Dear Friends, I’ve been scribbling in the dark again, this time at the Queens Museum during a performance by the artist Aki Sasamoto. I was sitting on the floor next to Jeff — Jeff and I have been adventuring see Aki’s work together for years. This week: two views of Aki Sasamoto’s
This was fascinating, and I enjoyed both videos very much. I loved the part in the interview where she suddenly realised that it sounded like she was an alcoholic! The performance you both described so well gave rise to lots of great phrases such as 'What she is saying seems at once meaningful and absurd'. I do value these direct responses to artwork or artists I would not otherwise have access to. Thanks!
Sublimely written… I feel like I was right there with you both. And for a second when I first looked at this piece, I thought the shells were croissants, ha ha ha. Clearly, I am ready for breakfast. Also, please give Roshi Enkyo my warmest regards.
