This year’s version of Hearsay, an ongoing project collecting hearsay I’ve heard from the previous year.

On her new blog, videomaker Shelly Silver posted a great letter from filmmaker Hollis Frampton to Cherie Doyle, then curator at the Macalester College. It reminded me of another letter Mr. Frampton wrote, this time to Donald Richie, former film curator at the MoMA. The letter to Richie is one of my favorite pieces of artist correspondence. The executive summary: Frampton points out that everyone at the MoMA will get paid for the planned Frampton retrospective, except, of course, Frampton. The one-sentence condensation does it no justice, however. Read it. It’s brilliant.
