VISITING ARTIST

I just got out of the lunchtime lecture of Lyle Ashton Harris and I'm still a little dazed. He presented a video of a performance he recently did about Michael Jackson, celebrities, abuse and injustices. I was confused for most of the video, due to its lack of sufficient lighting. The only light source was coming from slides projected behind the performer. I understand Columbia wants the lunchtime and evening lectures to be different, but I think that today's lecture would have been more successful if we had a little introduction to who he is and his work. I have since looked up his work on the internet and really appreciate it!
