Found this video of Jack Kerouac while looking for information to add to my list of intersting folk, think its fantastic... you cant beat a little bit of jazz piano *click, click, click*
couldnt quite figure out how to add the video to the page so here is the link instead...
We where lucky enough to do the interview with Kenny Hunter this afternoon and yesterday with Justin Carter and Ross Sinclair. What i found interesting about all three conversations is that although there where alot of different opinions given, particularly to the question "what is Art?" the one thing that kept coming up was politics. Whether it be the need to share something of meaning or the idea that its never the artists place to take sides but to use your own experiance as a filter through which you express your opinions. Really looking forward to seeing the vidoes now so i can remember exactley what was said.
Also I've been doing a little bit of research about the original school building on Ingram street and from this i think i would like my bit of the project to involve maps in some way. With this in mind i did some googling to see what i could find, one of the results from my 'imaginative maps' search was excerpts from a conversation with Salman Rushdie. Although it had nothing to do with what i was looking for and really wasnt that helpful at all there was a couple of things said that i liked a lot... this one in particular made me think of the relationships between people within the school and the atmosphere thats created from them... a bit like a cooking smell...
"One image I find most satisfying is the leaking, people leaking into each other like flavours when you cook... One bit of the story (Midnights Children) leaks into other stories."
