Chris Cunningham @ Opera House x Vivid Live Sydney

Just came back from the Chris Cunningham show at the Opera House as part of the Vivid Sydney Festival; in short it was a great way to spend a Sunday evening. He opened with his audiovisual mix of Gil Scott-Heron’s New York is Killing Me (as above) which, after seeing it in the Opera House, has become oneContinue reading “Chris Cunningham @ Opera House x Vivid Live Sydney”

I was going to write up some review, talk about some of the ideas, appreciate some of the artists, love the characters, etc. But itContinue reading “Watch Exit Through the Gift Shop.”
