  • NO RAMBLING ON: the LISTLESS COWBOYS of HORSE Jon Davies
    WARHOL pages_BFI 25/06/2013 10:57 Page 108 If Andy Warhol’s queer cinema of the 1960s allowed for a flourishing of newly articulated sexual and gender possibilities, it also fostered a performative dichotomy: those who command the voice and those who do not. Many of his sound films stage a dynamic of stoicism and loquaciousness that produces a complex and compelling web of power and desire. The artist has summed the binary up succinctly: ‘Talk ers are doing something. Beaut ies are being something’ 1 and, as Viva explained about this tendency in reference to Warhol’s 1968 Lonesome Cowboys : ‘Men seem to have trouble doing these nonscript things. It’s a natural 5_ 10 2 for women and fags – they ramble on. But straight men can’t.’ The brilliant writer and progenitor of the Theatre of the Ridiculous Ronald Tavel’s first two films as scenarist for Warhol are paradigmatic in this regard: Screen Test #1 and Screen Test #2 (both 1965). In Screen Test #1 , the performer, Warhol’s then lover Philip Fagan, is completely closed off to Tavel’s attempts at spurring him to act out and to reveal himself. 3 According to Tavel, he was so up-tight. He just crawled into himself, and the more I asked him, the more up-tight he became and less was recorded on film, and, so, I got more personal about touchy things, which became the principle for me for the next six months. 4 When Tavel turned his self-described ‘sadism’ on a true cinematic superstar, however, in Screen Test #2 , the results were extraordinary.

  • Trash Is Truth: Performances of Transgressive Glamour
    TRASH IS TRUTH: PERFORMANCES OF TRANSGRESSIVE GLAMOUR JON DAVIES A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Programme in Film and Video, Critical and Historical Studies. York University Toronto, Ontario June 2004 1 2 3 Abstract I will examine several transgressive and transformative performances of glamour in American queer cinema. Primarily, I will look at Mario Montez in the films of Andy Warhol and of Jack Smith (1960s), Divine in the films of John Waters (1970s), and George Kuchar in his own video diaries (1980s). These performances are contradictory, messy, abject, and defiant; they are also profoundly moving to identifying spectators. The power of these performances lies in their harnessing of the experience of shame from queer childhood as a force to articulate deviant queer subjectivities. By forging a radical form of glamour based on a revaluation of trash and low culture, these performances refuse to value authenticity over artifice, beauty over ugliness, truth over trash. This trash glamour is intimately connected to the intense star identification of Hollywood cinematic spectacle that was a survival strategy for queer male children in post-World War Two America. 4 Table of Contents Abstract 4 Table of Contents 5 Introduction 6 1. Theoretical Context 15 2. Super-Fans: Warhol, Smith, Montez 34 3. Divine Shame 62 4.

  • 1 Bufferin Commercial Gary Needham Bufferin Commercial Refers in Its
    Bufferin Commercial Gary Needham Bufferin Commercial refers in its title to a widely available brand of aspirin. The film is also typical of some of Warhol’s filmmaking practices in 1966 and, I will argue, anticipates Warhol’s philosophy on relations between business and art. In addition to offering some commentary on this relatively unknown film I also want to use Bufferin Commercial to explore some possible ways to explain and account for those filmmaking practices that Warhol described circa 1966 as being deliberately bad; Warhol pretended to be both incompetent and curious about the process of making films and even made a statement on network television advocating ‘bad camerawork.’1 Bufferin Commercial shouldn’t be confused with the other Bufferin (1966), the portrait film Warhol made in collaboration with Gerard Malanga and the subject of Jean Wainwright’s chapter in this volume. Bufferin Commercial is comprised of two 1200 foot thirty-three minute reels. The first reel is without sound (an unintentional accident) and the second reel has sound. There is some uncertainty surrounding the film’s projection history as being either a single screen 66 minute film, listed as 70 minutes in The Filmmaker’s Cooperative Catalogue No.4 (1967), or a double screen projection that would be 33 minutes in duration.2 It was filmed on Wednesday, 14 December 1966 with two cameras that ran simultaneously, one of them operated by Warhol and the other by Paul Morrissey. Bufferin Commercial’s absence from commentary on Warhol’s films may be due to it being one of the few of his sixties films that was an outside agency commission organised by Richard Frank from the Grey advertising agency in New York on behalf of the pharmaceutical company Bristol-Myers.

