Film Paul McCarthy Film Series: Stan VanDerBeek, Bruce Conner, Yayoi Kusama, and Yoko Ono

  • Picture-2_large

In Low Life, Slow Life: Part 1, artist Paul McCarthy curates an exhibition of his influences, including paintings, photographs, sculptures, and printed matter from his favorite artists. Many of the collection's pieces are featured in Allan Kaprow's canonical 1966 volume Assemblage, Environments & Happenings, a first edition of which features in the display. Tonight's program also includes a look at the mid-century cinematic avant-garde; Bruce Conner's montages of appropriated film stock and Yoko Ono's fluxus shorts are better known, but Ono contemporary Yayoi Kusama's polka-dotted "happenings" really get viewers seeing spots.
