%X This interview took place on January 26, 2012 over Skype. I, Brianne Cohen, posed a series of questions to Lucy Skaer about three of Henry VIIIs¡¯s Wives¡¯ artworks presented in this volume of Contemporaneity ¨C Spiral Betty (2004), Mr. Hysteria (2005), and The Returning Officer (2009) ¨C in order to draw out thematic connections not only among the art collective¡¯s moving-image installations, but also throughout their larger, diverse oeuvre. The six members of Henry VIII¡¯s Wives live and work in different cities, but have collaborated and exhibited together since 1997, primarily in Europe. I am thankful to Lucy Skaer for her thoughtful answers and to Henry VIII¡¯s Wives for permission to present their video and filmic work. The interview serves to introduce an artist portfolio containing three videos ¨C Spiral Betty, Mr. Hysteria, and The Returning Officer ¨C by the art collective Henry VIII¡¯s Wives.
