I first found out about 3 Minute Egg a couple years ago when I was wandering around at Art-A-Whirl in NE Minneapolis. I kept seeing the same guy interviewing and filming different artists over the weekend. I overhead him talking about this video blog that he had created called 3 Minute Egg. Here's a little bit more from Matt Peiken, the creator of 3 Minute Egg:
"3-Minute Egg is 'The Twin Cities arts seen' — the nation’s first daily video blog devoted to a local arts community. 3-Minute Egg opens windows onto artists and arts happenings across a spectrum of disciplines—dance and theater, film and visual art, performance art, public art, rock, jazz and hip-hop, comedy, literature, spoken word, slam poetry, and the classical arts....Every week, 3-Minute Egg produces and posts short documentary videos about Twin Cities artists and arts happenings. New videos go online every Monday through Thursday....Each 3-Minute Egg mixes interviews with footage of the artwork into three to four minutes of high-definition video."
It's now broadcast on TPT here in the Twin Cities, available on iTunes, Facebook, Youtube, the Star Tribune's website, and elsewhere. Check out the About section on the 3 Minute Egg website for more information.
Here's a segment about Foot in the Door 4 that took place earlier this year (I had a painting in that show which was pretty exciting). A couple of my friends are interviewed in this video as well (it's the guys with the white boxes that say "yes," "no," etc).
