Jack Smith "Wait For Me At The Bottom Of The Pool"
Boo-Hooray
This event has ended.
Jonas Mekas and Johan Kugelberg present "Wait For Me At The Bottom Of The Pool," artwork, ephemera, and photography by Jack Smith. The show is the starting point for work on a major illustrated book devoted to our favorite exotic consultant and baroque master, for publication in the winter of 2014.
Jack Smith, 1932-1989, was a master of the exotic idiom, working in theatre, underground film, photography, graphic design, drawing, and slideshows. He was one of the path-finding pioneers of American post-war underground aesthetics. Boo- Hooray is exhibiting handbills, posters, photographs, letters, artwork and collages by Jack Smith, spanning his times and mores.
