Judith Bernstein Exhibition
Alex Zachary Peter Currie
This event has ended.
I'm going to make an intense and humongous charcoal drawing of my signature over the townhouse gallery, which is a perfect jewel and container for my signature. The Signature Piece, a subtext of stardom, fame and ego, deals with the art world and the bigger world at large. Downstairs will be a large projection of the 1958 Alex Guinness movie, "The Horse' mouth". Guinness' character in the film, Gulley Jimson, is an eccentric British artist who trashes a patron's home while making a mural and winds up having an exhibition at the British Museum. The movie is an artist's fantasy with fabulous results. In 1977, I made two installation pieces at William N. Copley's (CPLY) townhouse near the Guggenheim Museum (one in his living room, the other bedroom), I kept thinking I was going to trash Bill's place with his extensive Surrealist collection and getting the results that Whistler had with his Peacock Room.
