Josephine Meckseper on the Politics That Inform Her Artwork

One of the artist Josephine Meckseper’s earliest memories is looking at the miscellany that her parents collected in their Worpswede, Germany, home. “I think that there’s a lot of similarity, actually, between the town where I grew up — being this utopian artist colony — and Manhattan,” says Meckseper, currently a New York resident. “At the core, they’re very creative and inspiring places.” In the latest installment of T’s “What Made Me” video series by Poppy de Villeneuve, the T@10 contributor discusses the political aspect of her artworks and FAT Magazine, her conceptual project that doubled as a declaration of love to New York City.
