Bill Viola

Well, you know, museum guards or gallery attendants, um, are often, uh, uh, people who show great kindness and, and support to, to viewers, just like, uh, we've be- we've been hearing.

Uh, when I was the director of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, I recall that we had an exhibition of Bill Viola's work, and there was a remarkable sh- piece in it called Between Heaven and Earth, which had two black and white monitors suspended a, a, uh, next to each other.

And one showed Bill Viola's mother in coma, and the other showed his newborn son.

And the mother nev- the grandmother never got to, to meet the grandson.

And these two images just floated with each other.
