Artist Projects and Collaborations
From Lindsay's early days in New York amidst the burgeoning art and music scene of the East Village, he was able to befriend and collaborate with a number of visual artists who have gone on to important careers in art. With Diego Cortez (born James Curtis) — who would become the artistic director for all his solo endeavors starting in the mid 1990s — Lindsay became immersed in an art community that included Jean-Michel Basquiat, Nan Goldin, Francesco Clemente and Andy Warhol. Since then, Lindsay has included the work of Goldin, Kara Walker, Matthew Barney, Philip Taffe and Frédéric Bruly Bouabré on his albums.
He has also collaborated with Canadian artist Rodney Graham at an exhibition at Deitch Projects, and as part of a sound-art exhibition at PS1, a gallery in New York.
Arto Lindsay has written the epilogue for the official biography of the German experimental band Einstürzende Neubauten No beauty without danger (German title: Nur was nicht ist, ist möglich).

Famous quotes containing the words artist and/or projects:
“An artist needn’t be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.”
—Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
