'That’s my pathway of this great thing that Martin Scorsese calls cinema.' JordanPeele dished out some of his early inspirations from the silver screen — with a nod to Martin Scorsese’s recent controversial statements
For 17 years, the Hammer Museum has welcomed two artists from different disciplines —one from Hollywood, the other from the art world — to share the same stage as honorees at its annual fundraiser, the Gala in the Garden.
Gay then welcomed Peele to the stage as he was greeted by a standing ovation from the audience of nearly 500 guests. At 40, Peele may be a few years from the improv beginnings of his career, he quickly reminded the crowd that he still has the comedy chops. "I have to be honest, I was expecting a physical award," he said, pretending to hoist an imaginary trophy. "Something that had, like a base…or, you know like a piece of art on top? But that’s fine. It’s not about that.
Peele said that as he grew up, his perspective on life became "a little cynical," and he found new truth in the exploration of what he refers to as "the human demon." "That’s special to me. We’re connected. Where there is that fundamental sameness that brings us all together, makes us scream in a theater, there’s a hope that as long as we continue to strive for truth, we can combat our barbarism," he concluded. "It is a fight that we can never stop. I’d like to think this honor, this award, is a testament to that."
The rest of her speech focused on what Chicago has done with her life as the groundbreaking feminist artist who is, perhaps, best known for her work titled "The Dinner Party," hailed as the first epic feminist artwork. It features 39 place settings — all vaginal iconography — placed on triangular table for 39 mythical and historical famous women.
She clarified resistance by saying that what actually has happened to her during her career in the art world been more extreme. "In fact, it would be more accurate to say that the art world tried to kill me and my art. For many many decades it seemed like my work did not exist and my influence had not happened," said Chicago.
