Heilmann seemed especially accessible to young artists like Chou because she discussed Gordon Matta-Clark in one breath and Metallica in the next. “High culture and popular culture are kind of evening out, so that it’s pretty much all the same,” Heilmann said, though she admits that “some [culture] is better than others...
