Were these films featured for a run at the Geggenheim Museum in NYC a few years ago?

I found it hard to stay awake and drifted into light sleep two or three times for just a few minutes. In my dreams I was still watching the film – but this time making sense of it. Then I’d wake up and be befuddled again. I still have no idea how he gets away with some of the stuff he does: a demolition derby in the Chrysler building? WTF?!

I’ve screened all his CREMASTER films here at my film series, including DRAWING RESTRAINT 9 with his then-wife Bjork. Phew! Strong attendance at first, but it tapered off with diminishing returns. People can only handle so much…

I know he had a daughter with Bjork (and it was normal, instead of the expected swan made of jelly), although it’s now rumored he broke up with her via FaceBook – but that seems too crazy to believe, even for Barney.

I am not sure what to make of it yet, but I like watching films that are challenging and push people out of their comfort zones.
