Did he show the powerpoint presentations? Or has he moved on from that medium? Bill and I got to see the mental map pictures and powerpoints at the Eastman House when David Byrne came to Rochester. :)

He showed A powerpoint presentation, but it was all photographs of the art he was speaking of, none of which was his.

the byrne talk was horrible

i too was at the ica that night and your description of the byrne talk was far nicer than mine... clearly, you're a fan. :) byrne rambled on for way too long without having any clear point to present. he seemed fascinated by miller's work but didn't have anything novel or interesting to say about it. he just needed to develop his ideas a little more; otherwise, it sounded like a nervous, under-prepared high school presentation.

it was amazing. and i think the only real reason many people came to see him was due to his talking heads fame. i hope that other talks at the ICA by well-known artists will be better than this one.

Perhaps I am just used to hearing nervous talks having come from a college full of total nerds.
