venerdì 14, avremo modo di vederci al caffè delle esposizioni, @esposizionicaffe , in via nazionale, dentro al palazzo delle espò, per una serata particolare. Alle sette e poi alle nove, in due set, accompagnerò con la chitarra elettrica due pezzettini di video arte e fotografia. Un piccolo corto sui ragazzi a New York, e su un cotè un po’ più Jonas Mekas, l’intervento video sul mio libro, Swim till I Sank. If you know me, you know that music was my first career and the first love of my life and it’s still critical to the whole creative process. I will play music by Townes Van Zandt, Graham Parker, some old country blues and maybe two or three standard themes, stripped bare. As I find myself repeating verses and choruses ad lib., trying to recall the lyrics, like in a goofy mantra, I seem to be able to revisit that first spark that always moved me. The feeling of awe towards the creative life and its weird, surprising manifestations. Come this friday, we’ll have a drink, a bit of fun, relax and enjoy the images and music. All are welcome, good vibes only.
