Call
for Artists and Photographers
from
New Orleans to Put Together a Show
By
Chuck Siler
Museum
Curator Rudy,
I'm not in a place where long statements and
diatribes against the existing whatever work for me. I was
so busy "making do" for the first week or so that I
couldn't produce. I went to Baton Rouge searching for a place to
settle my group of evacuees and had a mixed experience which has
me considering options other than continuing to deal with
"the job".
I did have a great experience because of an
invitation to saxophonist Wes Anderson's house on the Sunday
evening before I left to return to Dallas (our evacuation
destination). It was all about the music that happened and
the feeling that it left me with started the pen to moving
again. The battery was recharged and here are some of the
results.
I'm putting out a call for the artists and
photographers from New Orleans to contact me because there are
folk interested in doing shows and the like.
I know a lot of people lost work but this might serve as
incentive for them to pick up pen, brush, camera, whatever and
start making their statements.
I'm glad you kept the book list on ChickenBones
because I've got a library to reconstruct (the house got 8 feet
of water).
Another haiku:

I will be
back on track,
adversity aside...
my ass is
intact. |
