What fascinates me about Warhol is that it's hard to pin down his subject matter or even his statement, which is antithetical to the multicultural politics of the '90s when statement and position were everything. What I find even more interesting is how certain things are performed. There's a kind of dissolution of the whole person being there as the director of the art-making or ideas. The Warholian personality seems to be completely dysfunctional and yet you wonder if somehow this person has taken charge of the dysfunction--or maybe not. You can't tell if they're running the show or they're just a victim of a screwed-up process. As a model, it's much more layered and interesting to look at that than to just make a statement against commercialism. It has the potential to come closer to some kernel of truth.--AS TOLD TO MICHAEL LOBEL
