City Arts; 317

Our best collection are those that come from your poem logical from what they brought back was in the boat in the traps and boat was all in the imagination. You can almost be in love for two and a half or three minutes with your partner there is no limit to how deeply you can go into time. There are close to me tragic I mean if I see a walk down the street in New York and just see this really doll I really believe that that people would do more of this kind of thing if they would bow out and express their feelings on the

whole I think the city will be a beautiful city.

person brought here by your parents. Whenever I can see you coming back here and launch Tom our mysterious passage ways read this way and that and you have through it right from the beginning before you've even seen one of the thirty three million hot objects that are in the museum by the sense of wonder this sense that this is almost primordial to be exciting. I've been coming out of this museum and as long as I can over being alive and I have a kind of emotional attachment to this museum that's probably every child was raised in New York City has passed by this long long Indian war canoe about as long as three goddamn Cadillacs in a row with about 20 Indians in it. Some understand. Look if there is one very

spooky guy in the backseat with a mask on. He was the witch doctor. He gave me the creeps. But I liked him anyway. Our best collection are those that come from masterful logical process. They come from people who have been in the play and who have recorded the context of life of the people. If you think of the kind of work that Margaret made good in solitary or for going off and spending a long time in a single place and recording very carefully very comprehensive what they brought back wasn't just in the bows in the traps and the skin boats was also in the imagination in the folk tales of the language and the riddles and the legends and the real. Just practices of these people very very rich cultural life. One of those

things is the Chinese wedding chair the chair symbolizes a very poignant moment the Chinese woman probably a young girl would ride in as she left her own home and went to her husband's house. So this was like being exiled to a foreign country. You have to go and live among strangers and make them happy. That's her destiny as a Mormon. We think of anthropology as a science in the sense of the cultural science. But those objects are also of course beautiful and inspiring as art even though they may not have been created but that they were really created for ritual purposes sometimes for use in daily life. This is in your own state what's happening from China. His head comes off to cover it for disposal.

There's a special meaning in it and a value to seeing objects in the Natural History Museum where you see them in terms of the whole cultural and social background and their meaning I think is enhanced in a way that art museums can't do because they're not geared towards discussing the used objects in terms of their used their religious function and so forth. I think all of us that have children are aware that our strategies on Sundays are filled with offer to these to delve into fictional entertainments. It's the museums that are the purveyors of the real. This is shaming code for me you could hear people in Siberia. These were people who suffered horribly in the Soviet period who were near and who were executed. That code is probably worn and danced in a hundred and fifty years ago a moment in time when shamans were figures of tremendous power.

They were the people who brought back messages from their journeys out to the spirits. This is something that was news. This was something that was that is a witness from another place. And it's kind of a triumph that these artifacts remain. Best thing though in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was. Nobody had moved them to be different. You go into totem pole and say I walked in there with a woman who was young in the 1920s and she said Oh yes father brought us here. And there was this sense of connecting with the past. But if you look at the rest of the museum it's a constant process of change and run a nation. Well the new museum by its nature is more from Earth but it's rooted in storytelling. It's rooted in a time and space experience that leads

people through information almost as if the information form the architecture itself. The museum does its job properly. You come away rich by having discovered stuff having discovered something about the natural world having discovered things about other cultures and having discovered something about oneself and they are in the process of doing that for many many people on the globe. The 20th century did terrible things the 20th century taught and I think cultures did have no value. And what we have is part of a carefully preserved records of what these cultures have then both for the people who have a direct claim but also for the common human experience. You can almost for two and a half or three minutes with your partner

at the sex and for the one soul the soul. There is no limit to how deeply you can go into tango. It's very close to me. Tragic I want out of here just to go to one thing lately. If I'm going I'm only going to get one of the hip opens I mean both anything they write is no music I could get a real good looking it's all innocent you me and the enemy line for you you know what is it black I mean it may have been a killer.

