Tell me about your work? What are you currently working on? How is this different from past projects?
I'm currently working on self-publishing a photo book. The book is called A is for Elsewhere, and is the result of a recent artist residency at Elsewhere, a "living museum" in Greensboro, North Carolina.
How did you decide to become an artist?
When I was five years old I found an open can of deck paint and painted myself completely red. It has never really worn off.

What was the best advice given to you as an artist?
"Throw your work away." - Victor Caglioti
I struggle with that a lot, and like most artists I don't have the answers. But I do have a website, www.stevenlang.net

Who are some of the Minnesota artists you enjoy?
Many, many more!
If I were to follow you around to see art in Minnesota, which places would we go? What would we see?
I would walk around with my camera, mostly, and find the art I'm looking for that way. But recently I've been to Air Sweet Air, SooVAC, Midway Contemporary Art, and the MCAD Gallery.

In addition to www.Local-Artist-Interviews.
I like Tumbr for that. Here are some examples:

What can we expect to see from you in the future?
I am currently showing work in the Artists in Storefronts project. I'm also their documentary photographer.
