75 Reasons to Live
Series
Organized by Suzanne Stein
Remember the end of Manhattan, when Woody Allen asks himself what makes life worth living? (“Groucho Marx, Willie Mays… Swedish movies…those incredible apples and pears by Cézanne…”) In celebration of SFMOMA’s 75th anniversary in January 2010, Dominic Willsdon & Suzanne Stein invited 75 people from the Bay Area creative community to give extremely short talks—7.5 minutes or less—on a single collection work they cared about. The talks took place during the museum’s three-day celebratory weekend: two at a time, every half hour, 25 a day (a single to close out each day.)

That was fabulous. I didn’t know that Charis Wilson had left us. I met her once at the Special Collections in the UCSC library. Edward Weston’s photographs of her and Antonioni’s Blow up and the career choices they may have possibly influenced…. All I can say is “ouch”…..
