Matthew Day Jackson, Everything Leads to Another

Host Victoria Brooks sits down with artist Matthew Day Jackson to talk about his new pop/rap music video, Everything Leads to Another, that functions as a point of departure for his exhibition of the same title. The music video was done in collaboration with Tim Bright, and the two make up the band Manhigh; they're currently working on a second song and music video, Radio. In this interview, Jackson explains his connective theory on art and the world, and how that led to the creation of this song and exhibit. Everything Leads to Another is featured at Hauser & Wirth in London until July 30, 2011. Keep listening to hear the song that started it all!
