[ROBIN RHODE]
I used to create these performances

00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:10.000
for myself and for the camera

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.380
where I would just draw an object on the wall
and interact with it.

00:00:15.620 --> 00:00:18.120
One of the first objects I drew was the bicycle.

00:00:19.380 --> 00:00:21.000
And then it became the television.

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:22.360
And then it became a chair.

00:00:22.740 --> 00:00:25.680
And it just began to extend itself
further and further.

00:00:27.620 --> 00:00:30.000
We use humor as a mode of survival.

00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:35.860
And we use play as a means to destabilize
various dominant structures.

00:00:37.220 --> 00:00:40.880
--Standby, wall touch up, green. Here.

00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.240
In Johannesburg, there is no art education
whatsoever.

00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:45.820
--Standby, shot one!

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:47.340
--And go!

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:48.640
--Ah, beautiful Kevin!

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.240
So, how do we engage with minimalism?

00:00:51.620 --> 00:00:52.660
--Thank you very much.

00:00:52.660 --> 00:00:53.860
Minimalism,

00:00:54.420 --> 00:00:58.250
I would reference and rework in a kind of
humor-orientated way.

00:00:58.250 --> 00:00:59.330
--Feet up higher.

00:00:59.330 --> 00:01:00.200
--Higher.

00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:01.560
--Yes! Two shots!

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:03.600
--Standby, bike.

00:01:03.620 --> 00:01:04.460
--Standby, bike.
