0:31
our investigation of the work
0:33
of the artist interior decorator, fashion
0:35
and textile designer song Yeah
0:37
Dylan A. She. Was really
0:39
truly one of the most important
0:41
creators at during the twentieth century,
0:44
and her work spent more than
0:46
sixty years. And. While she
0:48
is mostly remember today as a painter
0:51
and also a founder of the art
0:53
movement known as Simultaneous, I'm. A.
0:55
Groundbreaking new exhibition at the Bard Graduate
0:57
Center in New York City is taking
0:59
a closer look. At her creative
1:02
output in the realm of fashion and
1:04
textiles On be A through July Seven
1:06
Twenty Twenty Four the exhibitions on your
1:08
Delany Living or it was Coker it
1:10
it Bible area dora go back. And
1:13
Laura micro list. And while Laura wasn't
1:15
able to join us, Valeria chatted with
1:17
us earlier this week to tell us
1:19
about Sonia background, her obsession and incredible
1:21
work with color as well as the
1:24
diversity of her creative expression. And
1:26
today we are going to learn a little
1:28
bit more about her work and the realm
1:30
of fashion, textiles and tapestries. So without further
1:32
ado we picked back up with our conversation
1:34
with full area. There's. A
1:36
really Wonderful Quotes in your book
1:38
In it's one of our clients
1:41
describing the experience. Of walking
1:43
into her fashion world right? I'm
1:45
gonna read it if I can
1:47
as as quote you enter her
1:49
home she says she addresses furniture
1:52
designs for furniture, designs for dresses.
1:54
They. Do not look like anything you
1:56
can find the could raise or at
1:58
the exhibitions. And truth they are new
2:01
things, but the impression of newness that
2:03
is typically it accompanied by an mistrust
2:05
is not here. Simply optimistic. Son.
2:08
And on a dresses and she dresses
2:10
and the strictest sense she designs but
2:12
we see designs is not address. Not
2:14
a scarf but a new creature. And
2:17
I just love this quote so
2:19
much about about her fashion work
2:21
and and conceptualizing it with the
2:23
furniture with all these other creations
2:25
that she's making. Shit.
2:27
Pretty much a full fledged fashion designer at
2:30
this point? So. You just
2:32
mentioned that you could go into the American department stores
2:34
and can get fat if you get a scarf. What
2:37
types of clothing where she making and
2:39
out, what was her process and who
2:41
were some of her notable customers? If
2:43
there. Are any. So.
2:46
Son and alone as a fashion
2:48
designer is quite an interesting phenomenon
2:51
because. As. I mentioned she
2:53
had a drop of fashion brands
2:55
and the company that advertised internationally
2:57
and was fairly well known. But.
2:59
She certainly didn't watch the same
3:02
way. As other miss on to could
3:04
chew. On the she was conducting
3:06
a business. In the
3:08
much more informal and
3:10
personal manner and festival.
3:13
She didn't have a business venue. But operators
3:15
from her living room. And you
3:18
you're wonderful. Quote said
3:20
describes precisely. That experience
3:22
entering the the apartments.
3:24
Where the family lives at Without my
3:27
that and. She. Woods you
3:29
would. You would sit in their living
3:31
room and she would present you thing
3:33
but she didn't adhere to the seasonal
3:35
system. awful for to the which means.
3:37
That she didn't really. So. during
3:40
what we would now call fashion Week
3:42
and she didn't make seasonal collection. But
3:44
it was all. Much
3:47
much more informal and. It's
3:49
happening And home. And
3:51
your clients who are many
3:53
friends are generally people. With.
3:55
An artistic occupation. They.
3:58
Would visitor and whatever they like. Whether.
4:01
It was something she had just come up with or
4:03
an older. Design she would make for them
4:05
and she mostly source the fabrics. Were.
4:09
In. Our heads have them ordered after her
4:11
designs, but you can also bring her fabric
4:13
that you found elsewhere. And then
4:15
she would have a caught by professional
4:17
ends give it to had rider or
4:19
silk painter and. Then she would
4:22
have the client come for several fittings.
4:24
That makes the sale with everybody else.
4:26
Glad. In their home. She.
4:29
Supplied with. This. And commission like
4:31
making an embroidery. We'd.
4:33
So know. A lot
4:35
about how the business walk to
4:37
the twenties because it's channel that
4:39
I mentioned. Begins. And Nineteen
4:41
Thirty three. But we do know that.
