00:00David.

00:02Oh, how can I describe that guy?

00:07David Hammons has been on the Pulse for quite some time,

00:10and the work is ever-relevant.

00:12It had so many layers to it.

00:15Was that a joke? Was it just a performance?

00:17What was this about?

00:19David believes that the less said about him,

00:22the better off he is.

00:24I remember David taking big garbage cans.

00:31I just thought he was nuts.

00:33David started using the wire and putting hair on it.

00:37He's been able to do all these things

00:39which play on African-American history, culture, beauty,

00:44but it's not figurative.

00:46When I saw what he did with the bottle caps...

00:49Jeez.

01:26You must have a dream.

01:28Fantasy, a vision.

01:30No one else seems to be interested.

01:33Into the role of court jester.

01:36Into boomboxes.

01:37Into bebop.

01:38Hip-hop.

01:39Scatter shots.

01:40Lower poles.

01:41Higher gold.

01:42Into human hair.

01:43Into bottle caps.

01:44Into trine.

01:45So fine.

01:46That fine line.

01:47Into colors.

01:48Shapes and forms.

01:50You dig space for the spirit.

01:52That flash of the spirit.

01:54ooooooo
