75 Reasons to Live: Craig Baldwin on Wallace Berman’s Semina 7

Craig Baldwin is a filmmaker, curator, and publisher, and longtime host of ATA's Other Cinema. He's talking about the legacy of Wallace Berman and the art/poetry journal Semina (1955-64).Remember the end of Manhattan, when Woody Allen asks himself what makes life worth living? In January 2010, during SFMOMA's three-day 75th anniversary celebration, 75 people from the Bay Area creative community gave extremely short talks — 7.5 minutes or less! — on a single collection work of their choosing. Someone called it “manic splendor“ — and it was. You can view all of the talks on The Anniversary Show exhibition page. Or look for them here, on Open Space.
