Laurie Anderson

Survival Kit | May 6, 2010
Laurie Anderson claims to have hitchhiked to the North Pole, and lived to tell about it. She’s a keen observer of the human condition and has a knack for turning her experiences into riveting multi-media performances, combining visual arts, music, storytelling, film, video, and electronic media into an artform uniquely her own. I suspect that this retreat might become fodder for her next work; let’s find out what she’s put into her survival kit for the journey.
Her list:
1. A violin
2. Book of images of all art work in the Prado
3. Nikon D1X Camera
4. DeSica's "Miracle in Milan"
5. Antony and the Johnsons (CDs)
6. equipment for an agility course for my dog
7. various disguises
8. complete works of Astor Piazzola

Plus:
Lou Lolabelle (our dog)
cell phone with international connections and unlimited time
computer
blank notebook
