Bruno Aveillan: RODIN AND THE GATES OF HELL. written by Zoé Balthus and and Bruno Aveillan screened at the Cantor Arts Center, Stanford University
Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit by which Nature herself is animated.

This lamp will last 10,000 years. … It’s such a weird idea, to make an object that is designed to be around for several thousand years. Nobody ever thinks in those terms anymore. At all. Do you know what I’m saying? Chris Burden
Sophocles Oedipus in Fort Mason Chapel as part of The San Francisco International Arts Festival
The staged reading of Oedipus happened last night in Fort Mason Chapel for San Francisco International Arts Festival … I’m biased but i thought it was marvelous
