The introspective voice. This takes courage, to question the integrity of one's work in its origins and purpose. I hear this voice in Agnes Martin, and others, but it is rare. It is quiet, honest, holds the courage of not-knowing, in a foundation of ineffable love.
Very well phrased. This is an artist I could follow around and listen to for a very long time and know I'd constantly be learning something consciously or subconsciously. This video is a golden nugget.
I agree. She has a thoughtful way of speaking that draws you into her inner creative life, born I'm sure out of great self awareness and years of reflection on her process.
Phyllida Barlow is an amazing artist, I absolutely love all her work - and the way she talks about her process and the way she thinks about her work is always really interesting and inspiring. Thanks for sharing this video!
So good on so many levels. The cycle of damage and repair Phyllida describes here is a vital source of enlightenment and nourishment for me right now. Thanks, Louisiana Channel .
Thank you Louisiana Channel for having introduced PB to your audience 5 mo ago. It was a starting point to me diving into her work. Now that she has sadly passed away I am even more grateful to you that you chose her and her work for one of your always interesting films during her life time.
Phyllida is so inspiring to listen to! Her process is so fascinating to see how it goes from drawing to sculpture. I love the philosophy behind damage and repair or replace objects and relationships. What gorgeous scenery, those river boat homes are fantastic. Thank you for sharing!
Put simply and succinctly, Ms. Barlow is a Bad- ass. Her installations are thought- provoking and beautiful and have a strange vibratory quality that is reminiscent of some Surrealist works, without as much angst. And I love her distance from Sir Henry Moore.
I can see why many successful wealthy artists like Barlow (who own massive studios filled w/ tons of materials) are thinking about the impact they have on the environment. And I wonder if future artists will only make digital art...and museums, galleries, etc., will only exist online. 😏
We would no longer see the hand of the artist, the textures, the forms and the feeling of the work in space or even the true colors in various light. You could never expect artists to give up-the feel of their tools in their hands. An image on a screen is backlit, Digital is another medium entirely.
All this story telling! The paintings and sculpture have no relationship except for the story! You shouldn’t have to tell a story for the viewer to understand the artwork. Ugly and failure should never be the end product of artwork period! The truth and beauty always rise to the top in real art!
I think that’s the whole point - there doesn’t have to exist any similarity. The production of the drawings creates contemplative time away from the urgency on production.
@@b3n3d1ct10n Then art becomes pointless, and so does contemplation! An exercise in intellectual agility should give rise to a cognition. And that in itself gives rise to a starting point and a solution! Otherwise it ends in constant repetition with no attainable outcome! Neither Art creation ,nor contemplation should lead to nowhere, No Goal no gain. No gain no purpose!
You're imposing personal aesthetics and assumptions onto all art, when the actuality of something existing as art is open ended. Art must be beautiful? Art must have no context to the artist? Art must be understood? Art must have a purpose? This is a closed system with no room for imagination. It's entirely possible for something to be good art and for you to not enjoy it or understand it. Perhaps other people do. Your interpretation has meaning to you, and that's valid, but consider that the definition of beauty or ugliness varies for each individual and the organic nature of being human allows for infinite experiences. Curiosity leads to exploration of the unknown.
You are imposing your own notions of what is both truthful and beautiful to make vacuous, superficial judgements about the work. I would wager for every person that thinks it looks like piles of industrial waste there’s many more, myself included, that find these pieces breathtakingly beautiful, wistful, mysterious, composed, and ironically monumental. And that is the entire point of Art, in any form, it is a litmus test, a mirror held up to your own sensibilities and expectations. For all your, ahem, ‘cognitions’ (I mean what’s wrong with the simpler, clearer ‘thoughts’?) I don’t think you have any idea of what you are really talking about. You might of said I don’t like the work and think it’s junk and done better, but instead you pretend to be some authority about the most subjective and surface qualities in all of Art, not to mention experience, and thus end up wayyy over your skis, talking like a pompous wanker about work you barely comprehend, calling that inadequacy virtuous, and projecting all your own baggage onto the work! Kind of hilarious
I like her paintings quite a bit. They look complete, but not in her mind. I guess that is why she calls them drawings. The sculptures reminiscent in grandeur of Henry Moore's to me are quite ugly.
" find the unfindable " So Im going to fill the world with massive pieces of "sculpture " ? Worried about using materials and recycling ? Jusy stop doing it I suggest. BIG does not mean better.

This interview has unlocked some answers I had no words for in my own process.

She's great Phyllida Barlow - and always worth listening to. Very interesting her concerns about sustainability in her art-making.
“We are all a collection of memories.” Subtle words. Great wisdom. Great art.
This documentary was incredible, so much to think about. What a great mind Phyllida has
So good on so many levels. The cycle of damage and repair Phyllida describes here is a vital source of enlightenment and nourishment for me right now. Thanks, Louisiana Channel .
I appreciated the contemplation of materials, waste and deliberate intentions of handling these issues for current and future art(its).

She’s so chill and articulate, I enjoyed watching the video-thank you.
I'm very captivated by her explanation but I'm going to have to rewatch this a few times to let her thoughts sink in.
Ayyyy! This is exactly what I’ve needed to hear right now
Thank you for this beautiful interview/talk. It reminds me to stay true to my own internal vision for the work!
Wonderful artist.

WOW. This is seriously soooooooo beautifully well done. I LOVE her and her work. So refreshing and inspiring :)
It’s the multiple drawing studios for me … I’m in love.
i loved this in every way, she is an incredible artist.
incredible - she was a role model
The world misses you oh genius Phyllida
that stairway sculpture slaps so damn hard
De cualquier forma nosotras también somos un ciclo de daños y reparación. Hermosa
There is not a skip big enough to put this woman's work in.
Perhaps the yawning, empty chasm that is what passes for your imagination will do there pal!
Sad she transitioned this year, March 2023. At least her words will go on as well as her art, thank you.

자연스럽게 돌아가야 한다. 자연으로부터 온 것이든 인간의 손에 의한 것이든.
It's call maintenance
LC producers... more art in the b roll, less holding the static interview shot. Voice over... please.
Not your everyday B&Q stop n chat
Drawing with a paintbrush and completing a paint-based artwork... is Painting.
rip
