The Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles

You know who else was born on August 6? Richard Jackson, born August 6, 1939! Jackson makes brilliant, messy art about the brilliant, messy work of making art. For this video, MOCAtv gives us a rare behind-the-scenes look at the ‘activation’ of one of Jackson’s paintings, Painting with two Balls (1997-2013), for the 2013 retrospective, Richard Jackson: Ain’t Painting a Pain at the Orange County Museum of Art.
