Junior Sedgewick is a painter, self-taught, and if you haven’t heard of him, you will. He was recently discovered by a very important Parisian art dealer, but we can’t talk about it officially until summer. His full name is Reginald Acidophilus Rutabaga Sedgewick, but we just call him Junior. For his canvases, he takes ten by ten discarded steel plates and quarters them, so everything’s five by five.

Virgil is a storyteller and performance artist. In the 1980s, he created a piece, loosely based on the inner turmoil of a traveling salesman, during which he used duct tape to adhere cold cuts all over his body. (He doesn’t like to talk about it.) In recent years, he has evolved into a more low-tech storyteller.
