  1. I also watched this interview. Here are a few points that stood out to me:

    • “…because I said it’s art somebody believes me.”
    • “Art is about making a choice.”
    • “Teaching is about communication…art is about communication...The art infected my classroom teaching, trying to be inventive there, and in effect, I was saying the art I do is what I’m talking about in the classroom and vice versa. They’re interchangeable.”
    • Baldessari’s artistic process involves utilizing assistants, arriving at his studio every day at the same time, a lifetime commitment, organizes works for exhibition with a model, uses readily accessible materials, he creates a chorale around his idea because “limited movement promotes creativity,” and he revisits ideas.
