Laurie Anderson's Video Address at the Creative Time Summit 2011

"I realized that [...] a world that is constantly moving and never quite built and [...] is made of people's imaginations is the world I really want to live in."
- Laurie Anderson
Laurie Anderson talks about how she relates to the work of art of Jeanne van Heeswijk, recipient of the annual Leonore Annenberg Prize for Art and Social Change in 2011. This is a video address aired at the the Creative Time Summit in New York, September 2011 (Laurie was absent from the event since she was just doing a concert in Bolzano, Italy on the same day).

Laurie mentions Tom Hodgkinson's "How to Be Idle" (one of her current favourite books), and articulates the poignant question: "who are you working for?". In the end she also expresses her desire for an artist-in-residence in the White House, the Congress and other central authorities.

P. S. Tom Hodgkinson's book is really funny as hell.
