Description
“Ultimate freedom would mean having just enough money not to have to
think about money, and not to have to work all the time.”
—Artist Seth Price, F*ck Seth Price
*Language warning for this week's episode if you have kiddos around! Per
the book title above :)*
I am so excited about this week's guest that I was at peak awkwardness
during the interview, so please forgive a few choppy edits here and there!
I normally don't edit "in line" for the Pivot pod to keep things as natural
(and perfectly imperfect!) as possible, but in this case I cleaned up the
recording for clarity and concision so that you could get the very best of
Seth Price's brilliant mind and philosophy as a renowned multi-disciplinary
visual artist.
Seth's novel, F*ck Seth Price, is one of my most gifted and recommended for
fellow creatives. His commentary on the relationship between art, freedom
and commerce is sharp, truthful and deeply thought-provoking. As my dad
wrote in his Amazon review, "This is the finest, funniest, most incisive
book dealing with art and culture that I have read in the past forty years
. . . a sort of 'Book of Common Prayer' for all artists entering New York
City. Don’t get off the bus, plane, train without it."
With that, I turn the tables over to our interview for you to get a unique
peek into Seth Price's approach to experimenting, persona-dropping,
art-making, freedom pursuing, and building on "bad" ideas!
think about money, and not to have to work all the time.”
