  • The fourth episode of Gagosian Premieres celebrates Ed Ruscha’s exhibition at Gagosian New York with musicians Flea, Missy Mazzoli, Vernon Reid, and Eddie Ruscha and new music created in response to the work.
    Since the 1960s, Ruscha has created a distinctive and ever-expanding lexicon of symbols, images, and words drawn from American vernacular culture. In his new paintings, rendered with great delicacy and detail in eccentric formats, he revisits the leitmotifs of the flag, the tire, and the mountain. The banner in "RIPPLING FLAG" (2020) unfurls past the frame in a form that creates twisted shapes and shadows over its red and white stripes. "Hardscrabble" (2020) depicts a “gator,” or shredded tire tread, hovering enigmatically over a barren landscape. And in "Mountains" (2020) archetypal snowy ranges are meticulously rendered but with one peak inverted so that it appears to descend from the sky.
    In this episode of Gagosian Premieres, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea meets with Ruscha’s son Eddie in the artist’s Los Angeles studio to discuss this new body of work, exploring its emotional resonance and the power of its familiar symbolism to affect viewers in vastly different ways at different points in time. Tim Griffin, director of the Kitchen, describes the challenges faced by avant-garde artists and creative institutions under the current global health crisis, and introduces two musical performances staged within the space of the New York exhibition. Composer and pianist Missy Mazzoli plays “The Night Ahead and No Real Fate”-a composition she wrote for piano four hands and, poignantly, adapted here for a solo performer in light of current social distancing. Living Colour guitarist and songwriter Vernon Reid performs the blues standard “Trouble in Mind” and “Entanglement One,” a loop-based improvisation responding to Ruscha’s paintings during a shared moment of crisis and hope.

    The thing about art is that it makes you be entirely vulnerable as a human and show yourself through experiences that have made you. I love how Ruscha made his work on his America. This makes him a essential artist looking back on the country. I feel that art isn’t used enough as a tool. If politician could look at Ruscha's art through their own experience, they might just be a good politician

    This was awesome 😎! I recently finished reading Flea’s autobiography - which I LOVED, so it’s a super treat to see him in the video discussing Ed Ruscha’s work. Can I just take a moment to say the both Flea and Eddie have outstanding outfits on that really jive with my sense of fashion 🌟🌈 and those patterns 😍. The studio visit is interesting and a nice peak into Ed’s space/process. But I really love how honest, unabashed, and on the mark Flea is with his interpretation of the paintings. Painting as an act of patriotism... Kudos! Make more 👏🏼👏🏼

    I likewise indeed carefully & uniquely videoed most all of Larry Gagosian's key art historic openings for a full decade + from 1993 on, on my own dime, first in SoHo & then Chelsea. I still have all the videos & would think that they would make a great addition to tbe Gagasian Archive & Legacy as a way of seeing what it was really like in visceral terms. Includes many small interviews besides the art & quite lively stuff with the art lovers attending them. I am open to exploring this with the Gagosian team, to achieve something really spectacular. I've won many awards for my films & once had a evening at MoMA in their largest Titus Theater.

    This is filmed during Coronavirus ?? So inspiring but .... Why does Flea not feel the need to wear a mask ?? as an example of not thinking of the welfare of others in the room. ( no wonder the end is not in sight yet )

    i love flea's music (ive been listening to him since he was in FEAR... all the way to Helen Burns) but flea speaks best with his bass. kudos to missy mazzoli and vernon reid for their music. sorry gagosian. painting american flags was a terrible idea when jasper johns did it in the 50s. time has not improved it.
