Destroy & Rebuild: Jayson Musson, a.k.a Hennessy Youngman

Splitting time between personalities, artist Jayson Musson debuts his new show Halcyon Days today at Salon 94 Bowery in New York City. It marks a departure from his comedic, art critic-cum-lecturer alter ego Hennessy Youngman, whose popular “Art Thoughtz” video series (below) takes jabs at art world pretensions. Here, Life + Times catches up with Musson as he breaks down his show, for which he reconstructed Coogi sweaters into installations.
