Robert Mapplethorpe, Self Portrait, 1980, © Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation
The other day, I was delighted to have a conversation with a perfect stranger on the following topics:
1. Turner
2. Mapplethorpe
3. Pollock
4. the MoMa
5. Whitney
6. ICA (Philly)
7. Toulouse Latrec
8. Klimt
Not to mention the music of:
1. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
2. Boris
3. Sunn O))))
4. Flamenco
5. classical (Ravel, Beethoven)
6. Killing Joke
7. Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings
8. 60s French Pop (Serge Gainsbourg, Les Chats Sauvages)
I will also add that the pleasure of discussing Grado and Sennheiser headphones gave me a great thrill. Audio compression. Amplifiers.
Oh, and garlic. Spanish cuisine.
And the following question:
"Is your graphic design static or dynamic?"
What better conversation to have? Next up, film and literature.
