Spanning childhood influences, pop culture, typography, photography, books, architecture, abstraction, and the everyday landscape of Los Angeles, this talk offers rare insight into how Ruscha thinks, works, and reflects on his own practice. Rather than a linear biography, the conversation unfolds through images, anecdotes, and associations. Baseball players, sign painters, cartoonists, Gertrude Stein, Jasper Johns, Jasper Johns’ flag, Gordon Matta-Clark, Noah Purifoy, JG Ballard, Hollywood, gas stations, museums, money, books, language, and failure all pass through Ruscha’s lens with clarity and deadpan humour. This is not a motivational talk. It’s not a how-to. It’s an artist thinking out loud about why images matter, how influence works, and why art comes from other art. Slow. Observant. Dry. Precise. Topics explored in this conversation – Ed Ruscha’s early influences – Art and American culture – Sign painting, typography, and language – Heroes, mentors, and outsiders – Jasper Johns and preconceived art – Abstract expressionism and its limits – Los Angeles as subject and system – Photography, books, and documentation – Architecture, highways, gas stations – Museums, authority, and critique – Pop art, humour, and seriousness – Making work slowly over decades – Art as observation rather than explanation Why this matters This conversation captures something rare: an artist who resists mythology, refuses over-explanation, and treats art as something made through attention rather than spectacle. Ruscha speaks plainly about influence, failure, boredom, repetition, and the quiet accumulation of work over time. It’s a reminder that creative practice isn’t about inspiration. It’s about staying present long enough for something to happen.
