Jeremy Deller
Great article on the artist Jeremy Deller in Aspen, Colorado who has been inspired to create an exhibit based on the powerful narrative of Neil Young's song "Pocahontas".
The project "Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and Me" is at the Aspen Art Museum and focuses on one song that, in its original 1979 form, lasts three minutes and 24 seconds.
Deller says:
"The exhibit really is based on the song. (The song) exists on at least two different planes; it’s set in the present and also in the past, where Young is imagining himself as a Native American Indian escaping white settlers who are attacking his encampment. But it’s also about Vietnam, mid-70s America and materialism."
Jeremy Deller is the creator of the "What Would Neil Young Do?" poster.
