12! BIG NAMES!(1974)

"12! BIG NAMES!" was a critique of his [George’s] colleague artists whom he considered as becoming more interested in building up their names than their art … During the first projection of the slides, which took place in l974, at the 80 Wooster Street Cinematheque, I was asked by George to keep each slide on the screen for three minutes.The first projection was silent, except for the exuberant reactions of the audience which were recorded by Larry Miller and run during some of the following projections as a soundtrack. - Jonas Mekas
