Juana Molina is one of my musical heroes and I love her approach to life and art. This is a short and sweet documentary (22 min) that gives a glimpse of her home and family life, creative practice, and playful sense of humor. I can’t wait to see her perform later this month.

She’s one of my favorite artists. Specifically her performance art videos, and the quality / visual taste of how her pieces in nature are filmed, is exquisite. The way she uses herself as a body within her work is not only captivating, but something I feel I can personally relate to as someone who also uses their physical being as part of their art process.

Anytime I need to be soothed or particularly inspired I’ll type in “Bjork documentary” on YouTube and either watch the one that is the making of Medulla or the one where she’s talking to David Attenborough. I also watch her old live shows a lot. I will really watch any video that has anything to do with her. I love the way she’s so carnal and wild and elemental but also holds this trust in divination - I feel like she merges both polarities of what it is to be a human so beautifully.

1958 Newport Jazz Festival. Beautifully documented by fashion photographer Bert Stern. Ft. all of the jazz legends, crowds, outfits … and most importantly, Anita O’Day’s iconic performance of Sweet Georgia Brown and Tea for Two. After reading her autobiography I learned that she was high on heroin at the time. Her performance, specifically, is one of my comfort watches on YouTube.

Multiple reasons to visit NGA, but the free screenings are among the top for me. Thought provoking programming that is usually tied in some way to ongoing exhibitions. I don’t watch trailers so I love to go in there without any expectations. Shout out to the lush red velvet seating - so cozy.
