Leading figure in the avant-garde cinema and NYC underground scene of the 1980’s and 1990’s; Iconic filmmaker, writer, and painter, Nick Zedd returns to New York City for a festival dedicated to his work, providing New Yorkers with the rare opportunity to meet and experience this body of work.
In addition to coining the term “Cinema of Transgression” and critically framing the work of his contemporaries (as creator of Underground Film Bulletin from 1984–90 and writer of the Cinema of Transgression manifesto), Zedd is known for his low-budget films, paintings, and mid-2000’s public television series with Reverend Jen, Electric Elf.
For this event Zedd curated a special program with screenings of most of his works since the 80’s and hosting works of some of his peers in the Cinema of Transgression movement including films by Nicholas Abrahams, Tessa Hughes- Freeland & Holly Adams, Angelique Bosio, Richard Kern, Richard Klemann, Casandra Stark and documentary films by Mary Jordan and Andreas Troeger.
Glasshouse is an art-life-lab that aims to promote artistic experiences based on participatory, performance and time-based art in the domestic sphere, under the motto that “Art Should Be Experienced in a Place that Allows Staying”.
The newly opened Glasshouse in Williamsburg hosts performances, screenings and a residency program all dedicated to promote the hosting of artistic discourse. Alongside these public activities the unique nature of the place allows us to engage in a deeper research of the nature of performance and explore themes such as unannounced performances, long durational activities, one-on-one performances, dedicated spaces for accumulating performances and creating a taxonomy of performative experiences. This activity as a whole is being interweaved with/by the daily practice and life of founding artists Lital Dotan & Eyal Perry.
