I have been loving the free lectures and discussions posted on the MOMA website - particularly those regarding the exhibition Color Chart: Reinventing Color, 1950 to Today
which was on show March 2–May 12, 2008.
I have been listening to a lot of them while I weave and am about to go through them again to take a few notes. Some of the artists featured are Marcel Duchamp, Andy Wahol, Gerhard Richter, Jennifer Bartlett, Dan Flavin, and Damien Hurst.
Short talks regarding particular pieces of these artists work and more are to be found here http://www.moma.org/visit_moma/audio/2008/spec_exhib/ColorChart/ColorChart_download.html.
Longer and more in depth lectures and discussions can be found here http://www.moma.org/visit_moma/audio/2008/pub_prog/downloadAAPAA_2008.html.
I found these talks particularly motivational and inspiring while sitting doing production weaving.
It would be wonderful if all museums and galleries provided this kind of resource free to the public.
