FOR THIS ISSUE, Artforum has invited fashion designer Rick Owens to talk with Renaissance woman Vaginal Davis on the occasion of “Magnificent Product,” an overview of the artist’s decades-long career opening at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm on May 17. The show, organized by Hendrik Folkerts, the museum’s curator of international contemporary art and head of exhibitions, will unfold across five other venues within the city: Accelerator, Stockholm University; Index–Swedish Foundation for Contemporary Art; Moderna Dansteatern (MDT); Nationalmuseum; and Tensta Konsthall. The presentation will highlight the artist’s work in video, music, performance, publishing, painting, sculpture, photography, collage, and installation. Davis and Owens, who have been friends for more than forty years, discuss art, faggotry, sex, ambition, and Los Angeles, where the former (now based in Berlin) and the latter (who currently resides in Paris) spent their early days.