  • Marcel Duchamp / Andy Warhol.’ the Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
    CULTURE MACHINE REVIEWS • SEPTEMBER 2010 ‘TWISTED PAIR: MARCEL DUCHAMP / ANDY WARHOL.’ THE ANDY WARHOL MUSEUM, PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA. 23 MAY-12 SEPTEMBER 2010. Victor P. Corona Had he survived a routine surgical procedure, Andy Warhol would have turned eighty-two years old on August 6, 2010. To commemorate his birthday, the playwright Robert Heide and the artists Neke Carson and Hoop organized a party at the Gershwin Hotel in Manhattan’s Flatiron District. Guests in attendance included Superstars Taylor Mead and Ivy Nicholson and other Warhol associates. The event was also intended to celebrate the ‘Andy Warhol: The Last Decade’ exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum and the re-release of The Autobiography and Sex Life of Andy Warhol (Wilcock, 2010). Speaking with some of the Pop artist’s collaborators at the ‘Summer of Andy’ party served as an excellent prelude to my visit to an exhibition that traced Warhol’s aesthetic links to one of his greatest sources of inspiration, Marcel Duchamp. The resonances evident at the Warhol Museum’s fantastic ‘Twisted Pair’ show are not trivial: Warhol himself owned over thirty works by Duchamp. Among his collection is a copy of the Fountain urinal, which Warhol acquired by trading away three of his portraits (Wrbican, 2010: 3). The party at the Gershwin and the ‘Twisted Pair’ show also provided a fresh opportunity to explore the ongoing fascination with Warhol’s art as well as contemporary works that deal with the central themes that preoccupied him for much of his career. Since the relationship between the Dada movement and Pop artists has been intensely debated by others (e.g., Kelly, 1964; Madoff, 1997), this essay will instead focus on how Warhol’s art continues to nurture experimentation in the work of artists active today.

    Flaming Creatures. Dir. Jack Smith, 1963. Frame enlargement. Bottom image: Queer tropicalism—Mario Montez as Delores Flores. 6 Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/grey.2008.1.32.6 by guest on 01 October 2021 The Puerto Rican Lower East Side and the Queer Underground JUAN A. SUÁREZ By now we do not lack studies that place the 1960s underground within the history of queer culture—as a revival of 1910s and 1920s Greenwich Village bohemianism, a time of growing visibility after the closeted 1940s and 1950s, or a foundational period for subsequent queer art and life—but we still have to examine how this par- ticular moment intersects with a number of ethnic cultures, particularly with Latino cultures. The connection is elusive but deserves to be examined. After all, the period of latency and development of the New York underground, roughly from 1950 to 1968, coincides with the large-scale Latinization of New York City under the influx of Spanish-speaking immigrants from the Caribbean, an influx prompted by the U.S. postwar industrial expansion and political interventionism in the area.1 Between World War II and 1970, the number of Latinos in the city grew from 150,000 to over a million—about ten percent of the population. The number of Cubans doubled, from 42,000 to 82,000; the number of Dominicans more than quintupled, from 13,000 to 70,000; and the number of Puerto Ricans increased from 70,000 in 1945 to well over 800,000 in 1970.2 Spanish Caribbeans initially concentrated in the area called El Barrio, the East Harlem section between 103rd and 125th Streets to the east of Park Avenue, and they later made inroads into the South Bronx, the Upper West Side, the East Village, and the Lower East Side.

