The founding publisher of both the Dead Language Press in Paris and the Bardo Matrix/Dreamweapon Press with artist/filmmaker Ira Cohen, Angus MacLise was a living link connecting the Beats, the Fluxus and the Factory scenes, and the hippies. He was also the Velvet Underground's original drummer. This multimedia exhibition, the first overview of his lifework, includes the ephemera from MacLise's suitcase lent by his widow Hetty, full of photographs, notes, poetry, and 100 reels of music, as well as sound installations at Boo-Hooray's second location in Chinatown, and film screenings at the Anthology Archives. Visit Flavorwire for a preview of the artifacts on display.
