WILLIAM BRADLEY


Recently I have embarked upon a new kind of a project, a collaboration with my friend Daniel Johnson. Daniel's a poet here in Chicago and we are constructing a multi media piece using his poems accompanied with a video montage of found footage from the home movies of William Bradley. The home movies were purchased by Daniel's friend at an estate sale and are really quite amazing to watch. When we googled the name William Bradley, we got this ugly mug; however, some of the footage can be viewed by clicking here. Daniel will be reading his poems in conjunction with this footage next Wednesday night at 5:30 at the Hokin Theater, Columbia College (here in Chicago).