4:44
She. Hired of financial advisor
4:46
and manager and nineteen twenty six
4:49
when. The whole
4:51
business really takes off. His name was Jack Jack
4:53
Mon but he left her in the same year.
4:55
And. Then this role was occupied by
4:58
somebody called Zoc which was. And
5:00
she is really interesting figure because
5:03
she was a well known engineer
5:05
who was a great intellectual and.
5:08
Pioneer. In. Rationalist.
5:11
Business. Development. so he wanted
5:13
to. Take her business and
5:15
it's. And modernize it
5:17
and make it more efficient. And he
5:19
wants to sign contracts? Department stores
5:21
and make this line more accessible.
5:24
But. She was completely against these ideas
5:26
because she wanted to retain full
5:28
control. Over everything and. The.
5:30
Result of this was set to Fashion
5:33
House as opposed. To the textile business.
5:35
Didn't make much money, but it was
5:37
really great advertising for everything else. She.
5:40
Did for the interior design commissions
5:42
and where the text of obviously.
5:45
And all her decorating job
5:47
time. And funny Liaison
5:49
Couture himself was a great lion
5:51
because he's worth of the garments
5:53
by Sony and she also made
5:56
mens wear. But. She also
5:58
decorated his apartments in there. The
6:00
Ninety Thirties, and his wife Annette
6:02
could swoop boards dresses from Sanya
6:04
on a regular basis. And two
6:06
of those. Are. Actually in our
6:08
exhibition, one of them is. Really?
6:10
Beautiful. It's hand painted with
6:12
Dallas now or senses. You.
6:15
Can see how much. How much
6:17
artistic effort goes into the creations and
6:19
you asked about famous clients? I would
6:22
say that some of the more famous
6:24
ones were. App will lead
6:26
box were awesome. the photographer to
6:28
nice but make. Birds. That
6:30
the most famous that people know us.
6:32
As probably Gloria Swanson who had a.
6:35
Codes. And the fondues job
6:37
technique. Made in Nineteen Twenty Six. Out.
6:40
There are so beautiful and you have
6:42
an an example an exhibition at that
6:44
point as your embroidery in it. Or
6:47
even know how to begin to describe it except for
6:49
the fact that. It looks like
6:51
it's painting, but you know
6:53
it's not paid. His embroidery
6:56
at. That it almost looks like
6:58
brushstrokes that have been embroidered on to. The.
7:00
Said exactly like. It. Does
7:02
reunions an exhibition we have. To
7:05
earn. The. Earliest known objects
7:08
that. Survives.
7:11
Which. Is an embroidery from nineteen or nine
7:13
which is. It's. Not
7:15
an embroidery and it's not a painting.
7:18
It's something in between and earns. It's
7:20
exactly that. that she tried to use
7:22
the stitches like she would use across.
7:25
Wheel. And I think blessings of very interesting
7:27
that comes up again and again. And.
7:29
And various essays and the exhibition
7:32
catalogue. Is. Dawn a his
7:34
willingness as as a as people
7:36
have phrased it to engage in
7:39
these new methods and transmission. We
7:42
just a little bit more to that the
7:44
other. I think that the point is, you're
7:47
kind of might be one of those things
7:49
that minutes is radiates outwards and I also
7:51
would love it if you would speak about
7:53
some the incredibly rare Sasson films that are
7:55
featured in the exhibition. This
7:59
whole. He I mentioned
8:01
a few times said Sonia was
8:03
very aware of the needs to
8:05
promote yourself in various ways and
8:07
like she did in the night
8:09
and twenty five exhibition or with
8:11
the simultaneous dress that. Photographed.
8:14
And publicize. Widely.
8:17
And. Somebody who was generally
8:19
for sandy fascinated by all
8:22
kinds of logical developments and
8:24
embraced all new media. She
8:26
realized that. Much. Of
8:29
it was something that could be used
8:31
to have advantage on. The most obvious
8:33
examples are fashion photography or. Dressing and
8:35
actress for that role in film.
8:38
For. Example and Nineteen Twenty Six. She was
8:40
hired by the director when indecency to
8:43
work on the still new to buy
8:45
gold for which she. Applied to
8:47
Stop and Costume and black and whites
8:49
and what's really interesting assess because she
8:52
knows that she's working for a monochrome
8:54
media. She designs them in black and
8:56
white to get this. Optical.
8:59
Genetic effects that he wouldn't have
9:01
a few was just using. On
9:04
the fall or regular color
9:06
dresses. And all of these
9:08
designs with something that. You could purchase
9:10
at the same time as a studio so
9:13
it's. Pretty. Much product placement
9:15
national. But.
