Definitely checking this out! "Weinstein Hammons Gallery is pleased to present Paths That Cross, a rare group of works that reflect decades of artistic exchange between Patti Smith, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Lynn Davis."

Laurie Anderson's performance at the Walker Art Center last night was angry, funny, and surprisingly emotional. "What do you do when your country disappears? Where will you go?" Sorry, no photos of the performance, but here's the stage and scans of the program they handed out.

The stage at the McGuire Theater in the Walker Art Center. The stage is shiny black and has a keyboard and monitors set up near the middle. A large screen in the back shows a projection of soapy water on a window.

A Note from the Artist

After spending the summer celebrating the 250th year of the Declaration of Independence with its ringing phrases—“we hold these truths to be self-evident”—it seems like a good time to look at the way we talk now. Republic of Love is a way of looking at words, reframing situations. For me it’s also a way to look at some of my older songs and see what those words might mean these days, words like “every man for himself” in the song Big Science and “language is a virus”.

There have been several versions of Republic of Love in the last year ranging from speeches to full band performances. The version presented here at the Walker is unique, dedicated to the people of
Minneapolis and their determination to come to the aid of others and to uphold the time-honored American values of civic responsibility.

Excerpt from Republic of Love, 2026

Some say our empire is passing as all empires do.
Ah, America, we saw it, we tipped it over and then we sold it.
I’m standing here in dawn’s early late in a country made of stories. What war is this? What time is it?

It’s not like we didn’t see this coming. There was a blueprint. Called “A mandate for leadership”, it was nine hundred and twenty pages
spelling out the whole thing. But by now words meant the exact opposite or they meant nothing. The experts and the pundits weighed
in. It was a field day for the spin doctors....

Yes we had regrets. Ah yes. There’s the past and there are all these regrets that come with it. And you ask yourself? How did I get here?
But like the great Willie Nelson said, “If we didn’t have regrets we wouldn’t have all that much music.” He also said that 90% of the
people in the world end up with the wrong person and that’s what makes the jukebox spin.

Tonight's program runs approximately 1 hour 45 minutes with no intermission.

feeling unexpectedly emotional as we visit saerbeck, a town of just 7200 in central germany that formed a climate municipality. they produce 4.5x the electricity they need, and have developed a whole array of climate solutions. one of them? a climate action curriculum that starts in kindergarten.

Coyote vs. Acme was great! Our screening was full of little kids, which made it even better. One kid was walking out of the theater singing "I Fought the Law" and I swear my heart grew three sizes.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”
