It was so nice getting together with Genesis Baez to catch up and hear about what she’s been up to. We first met at Skowhegan a few summers ago, a time when she was just coming out of grad school at Yale.
Since then, she’s started teaching at Pratt and the New School, has a new book coming out next year with Capricious, and this past month, opened a show with Jenny Calivas in Justine Kurland’s studio space called Silt of Each Other. Genesis’ work often deals with her roots growing up between the US and Puerto Rico. It’s sometimes surreal, other times more steeped in reality, and always leaves the meaning of what you’re looking at open to interpretation. We recorded this conversation in New York in October.
