Artist Irena Jurek talks about: her blog featuring artist studio visits, her YouTube studio visit interviews, her curating, and how she was known for these other endeavors before she became known as an artist and ultimately all three (artist, curator, writer); the sexual nature of her art, to what degree it describes her life experiences, and how her work has be responded to with a surprisingly moralistic and Puritanical response in New York among a small but vocal part of the art community; the arc of her career and the seven years she's been in New York, to the point where she's now making a living from her work, and how that came to be.
