Yeah, this completely passed me by... Such sad news.

I miss you. Don't be dead.

ten years pass...

Saw a documentary tonight (Cunningham--with two documentaries on photographer Bill Cunningham, Merce would have been a better title). Tough go for me. It felt like there was an assumed familiarity with and understanding of modern dance; I have neither. I needed some of those much-reviled talking heads to give me some context as to how the work I was seeing connected to other art (there was a little bit on the abstract expressionist painters) and to the world (again, brief mention of Vietnam and race riots).
