Waters discusses this powerful, emotional, threatening, and phallic work with Ann Temkin, The Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture. He is, quite simply, our chosen Pope.”įind the complete radio program hosted by art critic and broadcaster Alastair Sooke on BBC Sounds or wherever you get your podcasts. As Rajendra Roy, The Celeste Bartos Chief Curator of Film at MoMA puts it, “John is the rarest of birds monumentally smart and unimpeachably irreverent. And art plays a big role in his life: Waters is also a writer, actor, comedian, photographer, and collector. Both Hairspray (1988) and Pink Flamingos (1972) have become cult classics. The results are often outrageous, self-consciously transgressive, and oozing with camp. As a filmmaker, Waters takes on taboo subjects and builds worlds in which there is no normal. In this episode of our new radio series collaboration with BBC, The Way I See It, John Waters looks at a painting by one of his favorite artists: Lee Lozano’s Untitled (1963)-an eight-foot painting of a hammer. She looked at every tool sexually, and with anger, and politically, and artistically-every possible way you can look at a hammer.
