Important and influential artists of the new wave (called “no-wave”) in the New York underground, Scott B and Beth B will appear in person and present four reecent works.
“The existence of a punk bohemia, the cross-fertilization of avant-garde rock and post-conceptual art, and the proliferation of sync-sound super-8 cameras have stimulated a number of young artists and musicians over the last year to produce a new wave of content-rich, performance-oriented narrative films. Rejecting the increasingly academic formalism that has characterized the 1970s film avant-garde, as well as the gallery art of video, the super-8 new wave represents a partial return to the rawer values of the 1960s (Jack Smith, Ron Rice, the Kuchar brothers, early Warhol).”
