William Eggleston At The Whitney

Comments   1   Date Arrow  November 10, 2008 at 8:54pm   User  by William Speruzzi | Print This Post

From Gothamist:

The Whitney has just opened Eggleston’s first New York museum solo show since his MoMA debut. Called “William Eggleston: Democratic Camera, Photographs and Video, 1961-2008,” the expansive retrospective covers the beginnings of his career some fifty years ago to the present day, and includes more than 150 photographs, some never-before-exhibited, as well as the rarely screened video diary of Eggleston’s “legendary nocturnal wanderings,” Stranded in Canton.

Eggleston’s work has informed such filmmaker’s as David Lynch, Francis Ford Coppola and many others. Make a note to attend.

What can I say other than today is the day. Do your duty as a citizen of this country. If you like the way things are and want to stick with the status quo, go with that guy. If you want to set a precedent for what could be a major turning point for this country, well, vote for that guy. Just make sure you do it then at least you’ve earned the right to bitch and whine for the next four years if your guy loses. Vote early and vote often.

You can get a free cup of coffee, scoop of ice cream or a doughnut if you do. If that’s not a reason….

So go vote and watch a film tonight while you wait for the results.
