Peter Doig Lecture at the Art Institute of Chicago

Peter Doig, Guest House 3, 2002. Part of the Prints and Drawings collection at AIC.

On May 3rd I saw Peter Doig deliver an outline of his artwork's development at the Art Institute of Chicago. I enjoyed it, so I am posting a recording of it. Besides streaming it above, you may download it here.

I found his demeanor agreeably low-key and his commentary thoughtful. I had been awake for 48 hours by the time his lecture in the darkened auditorium began - perhaps my memories of it aren't quite trustworthy. This is why I record things.

After the jump is a collection of flyers Doig has painted for StudioFilmClub, a weekly film series he hosts at his studio in Trinidad. The flyers are collected in the book Peter Doig: StudioFilmClub. I like them.

Lynda Barry at SAIC

Lynda Barry

Lynda Barry, of Ernie Pook's Comeek and One! Hundred! Demons!, graced the stage of SAIC's Columbus building in Chicago, Illinois, on November 15th. She spoke and joked about her working process, her desire to reclaim art-making for everyone and her new book, Picture This. It was the one artist lecture I've attended that could properly be described as 'rollicking.'
