Mark Bradford | The Artist's Museum

Mark Bradford is an artist who makes paintings, videos, and large scale public works. His projects emerge from the urban landscape, drawing on his personal history as a third-generation resident of South Central Los Angeles. In this video, Mark discusses the meaning of the term "bad ass", and how his painting of the same name was made.

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.
