00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.750
(tranquil music)

00:00:07.683 --> 00:00:10.443
(traffic noises)

00:00:10.443 --> 00:00:13.026
(gentle music)

00:00:20.670 --> 00:00:24.273
- This is one of the most
radical architectures built.

00:00:26.580 --> 00:00:29.310
Over 70% of this building is a void.

00:00:29.310 --> 00:00:32.730
It's the air, it's the
light, it's the tilt.

00:00:32.730 --> 00:00:33.870
It's all of these things

00:00:33.870 --> 00:00:36.660
that really create an
entirely new inner world

00:00:36.660 --> 00:00:38.430
when you enter this museum.

00:00:38.430 --> 00:00:40.290
You see how people behave differently.

00:00:40.290 --> 00:00:41.730
They move differently.

00:00:41.730 --> 00:00:44.433
Your whole sense of
time and space changes.

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.440
How do you make a piece that
helps me, helps the viewer,

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:52.772
helps the building understand itself anew?

00:00:52.772 --> 00:00:55.522
(tranquil music)

00:01:01.941 --> 00:01:05.571
(scratching sounds)

00:01:05.571 --> 00:01:08.238
(lively music)

00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.063
(lively music)

00:01:23.300 --> 00:01:25.883
(lively music)

00:01:29.709 --> 00:01:32.376
(lively music)

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:36.720
When you come up here,

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:39.990
you start to see this thing
called the River of Images.

00:01:39.990 --> 00:01:43.530
The River of Images
goes around in one loop.

00:01:43.530 --> 00:01:44.880
Moving images seem

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:47.403
like they're just bleeding
into architecture.

00:01:48.450 --> 00:01:49.980
The bay is this image maker.

00:01:49.980 --> 00:01:52.380
It's making images through these shadows,

00:01:52.380 --> 00:01:55.020
the shadows of the sculpture, my shadow,

00:01:55.020 --> 00:01:56.580
and two images moving together.

00:01:56.580 --> 00:01:59.370
So it's like a live film
and this is total chance.

00:01:59.370 --> 00:02:02.640
This will happen once every month.

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:06.600
The reels are in different
speeds, so the moving images,

00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:09.063
they collide at different times,

00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.260
and then as you come around
and you see this sculpture,

00:02:13.260 --> 00:02:14.910
if you go to the top of the sculpture,

00:02:14.910 --> 00:02:19.170
it really draws attention to
this incredible oculus ceiling.

00:02:19.170 --> 00:02:21.840
This is an important idea that
people would go in the bay

00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.910
and look out, 'cause you
never stand where the art is.

00:02:23.910 --> 00:02:24.743
You can imagine,

00:02:24.743 --> 00:02:26.640
what's it like to be a
painting hung in this space?

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:27.783
That's what you see.

00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.426
(pensive music)

00:02:32.678 --> 00:02:37.341
(voices murmuring)
(beeping sounds)

00:02:37.341 --> 00:02:38.820
(clock ticking)

00:02:38.820 --> 00:02:41.378
I use very mundane
materials to really push

00:02:41.378 --> 00:02:42.570
at that question

00:02:42.570 --> 00:02:46.797
of how you imbue value
in inanimate objects.

00:02:46.797 --> 00:02:49.464
(pensive music)

00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.590
People are very careful around the work.

00:02:52.590 --> 00:02:57.003
There's a sense that any
wind could just topple it.

00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.960
That's really the cusp that
I'm interested in meeting

00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.170
where things are right at
the point of coming together

00:03:04.170 --> 00:03:06.060
but really at this fragile point

00:03:06.060 --> 00:03:08.952
where you could imagine them
falling apart at any time.

00:03:08.952 --> 00:03:12.120
(pensive music)

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.640
Looking at it, you can
try and trace a history

00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:15.933
of how it's made.

00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:19.170
It's all there for you.

00:03:19.170 --> 00:03:22.730
You can see the clamps,
you can see the props.

00:03:22.730 --> 00:03:25.397
(pensive music)

00:03:31.511 --> 00:03:34.344
(rustling sounds)

00:03:38.951 --> 00:03:41.701
(tearing sounds)

00:03:49.012 --> 00:03:51.845
(rustling sounds)

00:03:57.468 --> 00:04:02.468
(clanging sounds)
(rustling sounds)

00:04:05.964 --> 00:04:08.910
(tranquil music)

00:04:08.910 --> 00:04:11.130
Every artwork is a timekeeper.

