this is a really long article about her work "the end of the moon". i've got to see some of this stuff to get a better idea of what it's all about.


"Some of her discoveries were deeply troubling. She was amazed to see the latest space-suit designs, which include fibers that increase the strength of the wearers and release adrenaline or morphine, depending on the situation--but her heart sank to learn that the suits are no longer being developed for NASA and that the Defense Department is adapting them for its own purposes. "Instead of going into outer space, they will be sent to the desert, out into the war," Anderson says.
In her performance of The End of the Moon, she presses this political point further: "And tell me how you'll know when this war is over. Because this war will never be over. It will just keep moving from place to place." And then she plays a requiem on the violin.
"It's my emotional partner," she says. "The violin says everything I can't say about fragility and endlessness and running into some kind of crazy eternity, without sounding ridiculous."


-that's from the above article. i think i'll put in that quote about the violin.


"I didn't think of this as a sad thing until I did the first performance. Maybe I'm not the only one, but I do feel a sense of loss these days. Like I lost something and I can't quite articulate it, so I'm walking around it. I wrote this piece about a year ago. The war was beginning. I think what I lost was my country--the feeling of belonging somewhere. The last three years have been pretty tough and alienating for a lot of people. "

a nice article from thwe smithsonian.


"WHAT'S THE MESSAGE IN YOUR WORK? If I had a message, I would write it down and e-mail it to everybody. I would save a lot of paint that way. My work is more about trying to create images through words and pictures. I want to evoke a reaction more than explain anything clearly. I don't like things to be confused, but I like them to be multifaceted. "


-quote from the interview.
