Artist Conversation: Martin Puryear and Theaster Gates

[@larsetom1]

I love the dynamic that they both have together. Puyear, always clear and to the point, and not just any point, but a profound point, to which Theaster Gates has to respond. Gates is getting schooled here, but from someone that admires him very much. My favorite sculptor is Martin Puyear - period

yes! not just any point: a profound point. And may I also add a precise profound point.

Instablaster.

[@renantelesdemelo]

as a brazilian, mixed race black artist, hearing Martin talk about Brazil was mindblowing. spot on!

I enjoyed every bit of this conversation

Anyone knows who this female artist Martin Puryear talks about (8:12), whose work consisted in charts, showing minuscule percentages of black, female and latinos in the New York galeries ? :)

I listen to it sometimes as "background music" as I work on my computer...

Passing of the torch

Taught me .

4 minutes of introduction by people who are not the artists. This is too much time to devote to the video before the viewer starts to get rewarded for clicking.
