Ghada Amer as a Rolling Stone Reporter
	Ghada Amer was also one of the artists featured in my 1997 exhibition "Vraiment feminisme et art" at Le Magasin, Grenoble. Armelle Leturcq, the editor of the Paris magazines Blocnotes and Crash, introduced me to Ghada's work. She works with embroidery on stretched canvas, often with sexual imagery. She is Egyptian born and was educated in France: she went to art school at the Villa Arson, Nice. For the past few years she has lived in New York. Annina Nosei did her first New York shows, but now she is working with Jeffrey Deitch. She was such a pleasure to work with on "Vraiment" that I wanted to work with her again. We didn't know what part we wanted her to play but knew we wanted to ask her to do something. Even before we wrote the script, we knew we would write a press interview scene. During our research, Leslie and I had been taking notes on the kinds of questions journalists asked the Rolling Stones in the late sixties and what kind of answers the band - well, if was usually Mick - gave. Because one of the most crucial cultural considerations regarding the Stones involves their appropriation of Afro-American music, we conceived of having an African American artist pose questions to the Stones regarding cultural accountability and racism. We actually had a few other artists in mind for the role but then, for various reasons, decided against them. Then it occurred to us that Ghada could play the part, that being Egyptian and living in France and the United States provides one with plenty of experience and education in white racism. (Ghada once told me that in France, when she began to work with textiles, someone told her her work looked 'Mexican'!!!) We approached Ghada, who was shy at first. She is a serious person, not just a camera junkie like so many of us in the arts. But then she agreed.
