I Can Follow Instructions

« Back to Art



I Can Follow Instructions is a series of videos created after artist instruction works or scores.

The series acts as a video résumé, an affirmation of my ability to complete tasks and "work well with others." Contemplating a culture of getting-things-done, to do lists, and project management these videos are a meditation on everyday work and task execution. Additionaly, the videos set up a subservient relationship to a branch of the art historical timeline that influences my artistic practice.

Instructions by George Brect, Yoko Ono, Mieko Shiomi, Ken Friedman, Emmett Williams, Larry Miller, Robert Watts, and Douglas Gordon.


Chris Barr is an artist & designer living and working in Morgantown, WV.
