Documenting creativity with video

I actually don’t have much to say about Tim Lemire’s Sofserv paintings. Or at least, I didn’t until I watched this video he put together. I still am not drawn to the work, necessarily, but I find it far more interesting having watched this video. I’d like to see more artists do mini documentary things like this, incorporating video, music, photographs, sounds, etc. to get at the story behind a series or piece of artwork — sort of a This American Life for art.

    You’re right, it’s so much more interesting once you understand even a little behind the work. I did a video just this week of me drawing (in quadruple time! Here: http://vimeo.com/2992127) but next time I might tell a story :D

    Great post. I agree it makes the work all the more interesting.

    I’m currently documenting (video & photos) my process of painting and designing a book cover, which I will edit into a short documentary. I’m posting the photos of my progress on my blog: http://tracystoneart.com/blog.
