Notes on Steve Kolpan

• His art is "Video minimalism" based on personal performances allows for true intimacy between intention and activity
• Parents were very open about sex to hi as he was growing up
• Never shared a room, as his brothers did. This gave him ways to fantasize and have privacy for his sexuality. 
• His family was pleasure-positive
• His mother pushed him to be open to life, be outgoing
• Nature became highly erotic better world for animals water sky etc
• Sexuality had a larger control to his life but how slowly he is finding the balance, departing from erotic performance
