"It's very intimate, and yet, it's very large and anonymous," said the artist of the work. "This quality of solitude and being in a congregation of people...the feeling of that is actually very comforting and something that we need." --Ann Hamilton

"Artists are some of the savviest, inventive people. They have to manage a really illogical pursuit. The rest of the world is a lot more logical. Every artist I know is dealing with a lot of stress, and a lot of desire, and a lot of curiosity." --Diana Al-Hadid

From the September/October "Happiness" issue:
Guest editor Alicia Eler introduces "Happiness"--the theme of the September/October issue of the ART21 Magazine. Writer Eve Peyser examines the correlation between depression, creativity, and intelligence, outlining a personal, tongue-in-cheek guidebook for making a happy artist. Contributor Rob Horning looks at Tender, the Tinder meat-swiper art project, as a launching point for discussing the automation of dating practices and the assumptions about happiness that they present. Writer Corinna Kirsch looks at the current trend in art of pursuing happiness toward self-betterment, asking if this is what guides artists to some semblance of happiness.
