Lunchtime Lecture #4: John Freyer

I just want to comment that the last two Lunchtime Lecturers(Sasha Waters Freyer and John Freyer) have the same last name: Freyer. Are they related or is this just a coincidence? 

This I think has been my favorite Lunch Time lecture thus far. I am not really a coffee person, but the motivation behind his coffee cart was really impactful. I admire his ability to take the hardships in his life, push through them, them make art to help people struggling with the same thing as him. Beyond being a cool person with a big heart, he is also quite funny. I was reading up on him and in his All my Life for Sale project he sold his side-burns, which is hilarious. His Social Practice art provides a different way to look at art which I hadn't considered before. I think I would be fun to do, maybe even on a limmited scale for my Head and Heart project.

Also I have no idea how to give a credit line to his work because they are so complex and especially for All My Life for Sale have a huge amount of elements and media. Because of that, I am not going to give them credit lines beyond the name of the project associated with each picture.
