I know some of you loathe the Franco-- but sorry, gotta get this one up as it mentions our fine show!! LA TIMES:
James Franco is as meta as it gets, the ultimate in creative
cross-pollination. He’s an
actor-turned-artist-turned-author-turned-actor-playing-an-artist-named-Franco
in the soap opera “General Hospital." His new self-referential filmic
offshoot, “Francophrenia” documents that experience. He’s also been cast
in the upcoming Seth Rogen movie, in which he plays -- who else -- the
actor-artist-author James Franco.
Drawing on all those areas of interest, Franco appeared at MOCA on
Saturday in conversation with art theorist and Rhode Island School of
Design digital culture lecturer Francisco Ricardo. The sold-out event –-
which drew an appropriately young, hip-looking crowd of roughly 200 --
marked the release of Franco’s new book, “The Dangerous Book Four Boys.”
The book is a companion to the 2010 New York exhibition of the same
name and collects interviews, photographs and multimedia artworks around
the themes of childhood and media, among other things.
