First thoughts on this museum George Lucas is only showing his artwork from his Star Wars films now owned by Disney but it is better than what I initially thought. It is an art museum that presents visual storytelling through illustrations, paintings, comic art and in-depth exploration of the arts of filmmaking(storyboards, costumes, animation, visual effects)(lucasmuseum.org). Challenging the way people view art museums varies collections of digital art, cinema, and narrative. Recently the museum acquired the Separate Cinema Archive, a collection of 37,000 objects documenting African American cinema history from 1094 to the present day (Sarah Cascone, artnet.com, 2020It is great to see that there is diversity in the art museum, which unfortunately sometimes we do not see in high art museums. What I thought was amazing was that the museum wants to include new films and filmmakers as well sharing historic films. Here's to hoping they follow through on this inclusion of diversity. Coming soon to LA, 2021 The Lucas Museum of Narrative.
"Why the F**k I'm Up" "for this projected I took a shit ton of photos for about 6 months now. And I did not know what I wanted to do with them. Anyway, I took slices of each photo that was taken at an ungodly hour. And rearranged them into a new view of my car window. And I will say I was not driving when I produced these photos. It pays off sometimes to be early. But I rather be sleeping."
This weekend I went to an awesome record store in Seattle called Easy Street Records. Man oh, oh man was I was in vinyl record heaven, at first glance the store had some records, merch, and cafe. And I was a little excited to fully know to expect, so I checked out a few bins seeing that it was a marked sale. And some rows wrapped around the upper level which was small but it had a whole lot of vinyl records. Words cannot explain the feeling in a record store and a great one for that matter. But what made this store worth the trip was the number of rare records that you cannot find at Best Buy, Barnes n Nobles, Wal-Mart or Adventure Land Comics store. This place is my top favorite record store aside from RIP "Off the Record" which unfortunately went out business.
In last part of chapter 1 Michael Rush cites an artist, Trisha Brown created one of the first dance performance media videos in 1966 (77). The video shows Brown dancing with a projector to her back showing images of her choreography as she real time performing in front of audience. I thought it was a interesting and cool idea. Curious to see if the projector was in the way of the live performance. Or that was intention or if she powered through. The weight of projector did not even phase her. She is total badass if she did not have any problems. I think she is badass either way.
