Laurie Anderson’s commencement speech 2012

“You have to actually make something to find out what it is you’re making.”
~ Laurie Anderson

I love this commencement speech by Laurie Anderson for the graduating class of 2012 at School of Visual Arts in New York City. Such enthusiasm, clarity and nonchalance – what an inspiration.

She also has an exhibition that is running from now through to June 23rd at 126 Leroy St in New York, entitled Boat. For more information, see here.
