Barry McGee video on ArtTalk

April 22nd, 2008

Watch this two-part conversation between artists Aaron Rose and Barry McGee(Season 1) on VBS’s ArtTalk. While the video features live shots of McGee’s artwork and installations, the interview subjects are recast as animated robotic talking heads, as though the dialogue was fed into a Speak & Spell. As elusive and reluctant to talk about his work as ever, here McGee lets his artwork literally speak for itself.

Here’s part 2.

    this video is awesome – for anyone interested, there is a film coming out in August directed by Aaron Rose (the red disembodied head here) featuring all the beautiful losers artists, which includes the eccentric mr McGee here.
