Another wonderful week of art events. Last Thursday we went to a performance piece by Krisztina Lazar at the Swell Gallery, an extension site of the Art Institute , the REAL art school in town. Krisztina, as you may know, did the cover painting for The Valence Project. She was body painting and throwing herself against the canvas tacked to the wall. Very edgey, and beautiful. Saturday was The Merce Cunnham Dance Company at Zellerbach. The piece was Cunningham's last, "Nearly 90" with music by John Paul Jones and
Takehisa Kosugi. One is reminded of the quote that "Talent does what it can, genius does what it must."
And then last night a benefit performance in a private home at the top of Belvedere for the Marin Symphony by my dear friends Caminos Flamencos. Yaelisa, Jason, Felix and Fanny were brilliant, and stunning set against the bay and San Francisco skyline. My only regret was missing Ralph Towner Saturday, but I guess even I can't be two places at once.
