75 Reasons to Live: Kota Ezawa on Jeff Koons’s Michael Jackson and Bubbles

Artist Kota Ezawa responds to Jeff Koons's Michael Jackson and Bubbles (1988) by reading from the poetry of Michael Jackson: “I'm bad. I'm bad. You know it.“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.
