The first time I started trying to track down information on an artist rather than a rock band was, I think, back in 1988. I was 18, at the University of North Texas and an art appreciation class introduced me to Chris Burden along with the idea that a person would have himself shot or crucified or potentially electrocuted to death for the sake of art. And this was far more rock-and-roll than I had ever believed art could be, and so with that, my interest in contemporary art kicked in. Burden is why I have this job, and have been sucked back into jobs around art, again and again, for what is now decades.
