Documentation of Karl Linn's Life and Work
In 2003 award-winning filmmaker Rick Bacigalupi released his hour-long documentary "A Lot in Common" (http://www.ALotinCommon.com) chronicling the planning and construction of the Peralta Community Art Garden and Commons. The film, which includes commentary by Karl and by Paul Hawken, Ray Suarez, Jane Jacobs, Carl Anthony, and British scholar David Crouch, has aired on public television stations nationally in the United States, film festivals internationally, and Free Speech Television. It is distributed by Bullfrog Films (http://www.BullfrogFilms.com).
On February 3, 2005 Karl died at home of acute mylogenous leukemia. His widow, Nicole Milner, continues to support the local commons projects Karl inspired and the website, karllinn.org, which records his life and work and provides a forum for creators of commons to share their projects. Karl's oral history was recorded by the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley, and his archives are housed at the UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design. Many of his projects are documented in his book Building Commons and Community, published by New Village Press in 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words karl, life and/or work:
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“Personal change, growth, development, identity formation—these tasks that once were thought to belong to childhood and adolescence alone now are recognized as part of adult life as well. Gone is the belief that adulthood is, or ought to be, a time of internal peace and comfort, that growing pains belong only to the young; gone the belief that these are marker events—a job, a mate, a child—through which we will pass into a life of relative ease.”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
“A work can become modern only if it is first postmodern. Postmodernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent state, and this state is constant.”
—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
