Multitask Addict

Let’s Paint TV is what happens when untreated hyperactivity and hyper-creativity collide and form a supernova of high-octane artistry, multitasking and unscripted entertainment. The host of the live Internet TV show, Los Angeles artist and YouTuber John Kilduff, paints, blends drinks, teaches about haircuts, plays the ukulele and takes poorly screened phone calls simultaneously while wearing a suit and running on a treadmill. That sounds insane because it is insane. For one week beginning tonight, that insanity will be taped and webcast live from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Urban Culture Project Space (21 East 12th Street) with the help of some special guests. Kilduff’s plan is to prepare a complete Thanksgiving dinner while walking briskly and talking loudly. Watching the artist exercise, paint and hold forth on the importance of creativity like a hepped-up discount-furniture pitchman is a mental workout in itself. It’s also a ton of very strange fun.
