Outtakes Opening Reception

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Sunday, September 7th
Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Location:Luxe Gallery (53 Stanton St)
Cost: Free

You would think my time at art school (clearly aparent by my poor diction and sentance structure on the site) I would be good with art speak. But alas, I am not. Enter cut and paste mode... "A celluloid portrait-in-progress is transformed into a riotous playground for the Cinema’s past in Outtakes, [Marie] Losier’s endlessly creative, hands-on installation devoted to industrial rock pioneer Genesis P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, Thee Majesty) and his partner Lady Jaye. Constructed almost entirely of unused clips and sound bites from Losier’s upcoming feature film, The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye, Outtakes puts the forlorn footage to work in the service of a whimsical retelling of film history — one in which the transformative Genesis P-Orridge is its unlikely star." All Ages.
