[Frameworks] Suzan Pitt

[C Keefer]

Very sad news about Suzan. She was a brilliant artist who will be missed.
I'm honored to have guest lectured for a few of her classes, while she was
still teaching at Cal Arts. She wanted her students to be exposed to
Fischinger and other films from our archive. Suzan was a great supporter of
Center for Visual Music.

For those in N. and S. America who want to see her films, CVM will have
some of her DVDs here by end of the month. *Suzan Pitt: Animated Films*,
the recent Re:Voir release.
It''s at our online store now, centerforvisualmusic.squarespace.com  but
won't ship for another week or so.

Or contact CVM at cvmaccess (at) gmail.com to arrange pickup in LA (east
side).

best regards,
Cindy Keefer
