You should go to the talk!
ReplyDeleteOh Superman was a fav of mine for years
ReplyDeleteWent to Laurie Anderson's talk/discussion last evening....very interesting. When she was asked what she saw as beauty she answered for her it was empathy & she likes this to come through her work too. To get outside of me, me, me!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to Homeland tonight, really looking forward to it. She said that this show was sparked by anger for her. Artists in the US are not speaking out about what's happening in the States & that makes her very angry. Although her work has never been greatly political she feels she can not remain silent now
Homeland was awesome wasn't it? During some of the violin parts I found myself in that place where I forget the music is there because I'm inside the music. And then there would be a moment of wry political comment and the whole room would burst into laughter. Beautiful. I love her surrealist moments too.
