I believe there is a correlation between flying and filmmaking. Walter Murch makes reference to it in the documentary The Cutting Edge, but his coloration is different. He says that flight and cinema were invented in the same year, and then later he states that editing gave flight to cinema. While I agree with these correlations I think there is more, and it didn’t totally hit me until recently, as I shared with my students a documentary on Sally Mann and then a few days later boarded a plane to Copenhagen to attend Chp:dox.

Denis Johnson’s great-great-great-great grandfather was a pirate. This bit of family lore weighed on the author’s mind as he and his old friend, the artist Sam Messer, traveled to the Grenadines in the late 1990s. They were attending the artist residency Moonhole in the company of Kiki Smith, Sally Mann, and Rachel Whiteread, as well as Messer’s 6-year-old daughter, Josephine. Johnson, who had published the short-story collection Jesus’ Son a few years earlier, sometimes entertained Josephine, his goddaughter, with a tale he wrote called “Denis the Pirate.” It was the story of a fearsome pirate who sailed the seas with a one-eyed, one-armed, one-legged monkey who smoked mushrooms and spoke 27 languages, including Elephant and Iguana.The story had been sitting in a drawer for 15 years, but Messer, now associate dean of Yale’s art school, says, “I’ve always known I wanted to do something with it.

“We are stardust, we are golden”, sang Joni Mitchell of the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, held August 15-18th 1969, at a dairy farm in the Catskills near the hamlet of White Lake in the town of Bethel, New York. The irony was, she wasn’t even there.
A further irony follows in that whilst a myriad of psychedelic colours are synonymous with the Woodstock nation, one of the most revered choices of dress, clearly shown in the documentary Woodstock (1970) is a simple white leather fringed lace-up tunic-style vest and bell bottom trousers. It is worn by one of the first female rock stars, the lead singer of Jefferson Airplane, Grace Slick.
