Lectures by Paul Laffoley were marathons. Once I hosted an event in the gallery in his honor, and his lecture was four hours on Saturday night, and four hours on Sunday night (without repeating any portion of the topic). The event was entitled Un Apéritif de l’absinthe: Hommage à Rimbaud (2004). With additions of more recent digital reproductions from the archives of the Estate, Steven Moskowitz edited and added text to help with following along where the sound quality was garbled in these recovered recordings from 1984. . Paul frequently fell into periods of rapture when asked to speak publicly and it demonstrates a mastery of his chosen structured subjects.
Below you will find the lecture in its entirety.
