Warhol and Candy : Robert Hughes

This interview featuring Andy Warhol and Candy Darling is narrated by Robert Hughes.

David Bailey:Andy Warhol

In the early 1970s, David Bailey, a renowned photographer began to work in film and began making high-profile documentaries for ATV. His reputation allowed him unprecedented access to some amazing people and places one of which was Andy Warhol and his followers. Exploring his art work and work in film, this documentary features candid discussions revolving around sexuality, Warhol’s life at The Factory and his experience of being shot. It was initially banned for being ‘offensive’, that ban was later overturned.




=========

"In bed with Warhol
In 1973 David Bailey got into bed with Andy Warhol. One was making a film about the other, but not the way around you’d expect. The film was due to be screened on TV but was pulled hours before broadcast, declared “offensive and indecent”. Well naturally.

Filmed as part of a triptych of fly-on-the-wall documentaries, the iconic photographer David Bailey interviewed Warhol, the film director Luchino Visconti (The Leopard) and the photographer Cecil Beaton. Bailey met Warhol before he was famous, even had tea with his mother. The bed scenario? “It was sort of a joke. Andy being camp.” Screened at Hamptons International Film Festival on Friday, the documentary reveals more about the artist than most attempts – there’s no secrets between the sheets. Working hard to project his art as nothing much in particular, nothing beyond its surface, and himself in the same way, Warhol is one of the most intriguing, beguiling characters in art history. But here he is in bed, with Bailey.

Last week, i-D Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Terry Jones met Bailey at Frieze and got talking about the documentary. Given the subject matter, Interview-style seemed fitting…

TJ: Look at the camera.
Bailey: I can see this blowing in the wind.
TJ: Have you heard that whole story about your dad sleeping with Andy?
Sacha Bailey: Warhol? Yeah sort of…
Bailey: It was for my art.
TJ: Art. Do people know the whole story?
Bailey: I doubt it. You want me to tell it now? I love the way he [Terry] thinks he’s getting around. It was sinful, Andy said I won’t do a film with you unless you go to bed with me so I said great, we can do the interview in bed together.
TJ: Did you keep your pants on?
Bailey: Oh I don’t remember. He wouldn’t show his scars, his Dior stitches. He always said, “I’m never naked because I look like a Dior dress, too many stitches.”
TJ: But that was the one where you were getting close in conversation with him?
Bailey: I think in all modesty, it’s the film where Warhol speaks the most out of all the films he’s ever done. He never really said anything. I had a bit of an advantage because I knew him ten years before he made the film, I knew him ten years before he got famous. It’s always easier if you know them before.
TJ: Was his mother around?
Bailey: Yeah, I had tea with her.
TJ: Why did he only want to do the interview in bed?
Bailey: It was sort of a joke, Andy being camp.
TJ: How long is the film?
Bailey: A television hour, 52 minutes, might have been an hour then. The film they’ve got left now is not a complete film, it has been cut about and chopped about, it’s still alright, in a way it gives it more of a history when it’s not the original, things have been taken out for censors and put back in the wrong place. It’s a bit of a hodge-podge but I quite like that.
TJ: What did you film it on?
Bailey: 16MM. "

John Lennon, Yoko Ono; Interview

John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono were guests on the Dick Cavett show on 11th September 1971. This was Lennon's first interview after the Beatles had split. The Lennon's discuss their artistic collaboration, with reference to Yoko's work. It contains some footage of their film work and previews the release of Imagine. There's some warm up chit chat at the beginning that may be skipped.

John described Yoko as "the world's most famous unknown artist: everybody knows her name, but nobody knows what she does."

Painters Painting: Documentary

".... the documentary is about American painting from the end of World War II through the 1960s. Specifically it was tied to a Metropolitan Museum of Art show titled “New York Painting and Sculpture: 1940-1970″ and comes with the sub-title “A Candid History of the New York Art Scene, 1940-1970″ and supplemented with a similarly titled book. "

"One thing it is not, however, is a look at painters painting. A better title is “Painters Talking” or even “Filmmaker Filming,” given that de Antonio appears in many interview scenes along with his crew, or sometimes there is at least a microphone extended into the frame. The director, who was a prominent part of the New York art scene (as promoter rather than artist) before becoming a filmmaker at the age of 43, took on this subject in part at the suggestion of his wife at the time, Terry Brook.

It was also, while familiar ground, nothing short of a challenge for de Antonio, who was conflicted about the art. He liked the paintings and their creators were his friends, but as a Marxist social critic he saw them as “essentially manifestations of a very conservative aspect of America … part of a machine which runs this country,” because they’re bought by the wealthy and corporate and the artists then too become wealthy and occasionally even corporate. He was also critical of abstract paintings being too uninvolved, socially and politically. Of the work of his close friend Frank Stella, he would say, “Tell me the politics of a stripe…”*"

Interview

At Future Tense

Carlos Cruz-Diez

The starting point for Cruz-Diez´s chromatic investigations is the unstable nature of colour. His work combines colour theory, science, kinetics, mechanical engineering, and the painter´s craft, and it defies easy categorization.


For more than five decades, Carlos Cruz-Diez (born 1923) has experimented intensively with the origins and optics of colour. His wide-ranging body of work includes unconventional colour structures, light environments, street interventions, architectural integration projects, and experimental works that engage the response of the human eye while insisting on the participatory nature of colour.
http://www.mfah.org/exhibitions/past/carlos-cruz-diez-color-space/


Carlos Cruz-Diez: Colour in Space and Time features more than 150 works created from the 1940s to today, including paintings, silk-screen prints, and innovative chromatic structures; room-size chromatic environments, architectural models, and videos; and a virtual re-creation of the artist´s studio. The exhibition introduces international audiences to Cruz-Diez´s extensive production and places his theoretical and artistic contributions to 20th-century Modernism in a broader context than they have traditionally been seen. This exhibition was organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Cruz-Diez Foundation, Houston. February 6, 2011
- July 4, 2011

Returning Stolen Art

Loot: Stolen Treasurers of the Ancient World

December 3, 2008

Sharon Waxman writer

Sharon Waxman discusses questions of ownership of cultural objects and reads from new her book, Loot: Stolen Treasures of the Ancient World.
Why are the Elgin Marbles in London and not on the Acropolis? If such stunning art objects have admittedly come to Western museums through the heavy hand of 19th century cultural exploitation, do these museums have an ethical responsibility to return them? What if such return harmed these objects because their home country is too poor to maintain, house and protect? What ethical standards should Western museums follow when they obtain art objects from Third World countries? Sharon Waxman addresses these questions and presents her book, Loot: Stolen Treasures of the Ancient World.

Google, Books & Copyright

On September 12 this year, the Authors Guild in the USA, the Australian Society of Authors, the Quebec Union of Writers and a number of individual authors filed suit against a partnership of five American universities and research libraries (the same universities involved in the Google Books case), over what the plaintiffs described as “one of the largest copyright infringements in history”. [1]

According to the Complaint [2]: “The Universities have directly caused millions of works that are protected by copyright holders to be scanned, stored in digital format, repeatedly copied and made available online for various uses. These actions not only violate the exclusive rights of copyright holders…but, by creating at least two databases connected to the Internet that store millions of digital copies of copyrighted books, the Universities risk the widespread, unauthorised and irreparable dissemination of these works.”
