Gardar is my favorite artist. I know I already said that about everyone else I interviewed, but it’s really Gardar. I’ll tell you why—he’s hilarious. Sure, he looks scary with his tattoos and stuff, but underneath it all he’s just having a laugh.

Vice: Level with me, are you going to Art Basel?

Gardar Eide Einarsson: That’s what everyone’s saying!
Just to install your work?
“The Station.”
That’ll be difficult with for you, with the whole not-drinking be-healthy thing you’ve got going right now.
How’s that rigmarole going?
How many days a week are you jogging?
How long for?
That’s a pretty long jog.
Wait, you mean like business suits?
You’re kidding?
That’s what I keep hearing. Anyway, back to the Miami thing, you don’t know if you’ll go?
From Norway?

Well, that’ll be nice!
How so?
Wait, this was after the fair? Did you go to the fair?
So you actually haven’t been to the fair?
I guess you should go then.
You mean it’s a little bit… ah…
No, I mean do you think all the partying is detrimental to, or detracts from, the actual art fair?