It's a dance of immigrants. It's a dancing around the turn of the century there was this massive immigration from people from Eastern Europe Western Europe into Argentina. So SUE BOWEN are going to be remembered Congo is Good Good Good Good Good Good Good. More than a tango somehow got into these brothels and became a dance that you danced in the brothels. It was being danced by people who were extremely poor This was the poorest of the poor. What the men would do is practice tango during the week at night on streets and then danced up one night a week at the brothels because it's all they could afford to be there. One of the popular

tangles is called as you know and it refers to the rounds that a prostitute makes in the neighborhood. And it's all about despair. Well when her own came to power he said if we have a perfect society how can there be lyrics to music which are about despair and hopelessness and so he banned tango tango among other things grew out of protests which is another reason why tango is considered to be dangerous. There are tangles written about stress. I find a lot he's sorry i'm things that remind me of my past or my ancestors when I thought the performance might be like my grandparents and when I heard the news I started to cry and I really couldn't see the description anybody but someone from one side. Why

I said I'm going to play and I was amazed that normal people could dance like that. I could never do that. He drank to refine things and he went and you know after one of the first big business. So it's step by step because it's not necessary. What you learn it's a communication between the leader and the follower. This is like a conversation between a man and a woman and he starts a conversation

and it's a very clever response properly and then he'll wait and then the woman can sort of play with her. She dragged her foot up and down you know seriously become addicted as many people do and you can dance seven nights a week. Some people go to these dances to meet make friends meet new acquaintances and some people go to listen to the music and some people go to wrestle with the demons that are inside them that Tango has some of the tango

is something that you have within you and it should be a stirring of the so. And that comes out when it's an expression when you don't want to hide it from one or two I'd on my window. When you're dancing out there you're dancing a tradition you're honoring the tradition. I don't want to go in and I will get a bill out of the holder. But in

the famous County evolution of its life flight equipment that was used from 3 800 to 900. If I thought it went down almost out of the horse's Komodo life life is still the thing to get the water to fight. Senec of those was a community of African-American and Irish immigrants. Village was destroyed Central Park was built on the side of the people are going to go it's had a community

with deep roots. Every big part of New York the next century and the rest it is a place that is the heart of exchange it's not just just theater and it's not just reform in a lot of education that goes on here. The place itself means a lot to the Brooklyn community. Darren and his colleagues opened up the notion of his art the dark like Nicholas Ray very much he said it was right. Cinema Adar felt that Ray was prophetic of something because his camera would rest and celebrate this time of rebellion. Then he finds out and people like Ray

and I have the faith. All my life and become an artist a painter and I would be dance a reel so I wind up going this people throughout the world and learning if people can work together. You can go work in a factory one office building with all different kinds of people. Why can't you do that at home. Why can't all different kinds of people come you know get together and express themselves and create a beautiful in the public eye kind of job.

Oh they call this a kind of house. Even the police will say you know they don't go by the I don't think all the other kind of house I wouldn't choose any subject. But outside the house people face we are very familiar with and most people know what that means. They know it means something big something beautiful something tragic. I never really meant it to be I thought it was just my way of expressing that I thought all this death and every room on the Titanic was different they hire the finest craftsman in the world built just like 84 years ago. An artist wants to create something that no one else can do. He wants to be different and he wants to be known and be remembered. I did this because I want people to be able to come up to me and not beastie an emotion to say well what about it gives me a reason to talk to them. Is that a lot of work by coming

to the girl you know. Yeah his signal is your lives it's very much he did it rock by rock. Here's what I think I read. Google time capsule stones of their way I guess he has acquired some sense of immortality. You know it's like my little IS THE LOVE OF MY like it's my pride and joy when I don't know if they can deal Grady does 80 and they don't is the 900 So I do Valentines Day St. Patrick's Day

Mother's Day Memorial Day behind the showcases. I have my Christmas stuff. We go now to Thanksgiving when we have instant breakfast. Mr. Christie to from the heart. In fact estimates I'm like freaking me John you are the hottest always sunset and when time is less than I was on if Yeah I'm the heart and soul of times have focused on me last week. I enjoy doing this for a neighborhood get to see the people space to push the kids to come out of the car they go they go crazy they day it opens a can of any holiday and that's a miracle nobody touched anything you know it as a thing the respect you know for is not there with the space I mean how many homes how many you walk down the street you often you see this really doll. I really believe that that people would do more of this kind of say if they would go out and

express their feelings for their home. I think this really would be a beautiful. Gone off as I

grew up and most likely will fire if you can make it go. We were back home and leave go with you because time because of food in the car with him. Oh man oh man oh man. Ma'am I am. Next time. The best of the city are trying to walk away.

People thinking they are the B R Y are to be considered some of the real law. I mean what a walk. Krista one of the world's great landscape architects proposed to do this wonderful consumption are eleven thousand arches with these saffron colored banners know what outline all the fast cars. I would like to highlight one of the most positive he would get of New York. Right. City
