A Conversation with John Baldessari, Daniel Birnbaum, and Steven Henry Madoff
Daniel Birnbaum, curator of the 53rd Venice Biennale, and Steven Henry Madoff talk to John Baldessari about his art, life, and pedagogical practice. Baldessari explains the ideas behind his work for the Biennale, as well as his role as a teacher, the LA art scene, Hollywood, and his enduring uncertainty over what constitutes a “part” versus a “whole.” This year Baldessari was awarded the Golden Lion Lifetime Achievment Award at the Bieannale.
