Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.14,0:00:29.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is a retrospective of sorts,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.18,0:00:32.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so obviously I'm honored with the invitation to do it.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.75,0:00:36.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it's... I'm really uncomfortable in the situation.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.20,0:00:46.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not one person needs this much concrete and space.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.68,0:01:04.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was aware that they were going to find some old work that I wasn't happy with.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.44,0:01:10.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's, like, areas that I don't even want to visit anymore in my life.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.42,0:01:12.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it's... I know it had to be here,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.84,0:01:18.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I just let other people hang it, and it looked okay.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.95,0:01:28.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot of the vitrines are some of my friends'--
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.28,0:01:30.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the artwork that I like.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.16,0:01:33.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If I could curate a good show, it would always have all of my friends
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.27,0:01:37.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and my favorite artists would be in here, also.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.41,0:01:43.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Oh. Yeah, these all have my favorite things in them.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.34,0:01:46.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a guy in Bolinas, this guy Chad.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.28,0:01:50.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He passed away, but he used to do these paintings on wood
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.84,0:01:53.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of his favorite things. His favorite thing was Budweiser.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.80,0:01:56.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He painted what he loved, [LAUGHS]
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.85,0:01:58.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he signed it 'Chad'.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.14,0:02:02.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My wife Clare made that.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.01,0:02:06.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,She made these three little canvases.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.21,0:02:09.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,She was really proud when she brought her classes up here,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.88,0:02:12.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,she was like, "I have paintings in here too, guys, okay?"
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.52,0:02:13.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"I have paintings in here."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.18,0:02:16.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is my ideal way to hang the artwork, too,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.68,0:02:22.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just with like what I would call a more serious attempt at art,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.21,0:02:26.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then just something that a friend made on a Xerox machine right next to it--
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.55,0:02:28.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's just as serious to me.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.14,0:02:30.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These are boards.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.32,0:02:31.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These are from thrift stores.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.62,0:02:35.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't know what they are, but I keep on coming across them.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.76,0:02:37.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I made these.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.64,0:02:41.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These are ballpoint pen drawings, also.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.75,0:02:45.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I just took a cue from what my father was doing.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.05,0:02:51.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My dad, he passed away three years ago;
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.81,0:02:53.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But he always drew on napkins.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.01,0:02:55.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah, there's like thousands of these,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.61,0:02:59.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he would iron them with wax paper
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.07,0:03:04.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he would always sign them, obviously: 'John C. McGee'.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.18,0:03:08.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I tried to bring as many people as I could in here
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.29,0:03:11.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that deserve attention.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.13,0:03:16.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's so many more interesting things going on, I feel like.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.98,0:03:20.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To me, it would be better as a massive group show--
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.51,0:03:24.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like, three hundred different people.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.95,0:03:29.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some kids in San Francisco did these.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.14,0:03:31.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're like in their early 20s.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.24,0:03:35.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was just kind of curious what they're...
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.94,0:03:38.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like a twenty year-old kid that's into graffiti,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.28,0:03:40.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what they're into.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.61,0:03:44.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think the generation is so far away from me now,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.88,0:03:46.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't even know what they're doing anymore.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.21,0:03:49.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think it's so natural for them to be here, though.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.11,0:03:53.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It'd be doing a big disservice for the Bay Area if this stuff wasn't here.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.24,0:04:01.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is where my work is going in the future--something like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.57,0:04:03.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm very happy with that piece.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.26,0:04:05.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Am I talking too much about my artwork now?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.92,0:04:07.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I feel like I'm talking too much my artwork.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.53,0:04:09.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[MAN OFF CAMERA] No, this is exactly what you're supposed to be doing.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.27,0:04:09.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[MCGEE] Really?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.85,0:04:10.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[MAN OFF CAMERA] Yeah.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.80,0:04:13.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[MCGEE] I'm completely happy with this part.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.73,0:04:16.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was the hardest part to do for some reason.
