Contributed by Laurie Fendrich / Kathleen Kucka and Janis Stemmermann have been friends for nearly four decades — since they first met as young artists in the 1980s in New York City. “Our life was all about art — figuring out how to get by, make work, see work, and hang out so we could talk about it. In many ways,” Janis told me, “that really hasn’t changed.” This month, on the occasion of “Continuum,” their two-person show at Re Institute in Millerton, NY, we talked about the conversation they’ve been having for the past forty years.
