Siri Hustvedt Interview: Art is a Memory

[@dob1997]

I love her thoughts on returning to paintings and noticing new things or being a new noticer even.

[@OneSummerSky]

10:39 "His body rejected the horror he had seen" 12:11 "The best accumulation of knowledge is born out of genuine curiosity"

[@mynameisnotjerome1803]

I think her husband is the best living US writer, I am looking forward to investigating Siri and discovering the ways they influence each others work.

[@percivalwulfried3543]

Does anyone know about the German group of artist, who recreated the art from Bill Wechsler in "What I loved"? I would love to see these pieces.

[@yang2674]

Have you found them?

[@Sooper8]

I saw Siri speak at Hay this weekend. Superb clarity and she doesn't waste a single word. I am off out to buy Living, Thinking , Seeing today.

Perhaps it's just me but I would prefer to SEE more of the artwork and less of the person.

[@TanaHartmanThorn]

Frankly, it's boring just to watch a person sitting and talking, especially if the individual is not a compelling speaker.

Dig it

[@Cassandra702]

really, art has to be understood? I didn't know art appreciation was about logic and intellect. Isn't that what math is for?

[@vao5031]

what

[@himiyo8619]

She literally said she prefers when she can’t understand a whole thing

[@smellysock4260]

She's a German or Norwegian and looks at art the way that cultrure does.

[@smellysock4260]

The interview gets off track. She rambles and mumbles, and she becomes hard to follow. I didn't get one single f***ing thing from watching this. The interviewer is not doing his job, that job being to keep the guest on track. Interrupt and ask a question if you need to. Never do an interveiw like this. Best avoid watching. Instead, read the summary at the top of the page. Or read her book.
