Robert Irwin: A Desert of Pure Feeling
•••
One of my favorite artist documentaries. Robert Irwin's work is very conceptual so it can be easy to just walk away from it. But it's truly stunning. And the thing I love about this movie is that you see him as a totally ordinary human, collaborating with other humans joyfully in service of making his work the best that it can be.

Julie Mehretu's RISD commencement address
•••
"Beauty and poetics carry weight. They are how human beings have always processed what is unbearable, imagined what is not yet possible, and kept alive the sense that something else could exist. A painting that stops you in your tracks, a building that changes how you feel in your body, a piece of design so right it seems inevitable and yet somehow vulnerable — these are arguments about what the world could be." The whole thing is SO GOOD. I’m so glad art students got to hear this but think it’s something the rest of us need to hear, too 💙
