Kevin Jerome Everson's film EMERGENCY NEEDS which was featured at AFI FEST in November 2007 has been selected for the 2008 Whitney Biennial opening the week of March 3rd at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. Everson is a genius artist and I got to see his latest feature THE GOLDEN AGE OF FISH at the Rotterdam Film Festival earlier this year. In fact, I was rushing to the theatre with Susan and we didn't realize that she didn't have a ticket until we got to the door. Who saved the day by offering us a free ticket? None other than KJE himself. So that was an exciting moment in Rotterdam. Additionally, Kevin is a current resident of my home town Charlottesville, Virginia! (He's an art professor there.) So kudos to Kevin for this incredible honor, I'm proud this incredibly intelligent artist is getting such a prestigious honor.
