i love it when people get crazy-creative. The site illegal-art.org (i'm not linking since I haven't actually been there and can't from where I'm currently at) serves the exhibition called "Illegal Art: Freedom of Expression in the Corporate Age." Apparently, quoted from the NYtimes, "The show's video section includes Brian Boyce's 'State of the Union,' which juxtaposes images borrowed from C-Span and the children's show "Teletubbies" to depict President Bush as an evil sun god destroying bunnies to make way for oil wells." No doubt I've always thought the teletubbies' baby sun-god was wicked, but this is an even better interpretation! I'd love to see the video.
During the Academy Awards in 2001 (yes, I actually watched the whole show), one of the directors (steven soderbergh maybe?) stood up for his award and thanked not so much the people that helped him but everyone who created, every person who took the time to creatively approach their world. what a beautiful comment and reminder that no matter how small we are, we can produce and add to the creativity in the world. Even if it's the crazy concoction of food I make, the photography that i've been playing with so often (by the way, i realize my photos don't come up very easily - i'm not quite sure what to do about it yet), or even the blogging around here. amen to everyone who creates!
