DEVISED AND PERFORMED BY GOB SQUAD
The acclaimed multimedia collective of ingenious artists from the U.K. and Germany playfully deploys an inventive arsenal of live video and performance techniques to celebrate the culture-bending heyday of Andy Warhol's Factory. Live recreations of scenes from the 1965 Edie Sedgwick vehicle Kitchenacted out on bare-bones sets and viewed as black-and-white projectionsare spliced with other Warhol celluloid adventures to evoke an elusive, mythic time and placeits hedonistic experimentalism, its wave of social change. Shrewdly crafted and frequently hilarious, Gob Squad's live versions of the films collide with the immediate here-and-now to surprising effect, transporting the audience to an explosively creative era and unearthing the depths beneath the shiny surface of modern life.
Funded in part with generous support from the British Council, the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF), and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
