Godspeed, Grant Hart: Chris Larson Remembers a Friend and Collaborator
Grant Hart’s passing on September 14 at age 56 meant the death of a good friend, a creative partner, and a mercurial inspiration for artist Chris Larson, whose 2016 Walker exhibition Land Speed Record was created in deep collaboration with Hart. In remembrance, Larson shares a page from his journal, written the night of his friend’s passing, and an artwork by Hart.
