Interview With Gary Lloyd

In the 1970s & ’80s, Gary Lloyd’s “surveillance sculpture” was unlike anything others in the burgeoning Downtown L.A. art community were doing. His coin-clad installations not only raised questions about art’s value, but also about how a person’s worth is measured. The pieces — each equipped with a radio transmitter — listened in on those around them, and broadcast conversations and events over pirate airwaves to passersby. Lloyd lived and worked in what is now known as the Arts District for more than three decades before relocating to Redondo Beach. “I couldn’t afford it anymore,” he says, citing gentrification as the inevitable result of artists revitalizing an urban wasteland. Lloyd was interviewed at the American Hotel in February 2014 for “Tales of the American,” a documentary feature about the Downtown L.A. Arts District, Al’s Bar and the American Hotel. He has since moved to Taos, New Mexico. Filmmakers Pamela Wilson and Stephen Seemayer interviewed more than a hundred artists, musicians, writers and others who lived, worked and partied in and around the American Hotel. They are periodically releasing (in alphabetical order) edited versions of these interviews on this channel. To watch "Tales of the American" on Amazon Prime, go to https://amzn.to/2MyARcA.
