Gus Van Sant currently has a retrospective exhibition of his work at La Cinémathèque Française in Paris for those who are interested.
A write up in i-D says the includes two photos from My Own Private Idaho and says the following about the exhibition:
The show revisits not just Van Sant’s incendiary and impossibly wide-ranging films like My Own Private Idaho and Milk, but also his entire artmaking practice, which spans from photography and painting to original musical compositions and exciting collaborations with multidisciplinary artists, such as writer William S. Burroughs, photographer Bruce Weber, and rock god David Bowie. “With neither a banner nor a manifesto, he secretly, quietly spearheads and upholds a form of artistic freedom that shines outward from the fringes,” notes the retrospective’s curator, Matthieu Orléan.
Paris Photo also has a short write up on the exhibition and includes a photo of Keanu from Gus Van Sant’s personal collection.
A 15 page pamphlet on the exhibition is here.
