Vlad Smolkin is a painter who lives and works in Baltimore, MD. He also runs CPM, a multifaceted exhibition space. We talk about making art as psycho-spiritual alien shit, taking the long view, the language of abstraction and the synchronicity of found objects, the exhibition as a collaboration, running a gallery as an artist, and the underestimated culture value and power of artists.
