Greil Marcus on Jay DeFeo (coinciding with her SFMOMA retrospective.) 

Greil Marcus Talk - Jay DeFeo and All That Jazz - November 5th, 2012 from Mills Art on Vimeo.

(sat in the front row for this; a good vantage for the weird plaid that emerges from the cross-section of Ivory Tower literati/academics, and those obsessive, dirty Youths, now abstract and grayscale on the screen.)


from Berkeley's Art, Technology, and Culture Colloquium:
"The most resonant slogan of Occupy Wall Street is 'we are the 99%!' But who are the one percent? The popular answer is 'Wall Street.' But to think about this more closely, perhaps the question to ask is: how do the most advanced means of computing and communication of our time create new class relations? Perhaps this isn't your grand-parents capitalism we are now living in. Perhaps there are intra-class struggles within the ruling class for which we do not yet have good social maps. Perhaps there are new kinds of class formation outside the ruling class. What do the new relations of communication mean for the creation of art and culture?"
