The NW Film center is screening Ric Burns' Andy Warhol Documentary tomorrow night. It clocks in at 4 hours with Laurie Anderson as the narrator and then there is the wry casting of Jeff Koons as the voice of Andy Warhol... kinda like casting one of the members of Oasis in a Beatles documentary. Should be interesting in a tragic Warholian sort of way. Here is a link to what the Village Voice said.


6:30 PM, September 19th
Northwest Film Center's Whitsell Auditorium at the Portland Art Museum: 1219 SW Park Ave.
Admission Prices: $7.00 General, $6.00 Members, Students, Seniors

You can also catch it on OPB as part of the American Masters series this Wednesday and Thursday at 10pm. Hotdog!

small screen, big screen it is some sort of serialized Warhol documentary blitz.

is it podcast yet?

No podcast, but it is available in a 2,146 page flip-book, which I thought was rather odd.

and later this fall, you can actually see some of Warhol's film work at Cinema Project!

December 11 + 12, check our website for more details: www.cinemaproject.org

The show was the worst piece of nonsense I've seen in a long time. A total hatchet job on art reducing Warhol to another commodity to talk about. And talk it did: almost four hours of commentary non stop with no more than five seconds for viewers to be allowed to look at the work without commentary or mood music. Pass on this one until they re-edit.
