City Arts; 307

Oh. If one had to think of other parties that actually simmers closest to I would talk about the magic realist. That's really her world. She just didn't and. Donna is a spirit of your reference and freedom. Confrontation and provocation. The mischievous childish element that we all want to have gotten as big a slap in the face of high art data gave us all permission a lack of respect making mischief. When I ran by or it was a first rate live record and I also had great humor in his writing which is what George had in his music.

I'm limited by my count of the marriage thing.

The world was. Can people especially those who have not seen her work before are often caught by surprise. There's such exuberance in the theatricality of Julie's work it can take

a little while to realise how basically dark profession was. Her. Was. No label. Choose a label West. She's an experimental director and she's a conceptualist in the modern American society. But that's somehow very limited. She's a caterer. She's a director who doesn't limit herself tractors as they occur. Nice trick with the elbow joint that. You could. Twist it like. That's clearly that the. Right hand up. This one. When you think goes up like yes exactly. And no you can head to the other side of the field. Yeah I found out he was conceived as a show where puppetry would be the main vehicle

for expressing the visual imagery. That's good partly because it's a show about what it means to be human. You know. Please please please. So. That's nice. One is represented by four different versions. Starts out as a little jaguar puppet as he grows older he becomes what we call a Bronco puppet which is a Japanese technique where you have three profiteers manipulating it and on the death of his mother he transforms into a human boy. And the reason I chose that place is because the experience of death is such an overwhelming experience that it seems like like the right moment to be expressive emotionally with facial expression and voice that he's ready now to be considered a fully human being.

Julie is not a proper tutor. She uses puppets and masks in performance but it's not her major interest. It's unlikely. She does in fact freely combining the dance movement or storytelling puppets certainly and she has a way of melding them into one body. Yes that's your turn to get your cue to turn right. OK sure enough when you're off like crazy like puppetry like a Punch and Judy and the original Punch and Judy they get away with murder in this way and that what you know they can be extremely violent it's not offensive because it's you know it's a little bit removed from reality. Right. It's really it's hard to put in a box. She's almost a genetic engineer.

She takes its DNA from here and there. Recombines to create things that never existed before. You're. Robbed. In fool's fire which is based on hot frog. When I read the ground pole I was trying to decide this is a story about a dwarf court jester who is abused by this. Fat oily King and his corpulent ministers and I had to decide how to show these what was I going to hire eight bad actors and make them grotesque and I felt like kind if I do that I'm sort of like I'm making as much fun of them in a way as they in the story are making fun of this dwarf because he's little.

So there was something uncomfortable about I mean I love Fellini and but the way that Lena virtual and Fellini have used fat people sometimes always kind of gets me. One of the things that I know I deal with is archetypes. There are these archetypes that go way back. The school teacher. Has to have that long pointing finger and the five pairs of eye glasses and then the head that's a book that if that's true I'm sure that is something that everybody knows somehow because it's from the perspective of being a child. If one had to think of other artists that Julie Taymor is closest to me I would probably in the end. Talk about the magic realist let American novelist like Marcus be the obvious one. That's really her world. The illegal soul is. Integral to me personally to Moore's work.

In fact the case of one Barry and it certainly is a very active collaboration. What I did was. I took. The Requiem Mass. And. I took those words. And I. Pressed it up against the story and I found the corresponding. Almost. Miraculous. What I see. Is. JULIE. Thrilled and surprise. At what Ellie comes up with. And telling it kind of. Amazed. At what truly can something. Like that for five six seven. Man as an artist you go out and you find the world and you see these possibilities and they touch you in your heart and your head and inspire you.

And make you. Think. Really. We find it of use it truly is very distinctive. Having seen one of her works like one Darien. But I fear to go should be able to immediately identify with Julie Taymor work will look to. Them. To. Its knees. I did not. Like dad.

Donna is a spirit of irreverence and freedom to attempt or try whenever anyone likes dawdles bit the mischievous childish element that we all want to have from traditional provocation a slap in the face of high art.. God gave us all permission. A lack of respect. Making mischief. The triumvirate of New York dot is usually established as Marcel Duchamp of Francis because. And the third of this triumvirate is Man Ray. In the case of Marcel Duchamp there is a legacy a legacy that's carried through with his work and it forces you to ask the question whether or not it should be considered within the realm of art. But by St. Lucia lived above me you had to have been 10 with 43 when I made a walking

dead of stairs in the morning. It's a good dinner being Elfric. Kind rashly. When I made a morning and evening. It's a good warning Elford. That's a queer wee country where. The show is entitled making mischief. Data invades New York in fact the object next to me is a perfect illustration of the degree of mischief that this particular artifact caused is probably greater than I would dare say almost any artifact produced in the 20th century. Surely you would know that if we didn't work a while after essentially materially possibly yes all kinds of theories have been proposed about why it should be our. It looks like the shape of a seated Chinese porcelain Buddha. It recalls the curvature of the female body in the traditional art of the figure.

