ERIC MITCHELL’S KIDNAPPED

Leave a reply

Preserved by Anthology Film Archives, with support from the National Film Preservation Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, KIDNAPPED—Eric Mitchell’s 1978 remake of Warhol’s Vinyl—is a downtown saga starring Anya Phillips, Patti Astor, Duncan Smith, Gordon Stevenson, and the director, and screens in conjunction with the MoMA exhibition CLUB 57: FILM, PERFORMANCE, AND ART IN THE EAST VILLAGE, 1978–1983.

“The film’s visually off-kilter conversations about sex, unfocused social commentary, and frenzied dance scene culminate in casual acts of recreational sadism.”*

TWIN PEAKS AT MOMA

Leave a reply

Is TWIN PEAKS 2017 a television series or a movie?

“David Lynch’s latest TWIN PEAKS season is simply unclassifiable: something totally and spectacularly unique. However as the chief curator of film, and not television, at MoMA, I will simply say that my opinion on the matter can be interpreted through the fact that I have invited it to be screened at the Museum. Interpret that how you will, and we hope you will join us in this debate by experiencing this incredible work on the big screen for free this January.” — Rajendra Roy*

RADICALISM AND ITALIAN DESIGN IN THE ’60S

Leave a reply

This week, the Hammer Museum and American Institute of Architects/Los Angeles present a talk on the “intersection of counter-cultural radicalism and Italian New Wave design in the 1960s.”*

Join professors Felicity Scott (author of Architecture or Techno-Utopia: Politics after Modernism) and Mark Wasiuta as they “explore how cutting-edge Italian design encompassed fashion, furniture, and architecture to reimagine every detail of Italian social and political life.”*
