Repost from @flashartmagazine using @RepostRegramApp - Flash Art mourns the loss of #JohnBaldessari (1931–2020) one of the most brilliant mind of our times. We remember the artist through this extensive interview “John Baldessari. BEFORE DAY FALLS“ by publisher @geapoliti originally appeared in #237 Jul—Sept 2004 (link in bio) “GP: Do you ever get bored of your works? JB: No, Boredom propels me. I made a famous piece where I said, “I will not make any more boring art.” And I think it’s the worst thing, but it’s also the best thing because if I get bored more easily than most people, then I’m going to be aware of not boring people. Whereas they probably wouldn’t notice. And I think that’s the best thing that can propel your art, when it doesn’t bore people. But you know, I’m putting a slightly large definition on the word boring. You know, I’m saying, “Be interesting.” That’s what I’m saying.” Image: John Baldessari, Person on Bed (Blue): With Large Shadow (Orange) and Lamp (Green), 2004.
