Rather than rely on future conservators or curators to address this issue, Cohen, Frank, and Ippolito have chosen to step out on this aesthetic limb while they are still alive and kicking. To do this they invited a select group of curators to suggest alternative media, from oil paint to video to virtual reality, in which to execute one of their artworks. The three artists then executed the versions they decided were legitimate interpretations of the original work. The Artists Janet Cohen, Keith Frank, and Jon Ippolito have been exploring the conflict inherent in the collaborative process since they began working together in 1992. While their earlier adversarial collaborations took the form of an installation, book, or drawing, their recent projects take advantage of the Internet's capacity for encouraging flame wars and other clashes of perspective.
