Danziger Projects (James Desk), 2009 by Joseph O. Holmes

JBG artist and 20x200 superstar, Joseph O. Holmes, was interviewed on Behance's creative productivity and organization blog 99%. Joe's series Workspace was the focus of the conversation, which is his "ongoing attempt to examine the quasi-private spaces people carve out of their public work lives."

From the interview:

99%: What makes a particular space interesting to you?

Joe: I'm immediately drawn to a workspace filled to the brim, dense and layered, accumulated over a long period of time. I like to believe that a workspace reveals much about the person who works there, but honestly, that aspect doesn't interest me. My main criterion is how it looks—the lighting, the colors, the repeating details. I'm drawn to the odd symmetry, to the overall shape of a space. And of course the things—the photos and tools and notes. Everything else—the usefulness, the organization—is secondary. I don't consider the project documentary or typology work; it's about the strange beauty of these accidental sculptures. But of course I'm happy if people take more from the images.

For those of you in New York, you can also see images from theWorkspace series in-person; they are currently on view at Rag & Bone in Soho (119 Mercer Street). Joe's Prospect Park #2, of which there are a handful left on 20x200, will also be featured in Mixtape, opening at Jen Bekman Gallery tonight from 6–8 p.m.
