“The
public doesn’t want modern art. The public has never
wanted it and they never will”.
Flaming Creatures Jack Smith, 1963
This seminal, rarely seen classic, banned by the Supreme
Court during the sixties and influence to the Underground,
is “populated by an assortment of neighbourhood poets,
painters, vanguard composers, communists, druggies, wild
women and homosexual men such as no Hollywood orgy-master,
neither D.W. Griffith nor Erich von Stroheim would ever
use.” J. Hoberman
Hail the New Puritan Charles Atlas, 1986
A fictional day in the life of the young enfant terrible
of contemporary dance, Michael Clark. Clark’s vigorous
day includes an interview with a dance critic in a surreal
skit featuring members of The Fall; a cemetery filming
for an underground featurette; an erotic encounter in
a mirrored bedroom; a nightclub scene; and dancing to
exhaustion at home alone.
With some terrible videos by Bowie, Morrissey and Jean
Genet.
