“Collaboration is competitive” – this is the tag line for the artist collective Type A, composed of Adam Ames and Andrew Bordwin. Their projects stretch across the mediums of video, photography, sculpture, and installation – using different formats less for their own sake and more for their appropriateness in relation to a given idea. This malleability allows them to stage installations that are more like interventions in various non-art spaces such as the city streets or a high school gym. This dialogue details the impetus behind these works, which, more often than not, is a slightly antagonistic back and forth between the two men. It is of no surprise then, that the tropes of authority, masculinity, and even homoeroticism surface in their engagement and their artistic creations.
