Door to the Cosmos

George Clinton in conversation with Daniel S. Palmer

During Art Basel Week in Paris, George Clinton and Daniel S. Palmer, Chief Curator at the SCAD Museum of Art, held a conversation that marked the first European presentation of Clinton’s works, and expansive multidisciplinary career.

 

A cultural icon, founder of Parliament-Funkadelic, and key figure in Afrofuturism, Clinton has spent seven decades creating imaginative worlds where funk, community, and cosmic symbolism converge. In his visual practice, he invites viewers to embark on a joyful, zero-gravity journey alongside his Atomic Dogs and his iconic Motherships sculptures, celebrating life as a unifying cosmic force.
