Brooklyn-based artist Ted Mineo talks about: his experience being courted by and then showing with Jeffrey Deitch for the last two years before Deitch Projects closed its doors; The Debutante’s Ball, the article in the New York Times that rather sensationally portrayed his forming artist persona and emergence into the New York art world; the day jobs he began working after leaving the gallery, including toy making and artist assisting; his experience as a young art teacher, sometimes younger than his students, and what type of personality and teaching styles he discovered worked best.
