WOOL: Was it you or Kippenberger who said, “When you run out of ideas, you make a diptych”?

OEHLEN: Well, it’s a saying. If you run out of ideas, you make a triptych.

WOOL: Have you made any triptychs recently?

OEHLEN: No.

WOOL: ’Cause that’s a terrible idea.

OEHLEN: I’m not running out of ideas. [laughs]

WOOL: No, but we’re talking about bad painting. Would you dare to make a triptych? ’Cause that’s a seriously terrible thing.

OEHLEN: It is bad, yeah—it’s a challenge.
