He was part of a recent 4 artist show at a gallery here, and had a pretty extensive installation throughout the gallery. I remember thinking to myself that this is like a noize board thread manifest as a full fledged art project.
Aside from that, I guess I was just thoroughly nonplussed by it all. A bit too much to cognitively handle (but I guess that's part of the point?)

haha when i first saw his stuff i was like "this is SO noize board"
saw some of the new stuff in LA recently - he still unnerves and excites me like few other active artists do

this is kinda tl;dr but still interesting: his blueprints for his W magazine spread, using some of his frequent collaborators as models

A friend played me the youtube excerpts of I-Be Area a month ago, then I finally got to watch the entire film all the way through last night -- I was sort of expecting those to be the highlights but watching the bits in sequence only brought out the themes of raising adopted children as a form of rebellion against your already-incredibly-strange-parents -- it's barely random, this is all going to make 100% total sense

i love the detail in the W spread about eyeshadow influenced by the colors in financial charts

So Peter Schjeldahl just said he was the "most consequential artist since the 1980s"

IDK if that's reasonable or not, but my wife has been a ridiculous stan of his for a while.

i liked that schjeldahl piece! its nice when he begrudgingly credits artists active after ~1975
― ☂ (max), Wednesday, 29 June 2011 03:14 (twelve years ago) link
he seems to answer my question of "is it worth going to see these videos at the whitney instead of just watching them on youtube" with a resounding "no"
I get more out of them watching them at home, but I'll still probably go see the PS1 show.

yeah course, someone to go with pending. saw an ica showing of his work the other week, was cool but they def didn't choose his best (affe, cj, k-corea inc) - 'tommy-chat just emailed me' was the highlight & I hadn't seen it before, made it all worthwhile
― Ƹ༑Ʒ (imago), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 16:42 (nine years ago) link
What exhibition we talking about?
I most recently saw a video of his up at Bard in their curatorial center, was pretty good, involved some kind of party bus full of women -- not a huge departure from the I Be Area stuff but good. We still quote the older videos, esp saying that someone "has an amazing area, and deserves fans"

about a half a year ago some idiot thought it would be a good idea to show four of his works back to back in a theater and it was one of the most physically excruciating things I've seen
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 20:37 (nine years ago) link
it was more disorienting than any noise show that I've had to walk out of, although the film it started with, junior war, was actually surprisingly amazing because it truly captured a certain kind of horrible white drunken midwestern teen existence, like an episode of jackass with a trecartin filter on it
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 20:41 (nine years ago) link
yeah the 4 back to back is what I did. not excruciating but could have been better chosen yeah
