#higher goals

While entrepreneurs are busy chasing numbers, its high time for a mind shift. I'll be in pursuit of building connections, soulful connections, even in the corporate world, to make the journey a bit more people centric than this constant drive of profit minting. At the end of the day, fact remains that businesses will anyway continue to exist and thrive, but how deep, strong & lasting are the connections built must be the real question...

‘The Melt Goes On Forever’ Review: David Hammons Makes, and They Take

A new documentary explores the artist’s sly conceptual works, and what it means when white people try to own something Black.

The movie has all the trappings of a serious nonfiction assessment: scholars, critics, curators and luminous comrades speaking to the humor, funk, atmosphere and texture of the Hammons experience, the acid and ingenuity, the bang of it. The way only he, seemingly, could tile whole telephone poles with bottle caps and affix a backboard and a basketball hoop atop each one, and then plant them, as he did in 1986 with “Higher Goals,” outside a courthouse in Downtown Brooklyn, where they took on a tribal, sky-scraping, palm-tree majesty that winked at the long odds of reaching the N.B.A.’s summit. That piece is like a lot of Hammons’s work: tragicomic. A small forward would need to pole-vault up to those baskets.
