ray tells of one of the greatest recentish film......YOU AND ME AND EVERYONE WE KNOW.







all pics from thecia.com.au

before i start let me just say two things:
1. whats with the newish weird code of distorted letters one must enter to comment?
2. how do you put pictures without them all being in a weird line or on one side or other not how i want things?
okay so i asked two things,but one is retorical.

Frieze(quite like this journal)nov-dec 2005. pg.38-39.
An article about the excellent film "you and me and everyone we know".If you heven't seen it you must go get it,andrew recommended it to me.its about an artist and according to him(i don't know i'm not quite one yet)is the most accurate portrayal.anyway its a really great film,if you like arthouse good ones. theres some great quirky characters like the kid above who is my fave and of course the woman playing the artist is actually an artist and the writer of the film.
Miranda July is a video and performance artist who was fairly successful in the art world and who was accepted into the Sundance screenwriting program for feature films,where where wrote this genius film. there are quite a lot of references to her own art work in the artists story.And there was a lot of focus on her being an artist during all the publicity for the film.
basicly as they said in the article"quirky video artist makes film about quirky video artist" july says its more accessible than her previous work and that she "traded the elitism of the art world for the star system".
Theres some great bits about the art world like when two curators think an artists hamburger wrapper is "ART" until he throws it away. anyway i'm so glad to have found this art-film in a journal so i can tell you all about it and
learn a little more my self.
so go watch it,if you like them emotional,quirky,arty,sensitive and funny you will sooooo love this film.
and its being about an artist makes it even better for us art school types.
enjoy.
