2005feb11. A conversation with Carl Cheng from 2002. One of my favorite artists – I don’t know when this interview became available, I was just typing it in from the magazine and thought “you know ... ” He created the Santa Monica Art Tool. I wish I had seen his first Art Tool, which was a coin-operated mechanism on the pier.
