In Conversation: Harmony Korine and Catherine Taft
Ойын-сауық
In celebration of the opening weekend of ‘Harmony Korine. AGGRESSIVE DR1FTER,’ the artist’s debut solo exhibition with Hauser & Wirth, please join us for a conversation between artist and filmmaker Harmony Korine and LAXART Deputy Director and Curator, Catherine Taft.
‘Harmony Korine. AGGRESSIVE DR1FTER’ will present a new series of acid-hued paintings drawn from the artist’s forthcoming film ‘Aggro Dr1ft’ to be released in fall 2023. This unprecedented fusion of Korine’s painting and filmic practices expands the irreverent polymath’s exploration of the aesthetics of gaming.

I was there! Harmony was really cool, let me take shots of him for my photography course, and we talked about his films. He signed my forearm in sharpie and some woman at the bar gave me 100 dollars to get it tattooed. A memory forever engraved...

Ugh. Things have gotten so lame around here
He really leans into his perspective on the performance of these artist talks. And there's some Kaufman vibes to his catalog of interviews. He kind of thrives in this environment where he's covertly mocking the landscape he's in while also creatively adding his own voice into it. The art speaks for him way better than he ever could and he doesn't pretend like it's not the case. Respect to harmony and his catalog

Kids, had a plot,; the movie that made him famous, that is why he does not like "plots".
Love how he describes plots and plotting (as a negitive)..so obvious but never thought of it like that.

you can still see some of that shy kid inside him that was introduced to us on letterman so many years ago
I love that Paul McCarthy is in this AND HES WEARING A MELVINS T-SHIRT!
Single-handedly owns all trolls and haters by saying any/every reaction is a perfect one.
Paul and Harmony together is quite the spectacle.
Love the patronizing questions on the topic of Florida
what an articulate and composed gentleman
I was there that day I met him and got him to sign my Gummo dvd. great day.

holy shit that’s hella lucky
I totally feel him on looping a 20 second clip for hours. I've been doing that since the late 90s, when I got a computer that made it possible.
Florida’s premier faith-based artist 😂😂😂
3:45 what he says onward here is massively fucking relatable
I've always enjoyed the anti-interview vibes Harmony brings to these stale NPR tote-bag smelling events; definitely not afraid to scare the white women. Imagine if H.K. and Tom Sachs collaborated on a something...
Never could have said so many things I feel about life and art so calmly and eloquently. Thank you for this interview. Regardless of whether or not what Harmony is really saying, and what I hear him saying 😂 are the same...🤷♂️ i don't know. I feel like He was just in and out of my brain experiencing the horrors and potential beauty in human experiences overall. Like someone who is often afraid of many things, or experienced 1 or more traumatic events may call what I call an intense experience that gave me a lot of information, "a bad trip". And that's unfortunate, but also interesting enough to be entertaining to analyze with our human experience to keep us engaged.. these kind of things. The weird trance music he's discussing I feel is something Genesis P-Orrige did; trying to put the audience in a literal trance or altered state, to destroy minds, blast off. Not for me necessarily, but it's a happening that's relevant. Loved it❤️🔥 It tapers off the last half😅 but I appreciate you!

I truly hope that this art world liberal woman employed by Hauser LA, which is Less than a half mile from SKID Row, having the audacity to call Florida a “hellscape” is lost on no one

She probably could give two shits because she's paid and her LA is safe, sanitized and free from any of the grime. You'd think that'd dawn on her since she's interviewing Korine who thrives in that zone.

both can be simultaneously true which seems to be lost on people who use the term liberal as an insult. maybe if people stopped choosing sides then people wouldn’t get butt hurt over things they don’t agree with
Harmony talking about Michael Mann and Miami Vice is so accurate for Gen X He is obviously such a product of our formidable years I don’t think Korine puts on a show Yes he’s entertaining to watch But it’s not fo show
When people tell you who they are, believe them. 1:25
33:50 LMAO got her. 😂
Like number 222 here. I think Korine is for real; like a highly sensitive person. I feel I have a lot in common with him, but I plot a lot, so he wouldn't like me 😂

I worked with Catherine for a short while at the GRI and she was delightful.
Harmony is like a cinematic drug addict looking for the next high. Or the highest high. He has lost interest in the mundane form of cinema. He wants extreme, he wants chaos, he wants intuition and feeling, he wants abstract.
I was there I was so fucking hung over and I cut the whole line and I smelt really bad
snobbery
Thermal imaging cameras have been available for civilian use since the 1970s. And now someone wants to tell me that this is the ultimate in modern art? Even the money is worth less than it was 50 years ago. Inflation is everywhere. Art knows no exceptions.

Well it’s the concept behind it.. cameras were invented a 100 years ago yet they are still being used.