  • “I Look Sexy-But Sweet”: Notes on Mario and Maria Montez
    “I look Sexy-but Sweet”: Notes on Mario and Maria Montez Mediático is delighted to present below an essay on Latina star of the 1940s Maria Montez, and Warhol superstar and drag pioneer Mario Montez by Roberto Ortiz, an independent scholar. He is working on a book on female stardom in classic Mexican cinema and another on Latino icons and camp stardom (Intellect) that will dedicate a chapter to Maria Montez.” “I adopted my name from her. She does everything with such fire—nothing is pretended.” –Mario Montez, 1967 “I am sick and tired of those [publicity] photographs. They make me look like a smoldering fire.” –Maria Montez, 1944 I must have first come across the name of Mario Montez (1935-2013) sometime during grad school, but I didn’t really pay attention to his work until much later, following a casual conversation with a scholar who had written about him. He spoke admiringly of José Rodriguez-Soltero’s little-seen 1966 film Life, Death and Assumption of Lupe Velez and fondly of meeting its star, Mario Montez. When he described him, the adjective that stuck to my mind was “sweet,” a word that I did not associate with being a member of New York City’s queer underground arts scene in the 1960s. I was reminded of that last year while reading film critic J. Hoberman’s obituary of Mario Montez :“Mario was a sweet, unassuming, modest man, and once he went into character, every inch a star” (2013). Hoberman’s words also brought to mind a 1944 profile describing Dominican movie star Maria Montez (1912-1951), after whom Mario took his stage name: “She is a junior Dietrich, a sultrier Lamour.

    ANDY WARHOL PRESS BULLETIN ‘Warhol in Motion’ June 8 –July 9, 2011 GALERİST Galatasaray / Akaretler /Tepebaşı THE MOST ESSENTIAL NAME OF 20 TH CENTURY CONTEMPORARY ART – ANDY WARHOL – IS AT GALERIST Galerist accommodates the first Warhol exhibition in Turkey; ‘Warhol in Motion’, and it contains the films, videos and polaroids of the legendary American artist Andy Warhol, who is considered to be one of the most important names of the 20 th century art. The exhibition that will be realized from June 8 to July 9, 2011 and its sister activities aim to bring together the art lovers with the well known works of the artist, who is not only a pioneer in the world of contemporary art but also in the fields of fashion, design and cinema. The exhibition, which will be realized through the collaboration of the Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts, The Andy Warhol Museum and Galerist as a result of a long term correspondence, consists of some significant works that were created by using cinema and photography techniques by Andy Warhol , who is one of the major iconic figures of POP ART that brought a new interpretation to the 20th century art in the aesthetic perspective. The importance of Warhol in contemporary art lies in the usage of various practices simultaneously, in addition to his paintings. The “Warhol in Motion” exhibition at Galerist will present his works that he produced while experimenting at his renowned workshop “Factory”, which he founded in 1962, in New York. The works in the exhibition have a feature that brings on both the artist’s creative efforts and some popular Americans like Dennis Hopper, Mick Jagger, Joan Collins and Liza Minelli.

I just wanted to say that I am gonna to publish that special dossier on Jack Smith (with J. Hoberman, Jerry Tartaglia, Marc Siegel, David E. James, and others). Next week. I also hope we can do a big special dossier about you, next year, with your cooperation. Best, Toni October 8, 2016 Dear Toni, I super-approve, time for another realization of Jack’s genius. Writing on me next year, most appreciated. My only regret, I would’ve liked to write something regarding Jack. Something without objectivity, personally pissed and in every way off the deep end. I would've written about the cheap shoes we saw for sale placed with others on wooden crates on Second Avenue on the old Lower East Side. No, they weren’t shoes, that was the whole point! They were rubbers, made to imitate shoes, with every detail copied from shoes in relief and standing out or sinking in but all made of rubber -shoelaces! molded of rubber- and big enough to fit Jack. I urged him to buy it, thinking it would amuse him but he shot me down, choosing not to be amused and accusing me of dreadful taste. He was probably pretending he could afford them and was choosing not to, the pretentious bastard.
