  • A “Live Documentary” Collaboration by Sam Green & Yo La Tengo
    R. BUCK- MINSTER FULLER A “live documentary” collaboration by Sam Green & Yo La Tengo CONTACT: [email protected] www.buckminsterfullerfilm.com CAN ONE PERSON CHANGE THE WORLD? END POVERTY? END WAR? Buckminster Fuller, twentieth-century futurist, architect, engi- neer, and inventor—he called himself a “comprehensive an- ticipatory design scientist”—experimented tirelessly for fifty years to find out just what a single person can do on behalf of humanity. R. BUCKMINSTER FULLER The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller is a new hour-long “live documentary” from Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Sam Green exploring Fuller’s utopian vision of radical social change through a design revolution. Originally commissioned by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s Design and Ar- chitecture Department, the project is a collaboration between Green and the legendary indie band Yo La Tengo. At each screening, Green narrates the film in person and cues imag- es while Yo La Tengo performs their original score. The film’s unique form draws inspiration equally from old travelogues, the Benshi tradition, and TEDtalks. 2 Buckminster Fuller was a grandiose and generous thinker, teeming with ideas. He once put together a lecture series called “Everything I Know”—it was forty-two hours long. No notes. He was an early proponent of conservation and environmen- tal stewardship as social justice; Fuller was interested in “doing more with less,” so that everybody could have enough. He redesigned human structures from cars and bathrooms all the way up to entire cities, inspiring figures as diverse as the industrialist Henry Kaiser, John Cage, and Stewart Brand.

Yes, this fight is personal for us. The Trump regime has already harmed too many people, in too many ways.

  • NOTA DE PRENSA El Trío Neoyorkino Yo La Tengo Presentará Su Disco
    Avda. Primero de Mayo, s/n 30006 Murcia NOTA DE PRENSA El trío neoyorkino Yo la tengo presentará su disco Popular Songs en el Auditorio y Centro de Congresos Víctor Villegas La banda, que actuará en marzo, completa la programación Otras músicas Los amantes de los sonidos más contemporáneos no pueden faltar a la cita que propone el Auditorio de Murcia el jueves 11 de marzo. Los veteranos Yo La Tengo , grupo clave del rock contemporáneo, actuarán esa noche completando la programación de Otras músicas. Llega a Murcia uno de los míticos grupos americanos, inspiradores del grunge y grupo de referencia. Una oportunidad única para descubrir el sonido de uno de los grandes de la música independiente que viene a presentar su último trabajo Popular songs . Las entradas ya se pueden comprar en taquilla, a 20 Euros. Yo La Tengo es un trío formado por Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley y James McNew, los dos primeros (marido y mujer) fundaron la banda en 1984. Este peculiar nombre para una banda neoyorquina surge de una anécdota beisbolera de Ira y sus amados Mets de NY: cuando una bola surcaba los cielos resguardados por el pelotero venezolano Elio Chacón y su colega norteamericano Richie Ashburn, la colisión entre ambos era inminente, ya que uno gritaba ¡yo la tengo! mientras el otro exclamaba a todo pulmón “I’ve got it!”. Hasta que Ashburn aprendió a decir en un precario español “yo la tengo”, los Mets vieron solución a sus problemas culturales y la mejor banda de noise pop que Hoboken ha visto nacer, fue bautizada.