00:04:11.130 --> 00:04:14.700
It's a time capsule of
what it means to be alive.

00:04:14.700 --> 00:04:17.130
To go see an ancient artwork

00:04:17.130 --> 00:04:19.593
and realize this was
touched by human beings,

00:04:20.580 --> 00:04:23.430
this was seen by centuries of people,

00:04:23.430 --> 00:04:25.380
and I am now having a conversation

00:04:25.380 --> 00:04:28.863
with all of those human
beings through an object.

00:04:30.551 --> 00:04:33.301
(tranquil music)

00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:37.110
Anything in this museum is here

00:04:37.110 --> 00:04:38.820
because hundreds of people

00:04:38.820 --> 00:04:40.893
have shepherded that work through.

00:04:42.060 --> 00:04:44.193
The artist is just one piece of that.

00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:48.840
I'm really grateful for
the people I work with.

00:04:48.840 --> 00:04:51.150
When I was young, I look
at my painter friends

00:04:51.150 --> 00:04:53.691
and I would say they
spend the whole day alone.

00:04:53.691 --> 00:04:55.140
(Sarah chuckling)

00:04:55.140 --> 00:04:57.870
Now that I have children, and I teach,

00:04:57.870 --> 00:05:00.750
and I have older parents,
being alone in a room

00:05:00.750 --> 00:05:03.273
with a painting is an incredible pleasure.

00:05:04.203 --> 00:05:06.870
(pensive music)

00:05:11.972 --> 00:05:15.472
(faint background noises)

00:05:22.375 --> 00:05:24.377
(tranquil music)

00:05:24.377 --> 00:05:25.210
For this show,

00:05:25.210 --> 00:05:27.723
I wanted to only have paintings
bigger than your body.

00:05:29.580 --> 00:05:33.363
The paintings became portals
to interior landscapes.

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:38.490
They tell us about how
we see inside our heads,

00:05:38.490 --> 00:05:40.590
how memories are collected,

00:05:40.590 --> 00:05:45.543
how they're lost, how they're
misinterpreted, reinterpreted.

00:05:47.910 --> 00:05:50.850
There's a longing for interior images

00:05:50.850 --> 00:05:52.770
because there's so many exterior images

00:05:52.770 --> 00:05:54.483
that that balance has changed.

00:05:55.620 --> 00:05:57.960
Like in my generation,
if you asked me like,

00:05:57.960 --> 00:05:59.640
what did you look like as a child?

00:05:59.640 --> 00:06:02.100
There's like four pictures
that my parents framed

00:06:02.100 --> 00:06:03.150
and they put on the wall,

00:06:03.150 --> 00:06:05.050
and that's what I think I looked like.

00:06:06.200 --> 00:06:09.060
You know, with my children,
there's, you know, a day,

00:06:09.060 --> 00:06:11.370
there's 70 pictures.

00:06:11.370 --> 00:06:14.210
We have a really different
sense of the image.

00:06:14.210 --> 00:06:16.960
(tranquil music)

00:06:21.540 --> 00:06:25.530
During the pandemic, it was
very hard to measure time.

00:06:25.530 --> 00:06:28.440
For most of us, our
serendipitous interaction

00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:30.573
with people was cut down dramatically.

00:06:31.770 --> 00:06:36.420
Those moments have emotional intensity.

00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:38.160
What you were wearing,
what it smelled like,

00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:39.300
what it sounded like,

00:06:39.300 --> 00:06:41.733
all of those things helped us mark time.

00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.760
Art can show you how time
is marked through emotion

00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:49.240
like no other medium.

00:06:50.220 --> 00:06:52.200
Because that's how we as
human beings measure time.

00:06:52.200 --> 00:06:53.820
I think when I'm on my deathbed,

00:06:53.820 --> 00:06:58.050
I will think emotionally
about the timeline of my life

00:06:58.050 --> 00:07:03.000
and art is a thing that gives
us this way of seeing that.

00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.750
(tranquil music)

00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.189
(tranquil music)

00:07:19.429 --> 00:07:22.179
(tranquil music)

00:07:26.829 --> 00:07:30.246
(tranquil music fading)
