The 24×7 film experiment (working title iCollaborated) continues to be a huge amount of both work and fun. As those of you who are following our progress know, we are in edit and have only a small amount of shooting to complete before we go into a final edit.
And time permitting, as we progress in the edit we’ll continue releasing podcasts comprised of excerpts from the shoots. Why are we releasing podcasts? Well, partly to experiment with methods to increase awareness for the film (i.e., blatant self promotion) and partly because it’s helping the edit process along. And why not, it’s easy for peeps to listen to podcasts while driving or on the train or at the gym.
This podcast is from the shoot with Kiki Smith and Bill T. Jones. You probably have seen Kiki’s work in museums or private collections and either seen Bill’s company perform either live or on television. On the very off chance you haven’t seen their work, check the schedules and get out from behind your fancy high-res flatscreen monitor and have look. Sure, I was skeptical about the whole going outdoors thing at first too, but it’s actually nice not seeing the world solely in pixels, I now understand what all the going out just for fun fuss is about :)
If you need more information feel free to email me directly, I think Bill’s next performance is at the Kennedy Center and Kiki is in collections pretty much everywhere.
The shoot was done over lunch (at a fantastic Mexican restaurant in Greenwich Village, La Palapa, in case you miss the dining sounds in the audio) and they chat about creativity, making art and identity. The entire lunch conversation was amazing, and as usual we didn’t include the bits in the podcast we’re using in the film. We have a lot of interesting footage from all of the shoots so it’s been difficult selecting the bits for the film, I wish there was a way to show you more of it.
If you’re an artist or at all interested in creativity you will probably enjoy this podcast. BTW, why do you make art?
A huge thanks to both Kiki and Bill for participating in iCollaborated.
Here’s the podcast, it runs about 18 minutes. Enjoy (18mb).
