Joe Exotic Called Us From Federal Prison. He's Not Enjoying the Food.

2 days ago | interviewmagazine.com | Emily Sandstrom

A few hours before “Joe Exotic,” née Joseph Maldonado, called me from federal detention in Forth Worth, Texas, I had underlined a sentence in Jay McInerney’s beloved novel Bright Lights Big City that would come to take on a special resonance: “Everything becomes symbol and irony when you have been betrayed.” Little did I know that sentiment would seem to underscore the conversation I would have with the incarcerated wild animal breeder, who’s currently working on an appeal for his 20-year...

WEDNESDAY 10:45AM, MAY 7, 2025 SOHOHow far apart are the worlds of fashion and art, exactly? For Jonathan Lyndon Chase, the gap is increasingly slim. This spring, the Philadelphia-based artist continues their collaboration with Acne Studios by transforming the brand’s SoHo store into an immersive sculptural maze.
Getting Up Close and Personal with Painters Emma McIntyre and Richard Hawkins

1 week ago | interviewmagazine.com | Emily Sandstrom

Born in New Zealand and now based in Los Angeles, the artist Emma McIntyre is no stranger to frequent travel. But the vibrant art scene of Hong Kong, the site of her second exhibition with David Zwirner, is a bit farther afield than even McIntyre ever imagined herself. Titled Among my swan, a name she’s borrowed from Mazzy Star, the show demonstrates the artist’s taste for chromatic abstractions that transcend the limits of language.
How Edi Patterson Turned Judy Gemstone Into Television Royalty

1 week ago | interviewmagazine.com | Emily Sandstrom

In The Righteous Gemstones, chaos reigns supreme–and sitting in the messy center of it all is Judy Gemstone, the hilariously unfettered, foul-mouthed and emotionally volcanic daughter of televangelist royalty, played by Edi Patterson.
Rashid Johnson and Jeremy O. Harris on Black Creatives, White Villains, and the Spirituality of Art

2 weeks ago | interviewmagazine.com | Emily Sandstrom

Handsome, sober, a devoted family man, and one of the most celebrated artists in America, Rashid Johnson stays winning. Few artists have thrived while pushing in so many different directions—photography, film, mosaics, towering glass installations, even black soap and wax. Now, at 48, he’s landing a major Guggenheim retrospective titled A Poem for Deep Thinkers. Ahead of the exhibition, Johnson got on the phone with playwright and Interview consigliere Jeremy O.
Ebecho Muslimova, in Conversation With Carroll Dunham

Joe Apollonio on Recurring Dreams, Bisexual Fantasies, and His Very First Erection

3 weeks ago | interviewmagazine.com | Emily Sandstrom

Joe Apollonio has squeezed a lot into his 33 years. He’s been sober for eight of them, and portrayed his own mother in a one-man play, and was even in Young Sheldon for one single episode before being recast. But most recently, the New York actor stars alongside Chloë Sevigny and Simon Rex in Amalia Ulman’s second feature, Magic Farm, a tongue-in-cheek indie that follows a bunch of useless “VICE-adjacent” journalists on a trip to Argentina in helpless pursuit of a trend story.
Madeline Brewer Tells Us What It's Like to Be Penn Badgley's Final Girl

3 weeks ago | interviewmagazine.com | Emily Sandstrom

This week, Joe Goldberg claims his final victim as the beloved Netflix thriller You hurtles toward it’s end inevitable, violent end. Seven years and five seasons later, Penn Badgley’s creepy, charming antagonist will meet (and set his sights on) Bronte, a recent NYC transplant played by the actor Madeline Brewer.
“Humans Can Be Very Depressing”: David Cronenberg, By Jim Jarmusch

3 weeks ago | interviewmagazine.com | Emily Sandstrom

Minutes before David Cronenberg logged onto Zoom with Jim Jarmusch this past January, news broke—David Lynch had died. The loss of a friend and fellow auteur cast a shadow over their conversation, a stark reminder of mortality, legacy, and the fragile line between life and death. It was an oddly fitting backdrop for Cronenberg, an artist who has spent his career exploring the darkest corners of the human psyche, where flesh, mind, and technology collide.
A Weekend at the Dallas Art Fair

3 weeks ago | interviewmagazine.com | Emily Sandstrom

Over the years, I’ve heard many conflicting descriptions of the Dallas Art Fair; that it’s wild and wacky, or boring and tepid, filled with oil scions, cowboys, gay cowboys, hipsters, a place where old money meets frantic coastal dealers. This year, it was time for me to figure it out for myself.
