Maggie West & Ryder Ripps: Pornhub Nation

Artists Maggie West and Ryder Ripps are here to talk about their huge immersive art installation PORNHUB NATION which launches July 14th in Los Angeles! What is conceptual art, what is an Art Whore? When something is too mainstream, is it uninteresting? Do all artists get off on controversy? What’s it like to date a male pornstar as a civilian? Do artists just see art in everything, a la the plastic bag in American Beauty? Who can get away with more, artists or pornstars? Is porn racist? Are artists liars? Are people now more narcissistic than ever? Is that a product of social media, or is social media the product of our narcissism? Can you still call yourself an “artist” if you don’t make a living off of it? Is art possible without suffering? Also, shoutout to Rush Wheels.
