Palimpsest

On a brisk February night in 1999 a live 1,250 pound bull was visited upon the grunt Gallery.

A cave painting was projected onto the bull and the smooth, angular gallery walls. Ancient myths and stories were re-told. We talked about bison, bulls, and palimpsests (and nature & culture).

The thing I remember the most from that evening was the presence of the enormous bull and the respectful hush of the audience. Here we all were, crammed into this small gallery with a massive unpredictable creature, and a shared a sense of reverence.
