  • Potato TV Sampler (2003)

    Montage of Potato-themed events and performances from Jeffrey Allen Price ca.1996-2003

    Created in 2003, this video predates YouTube and many of the social media platforms that would later become common places for sharing short-form video, and before the Think Potato Institute officially existed, I assembled this “Potato TV Sampler” for the Tom Green Show. (I was asked by the producer to submit a reel for possible guest appearance on the show). The video is a chaotic montage of potato-themed performances, festivals, music, games, and experiments spanning roughly 1996–2003.

    Background music by J.A.P. and the Blues Spuds band covering Neil Young’s “T-bone” (Got mashed potatoes/ain’t got no t-bone). Features segments include:
    “Potato Gun Shot from 5 Feet”, 2003
    “I Like Potato and Potato Likes Me”, 2003
    “Potato Stratego”, 2003
    “POTATOLAB”, 2002
    “Emergency PotatoFete”, 2001
    “Think Potato Festivals II and III, 1998-99”
    and more.

  • The Potato Revolution Exhibition-Mash-Up

    I produced this short video following the opening of The Potato Revolution: Cult of Potato 2011 at the Williamsburg Art & Historical Center (WAH Center) in Brooklyn, New York. The video combines footage from the exhibition with scenes from The Potato Revolution Café, an installation that features over a thousand objects from my growing potato collection.

    The soundtrack features the song “Viva La Potato Revolution,” performed by my band POTATOTRON which seemed like the perfect accompaniment to the project. I like this video because it captures some of the energy and enthusiasm surrounding the exhibition in a way that photographs alone cannot.

    Special thanks to Nimajus Bagdonavicius for his help filming and editing during the opening events.