9:17
Been most remarkable use a film
9:20
by Saniora is the Coliseum of
9:22
Nineteen Twenty Six, the so called
9:24
hello Julian. Film. It
9:26
is. It is not really
9:28
some with analysis it as a
9:31
sequence of different scenes that altogether.
9:33
Are. Minutes long and made
9:35
with a rather costly and
9:38
complicated technique that. Is
9:40
able to projects a real and natural
9:42
color. Which, of course, very attractive
9:44
to her. And she uses to message
9:46
to Sue to fashioned film that
9:48
is. Absolutely. Fascinating
9:51
not only because you can
9:53
see how the design. Work.
9:55
In movement but because also you
9:58
can see how she combine. Her
10:00
color theory with promoting the
10:02
fashion. In one scene, for
10:04
example, there's a mannequin wearing a blue
10:06
dress and she stands on a pedestal.
10:09
And front of an orange background. And then
10:11
she steps down a couple of steps and
10:13
takes off the top layer of her outfits.
10:16
And that reveals or and stress.
10:18
In which she steps in front of blue background.
10:24
So you've never been a performance are it's
10:26
all things in the same time. Completely.
10:29
Or in a different scene you
10:31
have a mannequin in an orange
10:33
and black dress which hands and
10:35
life sized grayscale. That looks like a
10:37
giant. We'll as nods you the circle as
10:39
a symbol of done as he but also
10:42
the color scheme earth the color scale as
10:44
a tool for painters. And
10:46
this film was used by her
10:48
in January of Nineteen Twenty Sevens
10:50
You showed during lectures she gave
10:52
at the So Been on the
10:54
influence of painting on fashion design.
10:57
It was pretty much a
10:59
powerpoint presentation for it was
11:01
nord. So. It's it's.
11:03
really perfect illustration of. A
11:05
Policy A Read butts. shown.
11:07
On Fasten and Film was something
11:09
that she continued to be so.
11:11
Excited about even in old
11:14
age! In. Or exhibition.
11:16
On the first floor we have an art
11:18
film that was shot by but six in
11:20
one who worked for Sanya in the nineteen
11:22
seventies and was hot. The. Absolute
11:25
pleasure speaking lot to him and
11:27
meeting him. And he told us how.
11:29
In. Nineteen Seventy Two, He created
11:31
the swag. For. Which she
11:33
was able to suits Sonia masterpieces
11:36
and Paris and New York. And
11:39
he added to dumb he edited
11:41
some she was sequence of moving
11:43
stills. And then he showed
11:45
this to Sanya and silent version
11:47
and record it's. What she could
11:50
tell about these things and then edited
11:52
her voice soon and mix it with
11:54
music that she loves and. The.
11:56
Result is this varies from t twenty.
11:58
Minutes Retrospective. For wagons.
12:00
Very much of the time, but. You.
12:03
Know she was. She was in her
12:05
late eighties that. The. Time but she realized that
12:07
this film which was shown of Paris
12:09
and prices in this very popular as
12:12
a great way of promoting her walk.
12:14
Yeah. Yeah, it never stopped and
12:16
never stand. And. One
12:19
of the things that she was also engaging
12:21
and if I'm understanding correctly a little bit
12:23
later in her life are continuing to engage
12:25
in. And is for chip
12:27
is trees and isn't really
12:29
spoken about this. Tunis beans
12:31
their textile related of course.
12:34
I'm Laura wrote an entire chapter
12:36
and the exhibition catalogue on Sunniest
12:38
Papa Stories. And I think
12:40
that the top issues are very,
12:43
very interesting because they do at
12:45
once again sit at that intersection
12:47
of painting, interior design, fashion design,
12:50
Which. Has become a little bit about her tapestry.
12:52
Where am I what I would love to learn
12:54
more. Yes, Absolutely bad. Laura
12:56
chapter is my favorite chapter in the book
12:58
and sacked. Tapestries were
13:01
medium that Sanyo engaged
13:03
with. On. The in the late
13:05
two decades of Who Lives. And.
13:07
They have fun. Actually a major
13:10
media for many of whom guards
13:12
artists in the interwar period. For
13:14
example, because sorely called busy or.
13:17
Some. All dizzy and this
13:19
is thanks to. Money.
