I interviewed American sculptor Joel Morrison today, who is in town for his solo exhibition opening at Gagosian. Down the length of Gagosian's immaculate and sterile space was an equally immaculately presented series of twelve stainless steel sculptures by the 36 year-old Seattle-born, LA based artist, touted by some as being one of the most…
