An Open Letter To Bootleggers Of Video Quartet

Dear Bootleggers of Christian Marclay's 4-channel masterpiece, Video Quartet,

First off, you're fabulous. Second, rather than pan back and forth and back and forth across the four screens, if you would please station yourself to the side and get as wide a fixed shot as you can, maybe get a wide angle lens, even? Mkay? Great, thanks.

Hey, look at that, Video Quartet is showing at the Nasher Gallery at Duke until July 26th! School's out, could be pretty uncrowded!

Since 2001 here at greg.org, I've been blogging about the creative process—my own and those of people who interest me. That mostly involves filmmaking, art, writing, research, and the making thereof.

Many thanks to the Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Program for supporting greg.org that time.
