I've added some new content to some of my youtube playlists and created a new one for lectures by designers. My playlist of artists talks compiles over 100 lectures by artists and has a total running time of 115 hours 13 mins 51 seconds.

Here is a youtube playlist which I have compiled of artist's talks. Below is a talk by Ann Hamilton featured in the playlist.
Robert Irwin, at 80, thinks we are only at the half-way point of modernism. He also talks more generally about his work in this video.
I've mentioned Guillermo Kuitca a number of times on this blog before and here are a couple of videos I've come across today. The first is Kuitca's piece Stage Fright which is described on Youtube as "animation for Kuitca's Show at Gallery Met at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York. 2007". The piece relates to the artist's series of "drawings" involving inkjet prints of coloured theatre seating plans being dipped in water of varying temperatures. The second is the first of a three part conversation between Kuitca and the curator Douglas Dreishpoon Albright at Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo NY. The other two parts can be found on this youtube profile.
