On Friday, the Film/Video staff hosted Kenneth Anger for lunch in the Walker’s Gallery 8 Café. Having been long fascinated by Mickey Mouse (the subject of Anger’s Mouse Heaven, on view in the Lecture Room though tomorrow), Dr. Anger was quite taken BY Claes Oldenburg’s Geometric Mouse sculpture out on the terrace. He asked if it might be possible to have his photograph taken with the piece. Our crack photographer Gene Pittman was thankfully available and dropped everything to come up and shoot some pictures in the cold. The pictures are fantastic and as so few of these moments are seen by the public, I thought I’d share a few of my favorites here.
