Being in the Needle's Eye
1981
"The energy coming from
the art school at the University of Houston that resulted in
Lawndale Art and Performance Center was enormous. I immediately tied
my interests to the university. James was very good at getting
people together and getting them to do things. He was the critical
figure of that period. How often do you have a sculptor with
national importance in the community? It was like having Jackson
Pollock working in your neighborhood. Surls had the kind of energy
that kept people going." |