But to show himself denounces all of these interpretations endure it. He states that what he meant by it was pure provocation. The famous line in the pure Kabang book says I flung the piss pot in their faces and they told me it was beautiful. Really put Betty and he knew he would spread that thing throughout the world ended in 2030 disappeared appeared and 43 disappeared appeared in 60 disappeared. And keep on appearing and disappearing. I think the Spirit of God I will never leave the. Knowledge it is there to. Formally. Enlighten us with. Fresh possibilities. And really philosophically to shift and change certain kinds of. Embedded. Self righteous conviction

that comes like a broom. To sweep out so much. Bad painting. Finally 50's. A lot of younger artists were probably pretty fed up with the seriousness about struck expressionism and so the freedom and the irreverence of thought I think is very attractive to them. His piece is called for we'll I think 19 or 62 or 63. It's a sound producing for real. Time it's part of. The dodgems vocabulary turning wheels bicycle wheels. This was one of my most despised pieces I've been working on douche on for about 12 years now in. The name of this installation is trying to play safe to shot. The first piece that I recreated was the bicycle wheel. Marcel Duchamp said about the bicycle wheel but it was just meant to be a diversion. The way one would look at a fire in a fireplace. Marcel Duchamp. Chose the object. And we chose in the dark for. I guess

are doubling the inventory. Doubling possible the bad interpretations of the original object from the original. Though some people may disagree with me I really do feel that this film would have wholeheartedly embraced this appropriation movement of artists who. Make objects that were similar to those that he made. While the really interesting thing about the Mona Lisa piece and the Duchamp repertoire is that it was actually an appropriated piece from Leonardo DaVinci that he took and sort of had the. Audacity to deface it or make an addition with a mustache and goatee calling it out age 0. Q. Means she's got. Marcel Duchamp didn't give a damn about anything he was in the SEALs So we take a sheet of glass as what I have is this wall and throw what I had my way into it and been asked to

split it and made a picture right of which it was exhibited in the Philadelphia Museum. My word. Never. Want to shock anyone. And I've always been shocked when I did and I think dial has shock value every single time it's shown. Dot if anything no matter how you define it is a state of mind it's a way of thinking about art. These people are making objects that force you to thing. And only one point for New York's audiences to see when they show it the real need and Kalish humans show it to represent burgeoning Neo Donna. At the New Museum and Mike villas store front as well as they have a sort of conceptual contemporary version of. Donna. I never missed a whit exhibit exhibit and I've been missed a bit exhibit because I don't know it all and what I know can stain your letter if it did because I myself have changed.

Life changes you can't stand still. This exhibition is devoted to photographs taken in Holland when the Germans had seized

power photographers have to literally go underground to record the events that are happening in their country. Most of these photographs were taken under great duress. The photographers were really in danger of being arrested or shot if they'd been been discovered by the German authorities. Home are where all. My. Exhibition of Flatland a Victorian satire that was written in 1890. I use strings with which I can manipulate objects and materials into gesture and movement which is exactly what actress provides in the theatre. But one school. 20 years later.

Where eighteen hundred children. Experience the joy of. Learning and using. The N. Poetry in Motion is a program that the Poetry Society of America co-sponsors with New York City transit. Thing is gonna use a train years later something reading the

family feel like. You know you gave them an invite. But I like that you don't think of going to spas. You know. When you're feeling about the poems you're just thinking about your boyfriend or maybe think that I've been in the past or maybe the same happening tomorrow. You never know. I like to say in the training imagine it was an A in they dream about I don't know my future with a man. Like the friends. That you my dear Yanis and. Thank you right here for yeah. Thank. Bless you bless you with all. The hours have saved. Me while you were gone. It's about a man who. I believe. Is above. The surface of. It. It was about. Her standing was away from. His or her life. I think it's nice.

To meet it. I'm not a stickler for. Poetry. I don't care whether. Or not. Whether it's Martin. Or like treated as a joke. But it's nothing new. To me. Get off. The stage. Thank you. People responded very well to. This matter of fact I think it is because it is a place that you don't expect to find it it's like going to hell and despair and finding a rose. The only. Helix.

The memory of all of. Late. So many writers didn't have the originality of the day. You could tell a Gershwin tone. Since I wrote a song called How About You and I said I like New York and you know how I like a good friend. What. I wrote was a first great live record. I also had great humor in his writing which is what George had in his musics one. Small. One. I realized the value of what a good lyric does for a melody it brings out qualities in the ability that. It wouldn't have otherwise. I'm livid that my gallant

man married the man. It's very clear. Our love is a beautiful man one that wonderfully very sensitive. Working with her was it. Was a great experience and Gershwin represents the great songs a lifetime. Your. Own and the movie mean both ways. Next time on city arts. Great deal of what the restoration of bread Central has to do is bringing back the significance faced in many many people's daily life. This is genius not only in the way in that it makes people feel great in it. And one

of the reasons for that. Is the sophistication of the. Plumbing gives every little girls dream of being kind of like a princess. My sugar plum is a Bob Fosi. Leg kind of. Whole. Angular alluring. He told us of our high school the real. You know this is the same thing as fame on TV. But. What. The book.
