Art Attack International and their projects are very personal to me, I first experienced their work in 1995 when I was in College. They did a project a five minute walk from my home and it has stuck with me throughout my entire career. I had a chance to talk with two of the founders Lynn McCary + Evan Hughes. We discussed: making collaborative art, being disillusioned with the art market, arts funding, Archives and Legacy planning, and the punk / DIY ethos.
