Raymond Pettibon is creating a fourth network, a punked-out alternative to the image glut. Wielding a VHS camcorder, Pettibon churns out quasi-features about cultural icons such as the Weathermen, Charles Manson, and Patty Hearst. Citizen Tania tells with demythologizing guffaws the story of Hearst's abduction by the Symbionese Liberation Army. Tania, played as a brash bourgeois brat by Shannon Smith, quickly learns the body politic, really a politic of the body, and comes to dominate her captors. Pettibon's glimpse inside this pseudo-revolutionary cell is more about collective family than political infamy. Sir Drone, an epic in a single room, dogs Jinx (artist Mike Kelley), an apostate surfer, and Duane (Mike Watt of the Minutemen), a thick-set goof with a thing about posers. Two wannabe punksters, they try desperately to form a band, but the prerequisites don't come easy. The central theme, commitment to an idea, echoes from Achilles to Sid Vicious. But Jinx won't cut his hippie locks. Sir Drone fills its sparse staging with groaning humor, bathetic fallacies, and insights about belonging in a vacant world. -Steve Seid Plus a ten-minute monolog from Judgement Day Theater: The Book of Manson (Raymond Pettibon, 1989). Raymond Pettibon's narrative drawings are on exhibit in MATRIX.
