In December 2005 Barry Covats (Colorado, 1931) returned, albeit more in the form of an arts patron than an artist, launching the first annual Barry Covats Award for Future Promise at the HISK. He divides his time now between Brussels and Amsterdam. Maxine Kopsa spoke with him about the downfall of pretty pictures, the myth of palpable achievements, inaction and insurrection.
