More Boring Art

Gerald Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh were right about work:

“I say whip it
Whip it good.”

More Boring Art

There’s no one like John Baldessari, especially me.

TYPE

I just typed a film. And I just gave away the plot as well as the happy ending.

POURING MAN 2014

Tens of thousands of other idiots paid thousands of dollars to wallow in a dust storm in the Nevada desert at the Burning Boring Man farce. Those of us at the inaugural Pouring Man celebration missed the self-segregating hipsters not one whit.

PRIME (113 PRIME NUMBERS)

One can’t go wrong with large prime numbers, so I didn’t.

SERVER (66.66')

At 66.66 minutes, Server is longer than all of my other films combined. At the risk of giving myself a severe rotator cuff injury, it’s also my most irritating and annoying. With its grating soundtrack of amplified, screeching hard drives, no one will ever watch the whole thing, or at least I certainly won’t.

ROLLER

Steam (roller) triumphs over electronics. Of course.

PIPES

Most horror films involve bagpipes, a cat and a kitten that are not alive, and a beautiful woman who is. At least this one does.

BUOY

I was in Taiji, Japan, in 2011, and I made another of my four-letter films. I don’t know if it was being in the land of the rising sun or all of the dolphin blood I photographed, but somehow the color red made it past my chromophobe filters. It will be an easy mistake to fix, if I ever do.

Watch With Closed Eyes

As the title dictates, this is a film to be watched with closed eyes. I doubt anyone ever will, and that would be the point, except that, as is the case with every other one of my films, it’s pointless.

Unburn

This is more a sketch than a movie, my first experiment with an old gimmick I plan on overusing in future work.

GALLO in 4'33"

This is my first film featuring an actor, Gallo (pronounced GUY-yoh). He was the embodiment of stupidity and arrogance, and literally stabbed me in the back before the final take. It was worth it, however, to make my most boring film ever.

HONEY

... has a beginning, a middle, an end, a thunderous soundtrack—almost gave away the plot!—and even a splash of color.

CHARGERS

... features two Nikon batteries charging. It’s boring—of course—but I like the soundtrack I composed and recorded.

Eleven Four-Letter Films

My first eleven films are all thirty-seconds long. Despite the brevity, I nevertheless managed to convey the tedium I've explored in other media.

I started making films in 2008 and soon discovered how much time it takes to make one; that’s why there’s not much here.