13:21
With to leave Who was a friend
13:23
of Sonos and who a friend your
13:25
and the tapestry revival of the nineteen
13:27
thirties. But. At this early stage
13:30
and even though they were friends even
13:32
though they were friends. Sarnia, Did
13:34
not have any tapestries produced after
13:36
the sketch of Stand in the
13:38
Night that She's but she did
13:40
creed rugs and and carpets. Who
13:42
leads you. That sea creatures.
13:45
Tapestries didn't really occupy her
13:47
until the late nineteen fifties
13:49
and see started working with
13:51
three work sought to produce
13:54
tapestries in the late fifties.
13:56
This. Was the attribute about In or
13:59
Be So, which is the historical
14:01
center for tapestry weaving and France.
14:04
And is was initiated. By
14:06
the gallerist a dentist in they've who
14:08
approach so new. And then
14:10
she was commissioned by the French stayed
14:12
in the nineteen sixties to design tapestries
14:15
that were proven at the good law
14:17
and will they have for the mood
14:19
billion Us and nine and Paris which
14:21
is the. Administration and.
14:24
Repository for all this state
14:26
owned bondage earned rocks and
14:28
tapestries zigzag. And
14:30
then in the nineteen seventies she
14:32
labrie does on a series of
14:34
tapestries with To Install which is
14:37
a privately owned company. And
14:39
an exhibition. We have this really
14:41
magnificent lots tapestry of woven by
14:43
Beauvais and night she'd seventy five
14:45
and it is on loan from
14:47
the more billion us to nine.
14:50
And next to it you have
14:52
the cartoon so that design. Sketch for
14:54
it's that was used to make it. And
14:57
to see them together, it's
14:59
quite the Newman aging to
15:01
understand that tapestries. Were
15:03
the perfect medium for Sanya at
15:05
the time because. Not only
15:07
are they. Woven. Bowl which
15:10
is something I'm sorry naturally to. ah.
15:12
But. Also because they allow how to
15:15
prepare a glass on a very small
15:17
scale that can then be transformed into
15:19
something that suits that is a monumental
15:21
work of art. And. That's not
15:24
an unimportant aspect, because. Say
15:26
in the seventies? She's. Of
15:28
an advanced age where she cannot
15:30
really handle very large canvases anymore.
15:32
But she's really. Keen to
15:34
explore the relationship between art and
15:36
architecture is she always was. And
15:39
the tapestries. Or something that
15:41
allows. Had to continue this. Exploration
15:43
of space and. You.
15:46
Know she was. She was so interested
15:48
in the relationship between the wall and
15:50
the author. An attempt. Tossing
15:53
for this and she was really actively involved
15:55
in their production and she understood the whole
15:57
process wet which is why she was a.
16:00
You. To create
16:02
the perfect design. And then of course.
16:05
Tapestry. Weaving has a
16:07
centuries long tradition and heritage
16:09
and France and. Up Something that
16:11
must have had a great p on Sanya. And.
16:14
For the state run workshops, it was
16:16
great to have an artist of the
16:19
Libor because they struggled to modernize the
16:21
production and fight against the. Idea
16:23
that tapestries was something that
16:25
was. Of. The past
16:28
and. What's. Really
16:30
curious is that Sanya tapestries was
16:32
something that made her. Really well
16:34
known and the United States because. There.
16:37
Were several existence across Manhattan in
16:39
the nineties seventies and and seton.

off. Today. It
20:18
is she was that one of the darlings
20:20
of the present avant garde early in her
20:22
career lay in her career. Her same just
20:24
grew and grew. and grew. and grew. So.
20:27
Letters and milestones. And as of
20:30
those latter years in the Nineteen
20:32
fifties and Eighteen sixties, and in
20:34
the Nineteen seventies in the Nineteen
20:37
fifties, Sanyo was. In. His
20:39
sixties. But in many ways it
20:41
always seems to me that she
20:43
was this young and a Jesse.
20:46
Artist who didn't shy away from
20:48
any new project and. That she
20:50
was so excited about what was happening. In
20:52
the art world's and. She. Was
20:55
parts of different artists lectures
20:57
like the with boss she
20:59
begins working. With mosaics in
21:01
nineteen Fifty. Flourish. She paints a
21:03
great deal of work. She. Still Designs
21:05
Textiles says read such run into
21:08
same time. In
21:10
the nineteen fifties, she
21:12
begins to receive serious
21:14
international recognition. And. In.
21:16
Nineteen Sixty Eight I mentioned that
21:19
she was given fast. Major.
