Joni Mitchell East

At New York Magazine's entertainment and culture blog, aptly named Vulture, Joni Mitchell Gets Angry...

...And with the album… I confronted a lot of it and worked it out to a point. I read the Koran, I started Genesis, Augustine, did a lot of theological research.

Are you religious?
I'm a Buddhist. It's not theological. You have to work on yourself — you don't have a savior. It's self-study. The God of the Old Testament is the depiction of evil. Original Gnostic Christianity is very compatible with Buddhism, very smart.

Is there anybody else's music you're really enjoying right now?...

She handles the nonsequitur with grace.

There is a nice commercial photo of Joni at an exhibition of her anti-war photos at New York City's Violet Ray gallery Tuesday night with the story.

Two other photos from the event are in this post at fadingad. One shows Joni and portions of a dozen of these Green Flag Song works, first exhibited in Los Angeles last December. From that one:

Pensito Review, Joni Mitchell’s New Gallery Exhibit: ‘Art, Revolution and Torture’

Lorrie's Pop Life Art Blog covers celebrity artists. She went to that show (Joni Mitchell’s "Green Flag Song" Art Exhibition):

This afternoon I visited Joni Mitchell's "Green Flag Song" exhibition at Lev Moross Gallery in Los Angeles. The exhibition is made up of 60 large green toned triptychs created from digitally modified combinations of photographic images, printed on canvas.

I spoke with gallery owner Lev Moross who worked with Joni Mitchell in creating the prints. He described how detailed she was in the process, carefully adding artistic elements and blending the images.

Many of the images are of political figures and war. She says that the images are based on photos of the screen of her malfunctioning television set. According to a Los Angeles Times article, she is quoted as saying “The theme of this show is war, revolution and torture”.

Thanks to Robot Wisdom for the first breadcrumb.
