Robbie Conal | The Artist's Museum

Robbie Conal is an artist and activist whose politically charged paintings and posters have been seen around the world. In this video, Robbie describes how his art operates in the gallery and on the streets, and how he gets rid of the "bad karmic residue that builds up after twenty four years of having bad guys in the studio."

The Artist's Museum video series looks at eight significant artists who have produced some of the finest contemporary works in Los Angeles from 1980 to present day. Structured as extended studio visits, these videos capture each artists' creative process and motivations, developing a rich narrative on the vitality of the Los Angeles artist community.

This series was produced in support of the exhibition THE ARTIST'S MUSEUM: A showcase of works by 146 artists who have helped shape the artistic dialogue in Los Angeles in the last 30 years.

On view at MOCA Grand Avenue and The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA OCT 31, 2010--JAN 31, 2011.
