Laurie Anderson sat down for an interview at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark last month that included some sage advice to young people that could be applied equally well to others as well. In a piece for the Louisiana Channel—the museum's site for videos on art, literature, music, design, and architecture—Anderson tells interviewer Christian Lund that applying a term as broad as "multimedia artist" to herself has helped keep her work from being pigeonholed. She concludes: "Whatever makes you feel really free and really good, that's what to do. It's really simple." You can see what else she has to say in the video, which also appeared on The Huffington Post, below:

Anderson also spoke with Lund and the Louisiana Channel about her correspondence with then Presidential candidate John F. Kennedy in 1960, which included an assertion unexpected from a politician in his position, that "poetry and art are the engine" of society. Laurie Anderson recently performed her piece The Language of the Future: Letters to Jack, at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. You can watch that interview here:
