listen with RealPlayer
Laurie Anderson is well known as a solo performer and visual artist whose work involves music, storytelling, film, installation and sculpture - separate forms of creative endeavor that she has made one with the inventive use of advanced technologies. This lucid conversation with the iconoclastic critic and theorist Greil Marcus, was recorded September 23, 2004 in New York.
Anderson has created large-scale theatrical works that include "Home of the Brave," "United States," and "Moby Dick". She has also released seven recordings for Warner Brothers beginning with Big Science, and two for Nonesuch Records, the most recent of which is Live at Town Hall, New York, from September, 2001. Over the last year, she has been the first artist-in-residence at NASA, the U.S. space agency.
Marcus has been a columnist for Rolling Stone, Artforum, Salon, and The New York Times. Best known as a pop music critic, he is also the author of Mystery Train: Images of America in Rock n Roll Music(1975), Lipstick Traces (1989), Double Trouble (2000) and, most recently, Once Upon a Time: Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone". This conversation began a series of "Music and Media" talks presented by the Film and Video Department at MoMA. Barbara London, associate curator, introduces the evening, which includes the presentation of Anderson's video work; listeners can follow it through the sound track.

Chris Burden (2005)

First broadcast November 21, 2005
Artist Chris
Burden needs no introduction. He has shot himself in the arm, nailed himself to the hood of a car, and rolled around in glass. His exploits-as-art earned him a reputation of one of the most controversial performance artists of the 70s. Burden's more recent work, however, has abandoned self-mutilation for more traditional materials: drawings, photographs, and sculptures that evoke the connections between the military, money, power, and technology. Recorded Oct. 28, 2005 at MoMA as part of the museums's Conversations with Artists series.

The evening took place September 30, 2004 at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York, produced by the Museum of Modern Art's Department of Film and Media , and introduced by associate curator Barbara London. Michel Gondry's use of bold imagery, animation and unconventional editing techniques has revitalized the world of music videos. After making videos for his own Parisian band, Oui Oui, he went on to direct several for Björk, beginning with "Human Behavior." Since then he has also created videos for Radiohead, the Foo Fighters, Cibo Matto, the White Stripes and Beck. His two feature films are "Human Nature" (2001) and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004) starring Jim Carey and Kate Winslet.
