Jörg Heiser, critic, co-editor of Frieze Magazine and co-publisher of Frieze, gives a presentation of Sterling Ruby, putting his practice into a broader context where both Ruby’s inspiration and historical references, such as minimalism, Mike Kelley and brutalistic architecture, and Ruby’s later “softer” works are discussed.
