Deeper Dives: Anton Newcombe on What Art Is

Watch Anton Newcombe's full Rehearsal Space interview here: http://weallmakemusic.com/rehearsal-space-anton-newcombe/

When we interviewed Anton in 2008 for the video series Rehearsal Space, there was loads of great footage that didn't make it into the final cut.

Here is one of our favorite never-seen-before moments, in which the inimitable Anton Newcombe, tackles the big question of what art is while fiddling maniacally with a wattle bottle (off camera).

He doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

Anton on Art or Art on Anton?

@curzmg Dude, when he's not fucked up, he's pretty articulate and whatnot.

[curzmg]

@spicyMcHAGGIS9green  lol perhaps that is the explanation, pretty simple when you put it like that!

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@curzmg Is it not obvious that he's drunk? People say stupid shit when they're drunk.

looks like george michael on heroin

"Scientific statistic methods".....I interperted that as "snorting coke off a dying moose". I suppose I crap art according to his standards.

Wht a train wreck of a human being

[VictorC53]

is it just me or does he have an accent now?

[allabouteatvideo]

it's odd that he would find fault with critics, when he is almost universally loved by critics, whereas let's say a band like Maroon 5 is almost universally despised ...
