Texture? And why on earth does texture matter? And why should you care? The full title of this lecture is Preliminary Notes On The Meaning Of Texture. It was given on October 24th 2018 at the L'Abri fellowship in Huémoz Switzerland. It's a preliminary study because according to my research almost no one has thought about this subject in any serious way. And yet it seems crucial to both understanding the times and surviving them. This is an introduction to the subject. Hopefully more people will add to these ideas. This is also a key in my studies in puppetry. But goes far beyond that art as well. Mentioned in this lecture: Jan Svankmajer, Bauhaus, Art Nouveau, Modern Architecture and Design, Walter Gropius, Stanley Kubrick, New York City, Mona Lisa and Genie the Feral Girl. This is the first of several lectures I have given i the past that I will post here. I am trying to clean up the sound and add a few visuals. Ultimately this is more about listening than watching. ............................................................................................................... Oh!
