Laurie Anderson is featured in the New York Times and the New Yorker, which both look at her new film and album, Heart of a Dog, and her piece Habeas Corpus, which recently premiered at the Park Avenue Armory. "They’re both about how you tell stories, and what they mean," she tells the Times, "and how you create a world with them." In London for the BFI London Film Festival debut of Heart of a Dog, Anderson was the guest on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour and BBC Radio 3's In Tune. She will be the guest on BBC Radio 6 Music's Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone this Sunday and can be heard on this week's Dinner Party Download.
Laurie Anderson, whose new film, Heart of a Dog, is opening in theatrically at New York's Film Forum this Wednesday, October 21, is featured in this week's New Yorker and in this weekend's New York Times. Both articles look at the new film and its album, due next Friday on Nonesuch Records, and Habeas Corpus, her collaboration with former Guantanamo Bay detainee Mohammed el Gharani, which recently premiered at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City.
"They’re both about how you tell stories, and what they mean," Anderson tells the Times, "and how you create a world with them." You can read the piece by Jon Pareles in this weekend's paper and at nytimes.com.
"The insinuating complexity of Anderson’s world view is on display in her new documentary film, Heart of a Dog, whose soundtrack will soon be released by Nonesuch Records," writes the New Yorker's Alex Ross. "Ostensibly a memorial to Anderson’s beloved rat terrier, Lolabelle, the work interweaves the personal and the political, the confessional and the essayistic." Read his article in this week's issue and at newyorker.com.
Anderson was in London this week to present Heart of a Dog at the BFI London Film Festival and for a performance and conversation with Brian Eno for the festival. While in London, she was the guest on two BBC Radio programs: BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour and BBC Radio 3's In Tune, where she also shared clips from the film and soundtrack. You can listen again on their respective sites. She can be heard on another BBC program this weekend as the guest on BBC Radio 6 Music's Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone on Sunday.
Laurie Anderson also spoke with NY1’s Stephanie Simon about Heart of a Dog at its New York Film Festival premiere earlier this month. Simon calls the film “a dreamy, meditative essay on the loss of her dog Lolabelle, but it’s also a collection of stories about life, love, and death.” You can watch the interview at ny1.com. She can also be heard sharing a story on this week's episode of American Public Media's Dinner Party Download, available now at dinnerpartydownload.org.