21:21
Retrospective and below said and Germany which
21:23
was to raise his bike with stuff
21:25
reason for. Had actually met
21:27
her because she wanted to write a book
21:29
on for bad but then he kings you
21:31
have. A and.
21:34
Saw what she was doing and decided that
21:36
he asked to walk with her now and
21:38
that that was something he really wants to
21:40
do and what was special. but this exhibition
21:43
the said. It was probably
21:45
the first to show the full
21:47
range of all aware. Of.
21:49
The object together. We decided that he
21:51
asked to walk with her now and that
21:53
that was something he really wants to do
21:56
and what was special. but this exhibition the
21:58
said. It. Was probably the
22:00
fast to show the full range
22:02
of all aware. Of. The
22:04
object together with the paintings
22:06
and drawings snow was was
22:09
quite boards. As a curatorial
22:11
decision, And only after
22:13
this exhibition and Germany. Her walk
22:15
was shown more and more and France and see
22:18
how to be done. Making. Donations
22:20
of how work but also bass.
22:22
Work to state elections.
22:26
One. Example was. Her donation
22:28
to them is innocent I download out
22:30
in the nineteen sixty. Four which was.
22:33
Exhibited at the New Flu and you
22:35
can. On. Line for. Example
22:37
Often find the note that Sonia was the
22:39
fast living woman to read to receiver it
22:41
respect to that you look at. This was
22:43
actually not the case. This was. A
22:46
group of. Just over one hundred
22:48
works by both don't on a. That.
22:51
Were casserly selected by Sarnia and
22:53
it was presented at the move
22:55
well as this. Important.
22:57
Gifts to of knowledge
22:59
and celebrate their generosity.
23:03
Two things that are important
23:05
about this. From
23:08
a strategic points of view is.
23:11
Vastly. That she begins solidifying
23:13
for legacy in the official history
23:15
of French. Art By giving these
23:18
major works to. A. National
23:20
Museum of Modern Art. And
23:22
secondly, she starts building a
23:24
very good relationship to seats.
23:26
The influential figures like for
23:28
example. The. Minister of Culture of Pass
23:30
on to be mindful. And. In
23:32
the course of the sixties and seventies,
23:34
this relationship to the stage. Roofs
23:37
very useful because it facilitates
23:39
some of the major retrospective
23:41
said she has. But more
23:43
importantly, And. I think that she
23:45
enjoyed this greatly is. Made. Hope.
23:47
A real superstar in the history of
23:49
friends are it's because at once she
23:52
was recognized as. A pioneer
23:54
of obstruction that somebody who
23:56
fiverr revolutionized art and the
23:58
early twentieth century. And
24:00
new people like. Less. On
24:02
the road ends up when you now but
24:04
at the same time she celebrated. As
24:07
a contemporary artist who exhibit.
24:09
Week when to the ends and
24:11
represents France and. In the
24:14
exhibition of Bgc we have one black that
24:16
is. Emblematic of this. Which
24:18
is painting that. As. Us Pompidou
24:20
the French president gave to Richard Nixon
24:23
and masochist and Nineteen Seventy and that's
24:25
a big deal. Very.
24:28
Big Me out. So. The Nineteen
24:30
sixties and Nineteen seventies. when some
24:32
yet she's already in her eighties
24:35
and nineties. Are a huge
24:37
sleep productive period and she really
24:39
enjoys. The same but is also
24:41
full of excitement for a new
24:44
avenues of promotion and of artistic
24:46
production that she witnessed sense in
24:48
Mans. in the mid
24:51
nineteen sixties she also meets Zoc
24:53
dumb ass. Pool was gallerist and
24:55
and as a similar and to
24:57
to have some begin walking. On.
24:59
Money on Sex Together for
25:01
example, limited edition art books
25:03
that. Reproduce. Poetry.
25:07
From. Her friends with her own
25:09
bomb and suave and designs
25:11
and composition. And. One
25:13
of these works for example is this
25:15
gigantic local radio with have Passion costume
25:18
design said. Folds out to
25:20
the length of several meters them that's
25:22
and the exhibition and. The.
25:25
They also produce litter graphs and
25:27
work with the Arterial Gallery, where.
25:30
You. Know anybody could go and
25:32
buy Sonia scars and the nineteen
25:34
seventies or played than damages. Additions
25:36
were no household objects. And.
