Narrative
0:01:24
On narrative in her own work, Ida Applebroog says: "Everyone has a way of remembering storytelling when they were very young and piecing it together in their own way. And I guess mine started out in terms of the actual sending out of books. Those images told a story without really saying very much." Read the full interview (Art21 on PBS).

Artist Ida Applebroog leads a tour of her personal collection of thrift store and auction finds, in her home and studio in upstate New York.

Ida Applebroog propels her paintings and drawings into the realm of installation by arranging and stacking canvases in space, exploding the frame-by-frame logic of comic-book and film narrative into three-dimensional environments. Strong themes in her work include gender and sexual identity, power struggles, and the pernicious role of mass media in desensitizing the public to violence.

00:00:10 The part I love most about this collection is that I get to recycle all the discards. All these things that are thrown away at auctions and flea markets

00:00:20 and no one wants anymore and the best are the paint by number ones and that one over there. And the rest of them are just things that I have picked up over the years.

00:00:31 This one was in a shop at Monticello and it’s a really old time advertisement I have no idea what it was an advertisement for

00:00:41 but it was just too good not to take. In fact the man just gave it to me because he wanted to throw away. It’s like these are things that nobody really wants to buy.

00:00:57 This piece and there is a matching set on that side by I think Pierre-Auguste Cot, C-O-T. And someone decided to reproduce those and you see what the original looks like and what these look like,

00:01:13 its wonderful set that I have. I would always like to know who the people were that owned it, what the history, what the story, what the narrative is.

00:01:24 And in a way maybe that’s the most beautiful part is that I never know the narrative. I just fill in all the blanks by myself.
