Michele Araujo interviews Suzanne Joelson on the occasion of Joelson’s exhibition Slipping Systems at Studio 10, Bushwick, Brooklyn, on view through November 13, 2016.

Joelson comments: “I plot things out and let unanticipated relationships happen. The plot becomes a launching pad for a more open activity… The source and implications of my materials are engaging, but they are a McGuffin for the larger consideration of how things change.”