25:39
This was the time of course when
25:41
art multiples or something that matches and
25:43
that's very popular. And I
25:45
think that she really profited from the
25:48
fact that the Nineteen twenties were fashionable
25:50
in the sixties and seventies. And
25:52
she said himself that Have
25:54
Whacked. Came. Forty years too
25:56
early. And she was right, because everything
25:59
that. She had done in the. Twenty Four Two years
26:01
later, felt. Really? Contemporary and modern
26:03
and. Just. As when
26:05
she was young, she was still
26:07
really unpretentious about this idea. us
26:09
high and low arts and it
26:11
was great fun for hard to
26:13
design thing like playing cards or
26:15
sports car or. A. Vinyl records.
26:17
Leaf was some musically. She.
26:20
Really push this idea for the
26:22
playing cards for example and wanted
26:24
them to be produced because she
26:26
knew that that was something small
26:29
and accessible. That was great marketing
26:31
for. Everything. Else that she did. Not.
26:33
Now my mind is this going wild
26:35
thinking about getting on E Bay and
26:37
seem falcon search out some of these
26:39
very very fine dell on a quote
26:41
unquote everyday objects. Are. You can
26:43
you guarantee that that? that? You.
26:47
Have an aura of course
26:49
have this incredibly in depth.
26:51
Wealth of knowledge and and in
26:53
particular ensues some of these new
26:56
realms. Of Dylan is over that
26:58
other people haven't worked on. I'm
27:00
curious if you have any thoughts
27:02
about her artistic legacy. Or.
27:04
Perhaps it there any. Take away
27:07
his are significant discoveries that that you want
27:09
to mention that we haven't already talked about.
27:12
Well. I'm I'm probably
27:14
extremely biased because in the past
27:17
four years I've pretty much but
27:19
every single day with her. but
27:21
I think that's truly very few
27:23
visual arches of the twentieth century
27:26
hot comparable influence to pass. She's
27:28
changed so much, she's changed so
27:30
much bastion, and she still inspires
27:32
designers and. In. Fashion but
27:34
also an interior design. Until
27:36
this day, she completely redefined
27:38
the relationship between. Fine. Arts
27:41
and all other disciplines that
27:43
are supposedly nowhere and sea.
27:45
Change. The way that an arduous.
27:48
Could save their own legacy and.
27:50
Speed, this influential force and
27:52
countless feels and. To
27:55
me really, she's a role model and
27:57
so many ways she was. Extremely
27:59
says. Cern. She was a
28:01
highly intelligent individual. Would.
28:03
Always act on her intuition and
28:06
she was berries. We have spirits
28:08
a great intellectual and she. Managed.
28:11
at the same time to express himself
28:13
and very accessible way. Whether it
28:15
was to was or through color. And.
28:18
She had the most impressive work ethic which
28:20
I think made a very. Successful.
28:23
And despite all these. Tremendous.
28:25
Achievement and this exceptional
28:27
career and same. That she
28:29
enjoyed. I think that's. The. Most
28:31
important aspect about what spree
28:34
to set everything The so
28:36
joyful. You look at her odds
28:38
and ends. Anything, whether
28:40
it was made in Nineteen Thirteen or
28:42
Nineteen Seventy Three is just so full
28:45
of lies and seems completely timeless. And.
28:47
I don't think that many artists of
28:49
the twentieth century have achieved body of
28:51
work that touches the. The general
28:54
public, So. Much later on
28:56
a level of pure joy. Yeah, absolutely
28:58
I had. I am a signed up
29:00
for another day who was having a
29:02
hard time and I'm like you are
29:04
going to do and I. I've already
29:06
seen it twice. But when you get
29:08
back I'm gonna take you to the
29:10
Senate Delany Exhibition. And it was that
29:12
very reason has there's something that is
29:14
something very emotional when you walk into
29:16
that exhibition. You can't. Walk. Out
29:18
and not feel something. I
29:21
completely agree. and I think that
29:23
is that has to do with
29:26
the fact that whatever she did,
29:28
she was so independent from her
29:30
surroundings. Yet she was inspired by
29:32
many things like technology or model
29:34
lies, but at the same time.
29:36
Everything that's created came.
29:39
From. Her in the cell and. That.
29:42
You can see across her work, across
29:44
her body of work said. It's
29:47
almost like this organic and city
29:49
where everything is connected with each
29:51
other and that is so tungsten
29:54
all to. Her. As.
29:56
Soon. As. A human
29:59
being and. I think the that the
30:01
origin of this. This. Of
30:03
the soy. Yeah. Well or
30:05
at home. So much for your time.
