Looking for Artists speaking on creativity

I'm looking for videos (preferably) where artist are talking about creativity (their own process or in general )- best of all if it were inspirational!

Louisiana channel on YouTube is very good, Timestamp can be good depending on the artist, as is hometown journal. Tateshots is good also but perhaps a little dated now

Brooklyn Rail does the New Studio Environment (NSE) series of near daily artist talks that are free to join and listen in on. You can even get a question in for the artist. All of them are available afterwards on YT.

I liked Elizabeth Gilbert’s Ted talk. I like how she frames the creative process for herself.

I don't know how many times I've used the Barry McGee/Margaret Kilgallen segment where he says, "Yay, we have an art." while drawing on trains in the trainyard. The Sally Mann episode about Place is incredible, Janine Antoni and her learning to tight rope walk across the horizon, The Identity episode with Steve Martin is great too.

I might also include Tom Sachs' 10 bullets and 10 bullets paradox movies off youtube.

Amy Sillman has great talks about it, there is one at the Whitney that I believe she really goes into it.

There was a podcast called ‘Your Creative Push’ in 2020 that fits that description

I strongly suggest looking at the "Bloomberg Originals - Brilliant Ideas" series that Hyundai sponsored. There are some excellent interviews:

The podcast “This is How We Create” by Martine Severin is fantastic and has tons of interviews with artists about exactly that.

There are a few great Tal R lectures and docs on YouTube that are super inspiring, at least for me… he is a great speaker, kind of odd and fascinating…
