Larry Krone answers questions about his multimedia performances at Youth Insights' Artists + Youth: A Dialogue, held at the Whitney Museum at Phillips Morris.

Our last Artist + Youth: a Dialogue was held with Larry Krone on May 10, 2002 at the Whitney Museum at Phillip Morris. Krone's artwork is displayed at the Whitney Museum at Phillip Morris.

Krone combines his country music performances with fabric art of found objects. Krone makes all his costumes from found material, and his sister is a big help to him. The ukulele is also a big component of his performances. Krone's videos are different from the usual music videos we see on television, combining a mix of country music and lyrics he wrote himself and fabulous costumes.

RESPONSES/OPINIONS OF TWO YOUTH INSIGHTS PARTICIPANTS

Kiran: "Larry Krone creates a lot of his work from inspiration from children's crafts, which to me, was very cool because I could relate to it. I used to make things very similar to some of the ideas he plays with when I was younger. Also, I love how costume is such a big part of his work, as an aspiring fashion designer, it was cool to see fashion in some form have a place in the Whitney and in the fine art world. It also doesn't hurt that he loves sparkles as much as I do…"

Namrata: "Larry Krone is not only an artist but also a performer. His work offers an artistic variety that allowed the dialogue to go into different directions. He gave a clear background and valuable keypoints on each one of his works."
