Went to see him speak. I think we were supposed to meet in the morning, but I never saw him- which is good, since I had a doctor's appointment around the same time.
However, I watched a bit of his video. I had seen it when it was all being installed and things, had noticed his camera work which i was envious of: because he was accepted. He was in a gallery. I have made movies that enjoy those angles of humans too, but I haven't got any critical acclaim for it...which is fine. It makes me feel like there are people who I can be friends with though, to see his films.
Because thematically, these are things I think about. I don't make art about them as much, I haven't quite been able to get to that point where I could make something that talked about the nearness of things like homelessness to my heart... And that clothesline piece too, really great stuff. And the "It's Okay United" video.
He said we have a responsibility as artists to bring these subjects up.
While not being political.
hmm...
overall though, i was struck dumb. for a while afterwards i just sat and stared, and then went to help make dinner, but sat and stared some more.
