a certain whimsy that implies a good sense of humor. Let's put that sense of humor to the test. How funny do you find the following things:
    • Someone falling
    • Laffy Taffy wrappers
    • Any joke starting with a priest, a rabbi, and a monk walking into a bar
    • Someone getting racked
  7. You use a lot of mustaches in your work, which we love. Have you ever had a mustache? If yes, please show your work!  
  8. In America, we are painting obsessed. What would you say to encourage people to use more pottery and sculpture in their homes and offices? 
  9. Do you go to art shows? Is there a certain type of exhibit you enjoy most? 
  10. Music or talk radio?
